I’ve searched all around but can’t find a solution to this:
If I delete the empty measure shown below, the next measure suddenly looses its’ rests. The music was previously imported via MusicXML so that’s probably the problem’s origin. But how to fix it is driving me crazy. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Before deleting:
After deleting:
Check if the Ends Voice property is set with the C# in the first bar selected. Or perhaps since the bar rest you deleted is green, find the last note before this part in the “green” voice and check the Ends Voice property.

Thanks very much jesele, that fixed the problem. How did you know to check the C#? I had looked at the Ends Voice property but didn’t think to check the last note.
Thanks again.

Ah, right…got it. Thanks!
I think you use too many different voices. Normally, one up and one downstem voice in each stave is enough. You use v to switch voice and shift-V to create a new voice. So if you use Shift-V every time you get a lot of voices. Then again, maybe it’s from the XML-import.

Alas, the number of voices is a challenge because it’s a pipe organ piece. There are midi channels assigned to voices according to which manual is being used on standard three staffs. The organ uses an external midi system connected to a real live pipe organ. I’ve tried playback techniques with expression maps, etc. but it gets way too complicated.
The XML import adds all kinds of issues that I’ve managed to correct. The End voice setting caught me…

Ah, I see. Ignore my comment then. Just that many users use Shift-V everytime to switch voice instead of v.

This fascinates me. I compose for organ and use Hauptwerk as my VST. It works best when I have a grand staff assigned for each manual, a custom single staff system for pedal and another custom single staff for sending CC values for piston changes and the like. This works like a charm because each manual has a separate channel assignment.
I a curious about how the multiple voices work to control the organ. A pipe organ with MIDI would have the same interface capabilities as Hauptwerk. How do you use the multiple voices, please? I’m always eager to learn new ways of doing things.
I don’t know anything about HW or VST for that matter, as my whole setup, as I mentioned, is connect directly to a real pipe organ. I change the organ’s registration using a simple C3 ‘C’ for “next” general piston and C# for previous all using channel five. I change all stops, couplers, etc. in this matter. This is a custom arrangement with the company that sold me the relay - SSOS.
So, in a fugue, for example, with say the first entrance on the swell (channel 1) it might be an alto voice (stem down). Then comes the next entrance of the subject in the soprano (stem up) on the great (channel 2). All in all, there can be four (or even more) voices per manual - two up, two down, i.e. soprano - stem up, alto - stem down, tenor - stem up, and bass - stem down. Each voice on each manual is assigned the manual’s channel. I have only two manuals on my house organ (II/23) so it’s a little bit under control with Swell as channel one, and the Great as channel two Three or even four manuals would be quite a challenge. Hope this helps…As I learn Dorico more I may change to play techniques and expression maps, but for now this seems to be working.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like a nice setup.
