Скачать или смотреть Aleatoric Boxes in Dorico 3.5

For certain musical effects, the best notation practice is to simply draw a box around some notes and tell the performer to improvise. Unfortunately, this style of notation is not always "built-in" to your scoring software. So it's time for everyone's favourite word: "workaround!" Join me as we figure out the best ways to do this in Dorico 3.5.



TL;DR for experienced users: you fake the box with two custom lines. EZPZ, I know. Somehow this took me 20 minutes to explain. I'm verbose.

Timestamps!
3:48 - The easy (but really, really bad) way
8:45 - The best way
15:07 - The boxes are easy to copy/paste!
16:25 - Hiding rests
19:59 - Don't forget to save your boxes/lines so you can use them in other projects!

Here's where I found one of the images, and it's a great guide for Finale users:
