How to split hidden time sgnature in parts with multirest

[orgelmeister]

Hello everyone.

When I change a barline (double, half, etc…), Dorico also writes a hidden time signature.
However, in the parts, the multirest is interrupted when the barline changes.

If I delete the hidden time Dorico automatically changes the barline I changed and I get again a normal barline.

For example, in a trumpet part I have:

multirest from bar 1 to bar 4, “my” doublebarline, multirest from bar 5 to…

If I delete de hidden time Dorico automatically changes the barline I changed and I get again a normal barline.

Someone does know how to avoid this problem?

Thanks in advance

What does the barline represent, and why don’t you want the Trumpets to know?

I think that if you add any manual item, it will break a rest. I don’t think there a layout-specific way of adding something like that.

But others may have ideas.

In Dorico, a change of time signatures is always ‘carried by’ a barline, and explicit barlines (that you add yourself) are always potentially representing a change in time signature. If the TS is the same as the previous one, it will mostly be hidden, but it’s there anyway, in the form of a signpost. If you remove the signpost, you also remove the barline.

And special barlines will always break a multi-rest, which is very good practice. A conductor might say in rehearsal to start at some double barline. If some players don’t have it, misunderstandings, wasted rehearsal time, and loss of confidence in the composer/arranger will ensue.
