LAYOUT DORICO 3.5

[111487]

Hello, I wanted to know if it is possible to do drum exercises with separate measures?
I would like to do a rhythm measure, then have a large enough space and then put a new rhythm Like the photo below
Thanks for your help

Hello and welcome,

yes, that’s possible. Do you have Dorico Pro?

I would probably work with music frames (Engrave Mode), but maybe there’s a way with hidden codas.

Feel free to ask further, if you need assistance.

There are many resources around to help you do this. There are tutorials like this…

Or templates, such as those created by @dan_kreider available to download here (Other templates are available!)

Thanks a lot for your answers
I only have dorico 3.5 I don’t have the pro.
Do you think you have to?
Thank you

You can get partway without Pro, but you’ll be limited. Hidden codes are the way to go.

I managed to do that, it’s already not bad but I would like to remove the tacet to then have for example a large space and write a new rhythm
I’m still looking for it should be possible
So I hid 8 measurements on this photo but it’s not yet what I want

[dan_kreider]

Sorry, I missed the auto-correct in my last post. Hidden codas. They’ll create a gap.

very well !
I tried to write by following but what would be really good is that by hiding my empty bars, I could for example write a new rhythm at bar 26 as in the photo.

j’ai réussis, a faire ceci ce qui est mieux mais j’aimerais dans le Bloc 1 mettre la mesure vide sur la droite séparé de la première mesure

[Lillie_Harris]

Here’s an example project demonstrating the idea Dan Kreider suggested before, of using codas to create the visual gap between bars (all in one flow). By default, the first bar in a coda section is separated from the preceding bar, and this indent is also used at the start of new systems.

On a side note, in your screenshot, there’s a small gap between the page margin and the beginning of each staff. If you haven’t set a first system indent in this layout, have you by any chance deleted the instrument name for the percussion kit? You can instead hide staff labels, which is generally easier.

Does this help?

Merci beaucoup, je vais essayer de réaliser cela aujourd’hui.

[111487]

Encore merci pour vos réponses, cela marche plutôt bien. Cependant je trouve ça dommage de voir le mot CODA sortir, alors que je souhaite juste faire des exercices de une mesure. Mais ça me permet de réaliser ce que je souhaitais

If you activate the hide property in the lower panel the CODA sign is hidden.!
