How do I make Dorico display 2 half rests in a 4/4 measure?

[David_Watson1]

I need my measure to look like number 1 but Dorico always combines it into a whole rest.

Hi

In Note Input mode, click o to force duration, comma, to write explicit rest, 7 for half note, y to input rest.

o,7y

David, to add to Damian’s perfect description, as a last letter you can also use any other key besides the y
o,7y or o,7[any key]

Got it! Thanks!

Super! And welcome to the Dorico forum, David.
