Glissando lines across empty bars
In Dorico SE, 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 SE shows notes or rests in every bar.
Once you have input a glissando line between the selected notes, you can delete any rests
between them.
