Restoring a "lost" bar line in an 8-beat 4/4 bar

[dascott]

At some point either during editing, or possibly in the original importing of my MIDI data, one bar of my composition was elided. There are supposed to be five bars of 4/4 starting at bar 93, followed by a 3/4 at bar 98:

The special red tag is telling me something, and clearly there are too many beats in the piano part - but the important questions is: How do I add in another bar line in the middle of that mess? Is there a way to tell Dorico to split a bar? Other ideas? Help much appreciated!

The special red tag

(These are called Signposts)

Try navigating to the rhythmic position that you want the 3/4 to be at and then re-enter the time signature. That should fix it. You will probably also need to delete the following 3/4 time signature to the right of your screenshot.

Just select the barline with the red signpost and hit delete. (This will remove it and allow the previous 4/4 to apply up to the 3/4)
