Hi.
In the first screenshot you can see that at Bar 29 I have two four bar rests I would like to know why this happens and how to change it to an 8 Bar rest.
In one of the other parts you can see that at Letter B we do get an 8 bar rest.
Is it some thing to do with signpost for a time signature of 4/4? All the piece is in 4/4 so I wonder why Dorico inserts these signposts at certain places. I tried to delete this particular one at Bar 32 but it would not delete
Many thanks.
These happen sometimes when you change a barline from the default, just select the signpost and delete it, all should be well…
P
And if that doesn’t work, try selecting the barline itself and hitting delete. Quite often these signposts show up because someone has added a non-standard barline (such as a repeat barline) then replaced it with a “normal” barline. A normal barline is still different from a default barline, so will show a signpost and split multibar rests. The correct approach for deleting a non-standard barline is to select it and hit delete/backspace.
Hi piano leo.
Deleting the barline did it. I was surprised that I could do that.
I learn something new everyday about this fantastic programme.
Many thanks to everyone for your help.
Take Care
