Condensing issue (trills and glss)

I have this passage for flutes

That condenses like this

Several issues:

  • Trill-noetes disapering
  • Trill-notes not stacking
  • Gliss misplaced
  • Gliss absent

Suggestions?

This option[1] should normally allow all auxiliary notes to be displayed. Have you tried?

But it forces a two-voice display, and you’ll end up with two trill indications and two trill lines (you can hide one of them in Engrave Mode if you want).

As for the gliss, I can’t reproduce your issue, neither with glissandi nor with lifts, whether in one voice or two… Could you provide a file?

Sure. Here

Thinking about it there are just to many issues here. I’ll uncondense for this section, even if that brings page vertical space to 106%.

But, looking forward to see if anyone comes with another good solution

Hi @GeirSol, didn’t look yet at your file.

I reconstructed it following the screenshots.

Here a possible solution (manual condensing and flipping some stems+voice index). There is one layout uncontested and one condensed:

Dorico file example:

For the trills, it works with the option I was mentioning (and a bit of tweaking in engrave Mode):

For the lifts, I don’t really understand. It works for example if you change the second note of flute 2:

So, maybe a problem related to the second interval F-G#? It works fine with glissandos.

Thanks both.
Keeping uncondensed for now.
