I’m having trouble with some G. P. measures in my score and parts. On my score I have a ¼ bar with a quarter rest in it. But, no matter what I do, on the part it shows a whole rest. I have tried forcing the duration; but, it just changes to a whole rest.
I don’t want to disable multi-measure rests for the whole project. There are several areas where multi-measure rests are needed. But, on this bar (and one other) I want a rhythmic rest to show in the score and the parts.
Your score is incorrect; the parts are showing the correct notation.
Yeah that doesn’t help. But, thanks anyway.
Someone may have a better idea, but:
Now that you’ve got it in one part, you can Alt+click it into the others. Make sure to select both the rest and the note.
It’s because of the bar being treated as a bar rest for the purposes of multi-bar rests.
If you add a notation that breaks multi-bar rests, your forced rest should appear.
A chord symbol region will do this; positioning the GP text after the downbeat might do this also.
For the sake of completeness, there’s been a thread about GP markings… The line tool is a great means to achieve this, it’s centered, can be saved as default… Not sure whether it would break multirests though.
Not at computer right now, so off the top of my head:
Pick-up bars generally show actual-value rests, not whole-bar rests. What happens if you enter a TS of ‘1/4,1’, i.e. a ¼ with a ‘pick-up’ of 1 beat? Does Dorico accept that?
1/4,1 doesn’t work (I tried it); but 3/4,1 would.
Thanks for trying. It’s a pity it doesn’t work. Dorico is just too smart…
Sez who?
