Rhythmic cues showing up in middle of staff?

I know I used to use cues from rhythmic notation and the cues used to show up above the staff in the part receiving the cues. Now, however, the cues seem to show up in the middle of the staff, as pictured. Did something change in Dorico, or am I doing something wrong?

You might have to tick the Rhytmic cue in the lower panel.

Just to clarify, @orensr: you want to create Rhythmic Cues, yes? Are you talking about the rhythm only of pitched-instrument parts or strictly cues of unpitched percussion parts?

In this case I’m taking the cues from the rhythms of a pitched instrument that I have showing as rhythmic slashes.

Thanks - tried that, but the cues still show in the middle of the staff.

Add to @jesele’s suggestion a negative distance offset in the Properties Panel and you should be able to get something workable:

It turns out the answer here was not to turn the cueing instrument’s part into a slash voice, and then to set the cue to display as rhythmic notation with slashes in the properties panel.

Glad you found a solution.
Glad you shared it, too.

Yeah, your way was the old workaround… It does still work, but you have to only change the noteheads into slashes, not make an actual slash voice!
