Below is a screen capture of rhythmic cues in Finale.
At this point I’m looking for confirmation that Dorico can reproduce the above.
The features shown in the image above are: 1) Rhythm independent of written notes, 2) smaller rhythm notation, 3) floating above the staff, and 4) chord symbols above all.
As I rifle through online documentation, videos, and whatnot - I believe Dorico can recreate the above (fingers crossed).
True?
Yes, that’s possible. You can either display the rhythm from another player using the powerful cueing feature (Shift-U popover), or, if you don’t want to have another player, add a separate up-stem voice with small noteheads and hidden ledger lines.
Note: the second method does not work when it intersects beamed notes in the primary voice.
Even If the cue does not represent another specific player’s part, I still recommend using the dedicated cue feature, since it takes care of vertical placement and ledger line-hiding automatically. In those situations, I typically have another player (hidden in the final score layout) that I call “composite cue source” or “cue source”, which I use specifically for this purpose.
Like this…?
@Janus - recreated on the fly? Impressive! I believe I’ve come to the right place.
FYI - rhythmic notation in Finale was just exhausting to learn and I had to make a deal with the Devil just to get it to work.
You’re right. Actually it’s what I also prefer to do. Also takes care of lyrics for example, if you need to cue a singer’s part.
@silver_mica , you decided to stick around after all? 
You have! Welcome!
