Hi everyone,
How could I create a glissando like the one shown in the attached image?
The glissando starts from a note that has what looks like an open 32nd-note flag (or three diagonal slashes) attached to the stem, before the wavy glissando line begins. I’m not sure what the correct name for this notation.
Is there a native way to create this in Dorico, or would it require a workaround with custom symbols, lines, or hidden grace notes?
Thanks!
Hi,
Here is a way to achieve that:
Enter two 32nd notes in upstem voice 1:
Enter a B (unison) in downstem voice 1, dotted half:
if they don’t overlap (like in the screenshot above) select the dotted half in Engrave mode, and set the Voice column index to 0[1]:
In Engrave Mode, select the second 32nd note, and hide the notehead, the stem and the ledger line:
Create the gliss, and remove the rests (Edit > Remove rests):
There’s also a notation Option for that:
Within Properties, I suppose. The better way, no ?
To move the note, you mean? In Engrave Mode > Note Spacing. Click the square (the beat’s position) then the circle (the note’s position), then Alt/Opt+Arrow. It will move only this note.
Yes, I’m aware of that.
But I prefer to use the spacing setting in the properties (see screenshot) because it displays a precise value. In fact, it was you who showed me this setting.
Ah yes, you’re right. Voice Column X offset is the equivalent of the circle I was refering to!
