How to I hide or delete the dotted that appears after ossia staff is already supposed to be gone?

So I have this mesure separation line that stays on even though the staff is supposed to be gone

Hi @diegtaph, I don’t see an official option to hide the aggregate dotted line for this specific situation, when the ossia is shorter than the aggregate bar (causing the dotted line to appear in an unwanted place).

Here a workaround:

• to overcome the creation of the dotted division line, in the first bar use an Alternating Time Signature (instead of an Aggregate).

• Change the barline in what is now bar 2 (which is 1/8 long) to a dotted barline.

• In what is now bar 3, create an Aggregate TS (which you then can hide).

• Hide the bar number of what is now bar 2, and on bar three add a bar number change, so that it will become 2:

Workflow:

aggregate ts dotted line avoided using alternating ts.dorico (1.5 MB)
