Types of caesuras
There are different types of caesuras available in Dorico Pro. All caesuras indicate a break in sound, but different types are often needed for different styles of musical scores.

Curved caesura |

![]() Figure: Two diagonal slashes |
![]() Figure: Two thick diagonal slashes |
![]() Figure: Two straight, vertical slashes |

If you intend to communicate a specific length of hold or gap with each type of caesura, we recommend that you consider adding a legend, as different players may interpret these symbols differently.
