As the music continues on the next page and bars - fanned beams logic graphic descriptive is being interrupted and the software starts a new fanned beams apparatus which is not descriptive of the music, is there an elegant way to sort this out? using graphic lines gives a very ugly solution… For example - is it possible to control each of the beam lines in sense of separation etc. or hide them and place new lines? I didn’t find a way to hide the beams…
Thanks very much to you all.
“The U.F.O.s Did It” , as Nina Hagen have said.. God bless her soul.
I wished a more elegant solution would be available.
In Engrave mode, are there any edit handles with which the ends of the beams can be dragged left/right?
Hello Steven and thank you for your interest and reply.
Part of the issues with fanned beams was discussed and solved by MarcLarcher in this thread :
Where the issue was how to connect a regular 1/8 note to a fanned beam.
Here what I did was something close to insanity… to achieve what I wanted without having the software forcing me to split the fanned beam over to the next system…
All is evolved in techniques mentioned in the thread I have attached but basically - I had to reconstruct everything in its entirety , suppressing playback from the notes I had to use for graphic representation of the way I wanted fanned beams to look like, and hiding the beams of the notes I wanted to be sound where placed… , It is difficult enough to bring Dorico to have a fanned beam sound like one…
So basically I copied and pasted notes into a new voice and to the lower stave ( for clarity ), suppressing their playback, hiding stems and building up the entire construction with lines… of course I had to give them proper weight.. than I had to set the copied intervals in the new voice to span and cover exactly over the old voice ( the one that needs to be played and heard ) hiding the fanned beams stems and rebuilding up the entire fanned beams stems construction.. I had to hide altogether some “graphic” ( the last 3 ) intervals that if were to be used and pushed to the stave above (n) - would break the fanned beam over to the next system.. .
