Hello Community,
can someone please help me with this passage or make suggestions:
The piece is in 4/4, at the fermata the piano should play 3 independent “bars” cadenza in a 2/4 meter, the barnumers should not advance.
I tried different approaches with independent 2/4 meter for the piano and a 12:8 tuplet (all hidden) for the 12 eighth notes but could not get the result i needed…
Any help appreciated!
Here you have a snippet of my Dorico file and the manuscript:
I already pre-entered these few bars of music so it’s “just” fiddling around with your magic workaround tricks

Can you not just hide rests on either side (or after) of the forced-duration whole note in a hidden 3/2 or 6/4 bar?
Interesting approach…
But I will also need the barlines and the 2/4 meter, and some space to place it all nicely…
Is there a more native approach, that does not need too much graphical treatment?
As steveparker said, create 2/4 on the piano staves (press Alt-Enter instead of Enter using the popover) and a 3/2 bar for the rest.
If you want the tremolos to play back for the full bar, make a 2:3 tuplet so the whole note fills the whole bar, rather than hiding a rest. (I don’t know why the tuplet bracket stops half way along the 3/2 bar, but you are going to hide it anyway so it doesn’t matter).
Make the fermata in parentheses as text. Copy and paste the characters from the Bravura Text font, here: Browse the glyphs | SMuFL
The attachment is before hiding anything.
You’d also want to add a “bar number change/don’t include” in the second and third 2/4 bars. After those bars use again a 4/4 independent time signature in the piano staves so you can show it there but hide it in the others staves.
Thanks Folks!
You always bring me on new thinking paths!
