I’ve been for hours trying that Dorico doesn’t make the first bar of my score, which is a whole rest bar, smaller than the rest. And I have not managed it. Can you please help me? I would like the first bar with the rest have the same width than the next 2 bars.
EDIT @Christian_R saw the multi-bar rest!
Ignore:
In Engrave mode (if you have the full version of Dorico), you move barlines horizontally, by choosing the horizontal option icon on the left, clicking the square above the barline:
then using the key commands outline here:

Hi @Teresa_Garcia, no need to use the note spacing tool: most probably you have a Start Voice property override on the first note. This causes the rest before to be removed and without space: only the" 1 bar multi-bar rest" (which is different from a full bar rest) will remain visible but will also have 0 spacing.
To correct this, remove the override and all will be good
