Once again, cautionary time signature in a condensed score at the end of a flow

I read these threads and tried everything.

Cautionaries at the ends of flows (trick to display)

Alright gang: YMMV, but I just discovered something completely by accident. If you have a coda in a different key, and then delete the coda, you’re left with a cautionary key signature at the end of the flow. This hack may come in handy in certain situations (I can imagine using this to indicate a cautionary for a da capo repeat after a trio, for instance). I know we normally want to hide cautionaries, but sometimes you need to force them to show too. This is obviously not supported / intend…

Cautionary time signature at the end of a flow?

I would love to see options for individual overrides between flows: to show cautionary accidentals to show cautionary time signatures to add “attacca” (which also plays back in that way) an override, where you can adjust the length of the pause between two flows. But I’m quite sure, that this is already “on the very long list” …

Yes these are possible tweaks to show a cautionary key signature at the end of a flow even in a condensed score. But the procedures hide any time signature regardless of any property settings like Ends Voice and Force Position and Duration. Also hiding the rests in one of the suggestions is not possible in a condensed score not even by scaling them.

As far I’m aware of the only way to show a cautionary time signature at the end of a flow in a condensed score is a cutaway start (in Dorico 6).

But there is a flaw: Even with the minimum width (a quaver pickup) there is a gap between the cutaway start and the right margin and it’s impossible to shorten it in Engrave Mode.

I guess it takes a serious effort to implement real cautionary time and key signtures at the end of a flow but I’d be satisfied if the cautionary time signature doesn’t get hidden with the system track trick.

Is this what you’re looking for?

The last measure of the flow has the time signature 3/4,1. The right barline of this measure is hidden by setting Notation Options > Barlines > Automatic barline at end of flow to No barline. Each flute has a quarter note in this measure with its stem and notehead hidden in engrave mode. Finally, the width of this measure is reduced in note spacing mode.

(In my defense, this is a two year old post, and a lot of water has flown under the bridge since then.)

@johnkprice Hiding notes (rather than rests) is pretty brillant, thank you very much.

@Romanos

In my defense…

There is no offense, so no defense is needed
