Glissando lines across empty bars
In Dorico Elements, you can input glissando lines between any two notes, even if there are rests
or other notes between them, and including between notes in different voices and notes on
different staves.
For very long glissando lines that extend across multiple bars, you might not want to show
pitches at the start of each bar, for example, to indicate that performers do not emphasize
pitches during the course of the glissando, or that performers can play the glissando at their own
speed. By default, Dorico Elements shows notes or rests in every bar.
Once you have input a glissando line between the selected notes, you can hide/show any implicit
rests between them.
NOTE
If there are any explicit rests between the notes at each end of the glissando line, you must rst
turn them into implicit rests.
EXAMPLE
A glissando line across multiple bars with no rests shown between the two notes
