Goodnight everyone. I am currently copying a sheet music and I found this situation. I want to join two notes into a single note in the middle of the measure. I selected the option to do that but nothing happens ( Apply button pressed )
If the Notation Options do not have the desired effect, try Force Duration - select the tied notes, press " U ", " O ", then " 7 ".
" U " unties the two quarter notes, " O " turns on Force Duration, " 7 " sets the value to half note.
Ah, but it should work using the notation options… anyone shed some light on why it didn’t in this case?
Just so I know what to do when it happens to me…
Depending on the time signature, Dorico may or may not allow a note like that to cross the half-bar. Normally it will only allow it to be notated as a single note if it fits the syncopated pattern short-long-short, but Dorico is a bit too strict about what forms a short-long-short pattern: in this case, the two eighth notes before and after the half note would need to be a single quarter instead.
