Hi! I am very new to Dorico and am in the process of navigating the learning curve. I am transcribing this Brahms sonata and would like these bar rests to be hidden during the cue in the first four bars of the solo part.
I was able to work out that I can select “omit bar rests in cues” from the notation options dialogue but for some reason this fails to get rid of the rests in the first two bars.
I thought I might also be able to use the “hide rests around cue” property but for some reason this does absolutely nothing. I tried other things as well like simply removing the rests from the edit window or changing their transparency to 0, but I cannot get these things to work only locally (so as not to remove the rests in the score). Let me know what I’m doing wrong!!!
There’s a Notation Option for that:
And welcome to the forum @joeweinberg!

yep! That’s what I was trying to say in my original post, when I tried that, I ended up with the second screenshot for some reason…
Sorry, I read your post too quickly!
Hide rests around cue doesn’t concern bar-rests, so that’s expected that it doesn’t have any effect in your case.
But I don’t understand why the Notation Option doesn’t work on your end (even worse: works for some bars but not for some others…)
Could you share a cut-down version of your file here?
OK, I can reproduce something looking like your screenshot.
What happens if you go to the full score, select the first two bar rests in the cello (?) staff, and press Delete?
(If for some reason the bar-rests are explicit — i.e. they’ve been manually entered —, they’ll still appear in the cue even with the above mentionned option.)
Or even easier, select them directly in the cue and press Delete.

I was just about to upload an excerpted file when I saw this response and this totally worked! Thank you so much! What a treat to have such a proficient and welcoming community of users to help me learn this new software, much appreciated!
