I have a harp grand staff, notes on both staves with some notes on the bottom staff on the same stem as the top staff (moved to bottom staff with M), with a fermata. By default, it looks like this:
I selected the fermata, and in the properties panel told it to only do one per staff, and now it looks like this:
I’d like to flip the bottom fermata so it doesn’t collide with the cross-staff stem, but all instructions on this say to select just one fermata and then press F to flip it. The problem is, there’s no way to select just one fermata here; both fermatas on the grand staff become selected no matter what:
I can just move the notes back up, but I’m trying to hew closely to the original manuscript here:
Engraving options, fermatas. There are options on how many fermatas you want per staff. To flip a fermata, go to Engrave mode, select the one fermata and you should be able to flip it. Do that before you do the cross-staff (M or N).
Just in case it helps: for this kind of situation, you can create a fermata as a playing technique (useful if you need to use it often, and you can create a shortcut):
That might be worth it if there weren’t 28 other players I’d then have to put a fake fermata in for. Grand staff solo instrument, though, definitely something for my back pocket.
