How to restore rest after remove rest

Dorico
1

Hi,
Is there a way to restore the rest that are delete by the ‘remove rest’ command?
I’m working on a score with a solo instrument accompanied by piano. After I enter voice 2 in some bars of my piano staff, somehow my solo part becomes 2 voices with one voice changing to whole rest in every bar. I then use “remove rest” to remove the extra rest, then I discovered that those empty bars in the solo part have no more rest, totally empty. How to put the whole rest bark in these bars?

Thanks,
JM.

What the “Remove rest” function effectively does is flick the sliders for “end voice” and “start voice”. Find the last visible note or rest before the hidden ones, and turn off the “ends voice” option.

You can also manually insert a bar rest by going to the Bars and Barlines menu, on your right in Write mode.

Thanks! Both methods work well!

I know this is a bit of a necro post, but…

What if the removed rest is the first thing in a flow?
There are no rests or notes before that have the “end voice” option before it. That would be the final rest/note of the preceding flow, and clicking on it shows no option for this.

The first note in that voice will have the starts voice property set. Turn it off.

Using Dorico ipad how can I access the starts and end voice property? Is it through the context menu (three dots)? I am trying to restore deleted rests and I’m wondering if the start voice feature is in the ipad version of dorico?

(I don’t use the iPad version - so cannot advise)

Properties is in the lower zone.

This information is easy to find in the online manual. The blue text above is a link.
