Greetings folks,
I searched the forum and didn’t come up with any directly related hits, so hopefully this hasn’t been covered extensively yet.
In a simple piano score, I have an upper voice (melody) eighth note, and a lower chord (dotted quarter note) happening on beat one in a 6/8 time sig.
The lower chord is G, F, and D, the melody note is the same G as the top note of the chord. [See attachment 1 “Dorico Positioning”]
In Finale, I know how to simply move the note-heads around and super-impose the top melody note with its stem going up, and the chord sharing the same G with stems going down, and I can change the note-head positioning in the chord so the stems will work together up and down.
As you can see in attachment 1, Dorico puts these as separate melody eighth note with stem UP right before the dotted quarter with stem DOWN. If I try to move the melody note to superimpose it on the top note of the chord- then the stems are not right. [See attachment 2 “stem issue”].
I feel like such an idiot. I could easily and quickly do this for years, but can’t for the life of me figure it out here in Dorico. I want to love this program SO MUCH. Please help.
