19. Select everything in bar 33 then press R twice to repeat it in bars 34 and 35.
20.
Select everything in bars 33-35 then choose Edit > Remove Rests.
● A quick way of selecting everything in bars 33-35 is to click on the bottom staff in bar 33,
but not on the notes, then Shift -click on the top staff in bar 35, also not on the notes.
RESULT
You have input the notes and chords required for bars 33-35 and removed the rests. Removing
rests was necessary here because the chords will behave as if they were in a down-stem voice
when you cross them to the top staff. When cross-staff music only involves a single voice,
removing rests is not necessary:
Dorico hides them as required automatically.
Crossing notes to the other staff
In Dorico, you can achieve cross-staff beams for phrases that span multiple staves by inputting
all the notes on one staff and then crossing some to the other. In the previous task, you input the
notes so now you can cross them.
PROCEDURE
1.
In bar 35, select the A♮ at the top of the chord on beat 3.
