Force rest duration in percussion kit

[Dissonancely]

I can usually force rest durations, but Dorico doesn’t seem to be able to do it on percussion kit staves. Is that correct? I can probably work around it with a hidden independent time signature.

This takes a little extra work for percussion kits. See this post:

Fermata placement for resting players

@sttrumpet Yes, for percussion kits a little workaround is still necessary, to input explicit rests (FWIK): create a note of the desired value (this will became the rest where the fermata needs to be) select the rest after it and activate force duration for it delete the note: the rest will be (remain) split thanks to the forced duration Here the post by @Vadian And some background information:

This is a better solution than using hidden independent time signatures.
