Dear Developers,
I found some threads related to this. However, I am posting it again.
There have been many requests to remove unison noteheads, and this is legitimate! However, Dorico should keep the two noteheads in the following specific case, where an intentional double-stop unison is notated:
Not at my computer to check, but can’t you add the interval of a unison to the chord? Shift-I, 1, enter? Alternatively: choose the right voice, type Q for ‘Quord Mode’, then enter another D?
One way to obtain what you want is to convert the double-stop unison into an altered unison. In write mode with condensing turned off, select the first note of the unison, add a flat to it and suppress playback of that note. In engrave mode with condensing turned on, select both notes of the unison, set the Accidental property to Hide and activate the Split stem property:
Thank you for your instructions. I have done it.
However, hiding the accidental of a note is not a global property. The condensed score does not reflect it.
The following screenshot shows what I did and what Dorico did:
No, indeed, some properties are deliberately set up such that they can vary in condensed staves as necessary, and properties for accidentals are among them.
As I said previously, you need to set the Accidental property to Hide and activate the Split stem property while condensing is turned on. You also need to make sure these properties are set in the first cello part.
