Handling voices when writing for piano

New from Finale here. I’ve been working for several hours trying to figure a way to do this in Dorico (this score was until now solely hand-written). I’ve been able do achive something close, but never exactly what I want. For one I can’t have a dotted quarter note on voice 2 without affecting voice 1 which becomes dotted too. Then when I put the accent on the first G top line, it’s duplicated above and under. Same with the indication for double-bass

This is the best I could do in Dorico. Surely there are ways to do it like the hand-written original ?

Welcome to the forum.

You just need to be careful to select only one voice at a time (try selecting stems rather than noteheads)…
