Double stems without voices

Hi!
Is it now possible to create double stems easily, without having to use two voices with the same note, having to delete rests, etc.?

Thanks!

Don’t think so.

Not meaning to be snarky… isn’t the point of double stems to indicate multiple voices? Perhaps you have a special case…. :wink:

For drummers, there are many situations where this is necessary, and you know very well that drummers are special people!!!

You could create a notehead set with a stem.

Absolutely! Thanks for clarifying!:grin:

Easiest just to add a voice. Two hands, two voices. It doesn’t have to be the voice already associated with BD of Pedal HH.

Thanks Jesper, a possible workaround :wink:

You don’t really need to delete rests etc. It should be enough to go to the bottom panel and activate Ends Voice.
