My only question is to the experts is that, if someone has the routine, is this page easy to manage in Dorico? Or should I give up hoping that every challenge of the page has an easy key to solve?
Not extremely difficult (maybe). You have to use local time signatures.
The biggest problem is the spacing. Don’t remove rests. Set the color opacity to zero instead and try to put the repeat barlines at even places so you don’t end up with a lot of small rests.

Just tried a little and it is tricky with the open time signatures. Where to get system breaks etc… Might be easier to do like you do in Finale or Sibelius using 4/4 with hidden bar lines.
Sorry for ugly example
It might be easier to use a line instead of the repeats. With a start and end cap
with the repeat glyphs. (and a blank line) Then you can skip the local time signatures.
Here’s a short bit of a piece done that way
You mean a musglyph and moving it to the right position??? What a great idea!!!
Not exactly, I’ll send you a file the the repeat lines I’ve made.
If it the line you meant?
Jesper
I meant repeat sign. Really appreciate if you send what you said.
I made similar with Finale 2 years ago and it went quite well. I want to figure out how does it work here:)
They are made as a line (with inside staff placement), which means they attach to the right place automatically. You might need small horizontal adjustments in Engrave mode.
At the top of the Lines panel, you can set them so they attach to barlines.
You should be able to import them with the Library Manager or click the star icon at the bottom left in the Lines editor with my lines selected.

One with wings and one without.

Will try it tonight! Many thanks anyway!!!
Thanks for your great help, Jesele! I managed the transcription of the song. Used for the repeats MusGlyphs, and missed only the wings, but I’m sure composer will be so impressed that, he won’t care about this small detail. Many thanks for your support again!!!
