Feature request: time signature equivalents

[Janus]

@Michel_Edward

I’m going to repeat this request from much further back in the past year, I simply don’t remember if it was a comment in another related thread, or if I had started an actual feature request thread…

You started 2 threads on this same topic (and also added it to the Next Release feature requests thread)

Dashed false barline request

I have trouble being concise, so bear with me. music is in 7/4. requires “fake” dashed barline between beats 3 and 4. easily created for the score in Dorico. Great. Problem: flute has 3 measures of rest during this time. Normally, it would have a multi-measure rest, marked “3”, to indicate that there are in fact three bars of 7/4 music where it does not play. The problem is that Dorico’s “fake” barline isn’t quite so fake… in the flute part, it splits all those 7/4 measures into a bar of 3…

Feature Request + Improvement

first off, a feature request: the ability to turn a “x+y” measure so it displays as the total number of beats. for example, have a measure of 3+4/4 display as 7/4. This is particularly useful where the use of a pipe | symbol is used to create dashed lines splitting the inner beats of a measure. As an added option, please allow the use of the | symbol to apply to EMPTY measures as well as measures with music. Right now, the dashed barline split only shows in measures that have music, it does…
