Hi – I’ve got a Dorico project with a regular and a guitar tablature staff. I’m trying to get a certain harmonic to display correctly on the tablature staff. It should display the harmonic note on the 6th string at the 4th fret. But Dorico is calculating the fret number as 3.8. That may be correct mathematically, but for practical purposes, I’d rather it show as “4”. Is there a fix or workaround for this?
No, there’s at present no way to tell Dorico to round the harmonic to the nearest whole fret. You could perhaps instead not use a “real” harmonic and instead change the noteheads on the staff notation to diamonds while leaving the notes in tablature at the fourth fret.
Daniel – I just tried your idea. It looks good. Thanks.
