Hi just wondering is there any way to get these H bar rests into Dorico?

Yes I have already set prefs to use that H bar style but I’m trying to get the more handwritten style as shown in the 5th bar, just wondering if it was possible?
In 2018 Daniel said “Dorico does not support the use of a font glyph to draw the H-bar of a multi-bar rest.” I haven’t found a more recent mention on the forum.
That’s a shame, I love the look of the above H bar. It was written by Robert Puff. Might have to stick with finale for a while longer.Create Narrow H-Bar Multirests in Finale – OF NOTE
Yes, Robert had an inquiry about it here too, early in development, when Dorico didn’t even do multi-rests yet. We miss him.

So should this go into feature request?
I’m sure it already is! If not, they’ll read your post.
Has he simply not posted or replied to anything since 2022, or has he died? Your “we miss him” reads like as if he’s already resting two metres under the turf.
Mr. Puff passed away some time ago.

Oh! Unexpectedly? I mean I don’t even know his age.
Robert very sadly succumbed to cancer. You can read his obituary on Scoring Notes here:
He is missed.
