I have two questions regarding Tacet players on scores. I have created a Tacet box that can display in the staff using the line tool. I have checked erase background but the rest still shows through the text. Is there a different way to achieve this. Additionally, can you hide all rests for a player that is Tacet in a cue? This is used in Film Music since a single template is used throughout a film and it is nice to see which players are not playing on that specific cue.
You can select the rest in that instrument and activate the Force position and duration property, then set it to be 1% scale via the Custom scale property.
Dorico does of course have built-in support for tacet sheets: just make sure that the instrument is detached from the flow, but still attached to the part layout, and you’ll get an automatic tacet.
