Sometimes I have say a single note in a new voice. I need it just for a single spot. After that I get rests in that voice that won’t go away. When I attempt to select ‘Ends voice immediately’ Dorico wont let me, and just toggles the option off. What causes this? I come across it a lot. FWIW, I can set ‘Starts voice’ on the single note. Just sometimes the polyphony demands an extra note at certain points.
When this happens to me, I select the rest I want to delete and use the back arrow to find the note that precedes it. Then I can select the ‘end voice’ property and it sticks.
Same problem. I did not know that about back arrow - useful. But I go back a long way many pages before and the same problem occurs on that note.
I have encountered that when I mistakenly put a note or a few notes in the incorrect voice. If the pitch in the voice you visually associated with the following rests will not accept this toggle off, then it is in a different voice than the rests.
I have done this several times when I am composing. I rush to jot down a musical idea only to have it in the wrong voice…
