Hiding/Showing padding rests before/after slash regions

You can hide/show padding rests before/after slash regions that start partway through bars individually, for example, if you have other notes at those positions and the rests would be misleading.

By default, Dorico Pro automatically shows implicit padding rests around slash regions that start/end partway through bars, so that the full duration of each bar is clear.

1. Select any part of each slash region whose padding rests you want to hide/show.
2. In the Properties panel, activate the following properties, individually or together, in the Slash Regions group:

   • Hide rests before start

   • Hide rests after end

Result

Padding rests are hidden on the corresponding side of the selected slash regions. For example, activating both properties hides padding rests both before and after the selected slash regions.
