I’m trying to input the figures “0” (indicating a rest) and the forward slash “/” (indicating the figure refers to the bass note before) over rests, in a chorale harmonization source I’m digitizing. Is there any way to have these appear in Dorico’s native figured bass mode?
No, Dorico doesn’t support these symbols as part of its native figured bass feature at present.
The stacking order of those figures I find really confusing. Are you intending to recreate the source verbatim, or is there room for standardization?
You should be able to add text elements (turn off collision avoidance).
Wouldn’t most players play nothing for a rest unless there was a figure on it?
Yes, I’m intending to recreate the source as closely as possible. So stacking order will matter too.
Yes, most players would play nothing for a rest unless there was a figure on it. Speaking of which, how can I make figures appear above rests? They seem to be hidden when I do so.
There’s a property on the rest itself to show the figure.
Oh, that’s a shame!
