Any way to place natural harmonic signs (or any articulation) under a tuplet bracket?

I see that by default, a natural harmonic sign is placed above a tuplet bracket. Is there any way to place it below? The only option I seem to have is to have the tuplet placed below rather than above, but I really would not prefer that. I can’t seem to be able to select the circles even in Engraver Mode. Thanks!

I think the easiest way is to replace an unused articulation under Library→Music Symbols. Here the unstressed. Harmonic under String techniques. No playback, though.

placement of natural harmonics of this type is one spot Dorico needs to address some time in the near future. There really needs to be an option for placement outside/inside slurs and tuplet brackets.

The same goes for Playing Techniques.

Agreed. I was surprised I couldn’t select what is in effect an articulation and move it wherever I wanted. I’ll add that to my wish list along with a handful of other things that have come up in this forum at times. Thanks!

You can move it wherever you want – in Engrave mode.

That’s what I would have thought but those circles were not moving nor did they have any handles to drag them.

It worked for me before I posted my reply. I’m away from my computer now but will confirm later.

Dorico has been oddly wonky today for some reason (notes not going off during playback, which used to happen at times with Finale and would go away with a Note Off command that I’m not seeing in Dorico, and a few other weird things today like Sul Pont creating a small curve above a note rather than an actual sul pont notation in words). Just tried it in Engrave mode again and this time, that harmonic symbol did move. I probably should restart my computer. Thanks! All good then.
