Forgive me if this is covered elsewhere. I have spent the last couple hours combing the forums for a solution to what seems like a common task, but I can’t find it. I’m simply trying to provide initial timpani tunings (as a playing technique) but NOT have it break the multi-bar rest. I realize I could attach it somewhere further down in the piece and drag it back, and also that a text box would work, but these both seem like inelegant solutions to something that is pretty common. Is there a different tool that I’m missing that would be better suited to this task?
Many thanks for your help and for the excellent product. I’m in Dorico 5.0.10 on a Mac and loving it.
my preference is to show the actual notes in the 1st measure, in cue size.
I usually place them in another voice, hide the beam, make them smaller, and remove playback for those notes.
simply putting the note names leaves a certain degree of ambiguity that can be avoided by inserting visible notes.
