Fixed values for improvisation

Hi helpful Dorico forum…
I wonder if it is possible to place fixed value notes above a tune as an improvisation guide(See attached screenshot) for jazz students. I can add the square on a pdf editor.
As always , many thanks

Patrick

Hi @Patrick22, is all obtainable inside Dorico, with a hidden quarter septuplet, and removed rests, hidden stems, and 2 custom lines attached to rhythmic position (one above, and one below, with extra long hooks* ) positioned in engrave mode:

Work in progress:

(* select the 2 separate lines, and click on the pencil in the bottom of right panel -horizontal lines- to see how they are built)
