Dorico 5 does not allow one to add vertical lines to rests, or graces. Why would you want to do this you ask? It’s very useful for putting for example manual indications in organ music. You don’t always want to be forced to put it up against the very first note if there are some rests ahead.
This sort of thing (where I can hang the line off the bottom note.]
But you cant do that where there are initial rests in both hands.
With hidden notes, it seems to work (but it requires resetting rests to position 0, so overall, it takes a few steps…).
Or use a notehead set with rest-noteheads.

Thanks chaps. I know the workarounds. Tedious. I would like to see the vertical line functionality extended just ever so little to cover the case I mentioned. I cannot see any musical objection to it.
Worth saying I can move them just fine in Engrave mode, and the spacing seems to nicely snuggle to accommodate, but again, tedious.
