Mid-system manual condensing change

Dorico

Dear forum,

How do I make a mid-system manual condensing change take effect from the beginning of the system? This change is supposed to divide staves instead of amalgamating, but it only take effect in the next system when placed in the middle of a system. I want this behavior so that if I have to reflow the bars the change is correctly moved without unneccesary staves being added before the critical point.

I might be wrong, but I don’t think you can. From the manual:
“Dorico Pro considers a sequence of notes between rests as a single phrase. However, rests that are spanned by slurs, gradual dynamics, playing techniques with duration, and similar items do not break phrases. Condensing can only change within phrases where they span system/frame breaks.”
