Hello… I’m trying to recreate the passage below… I’m sure my issues of not knowing what to do here are a combination of unfamiliarity with harmonics generally (I’m a hobbiest drummer… and failed piano student).
Can anyone offer some guidance to guide my understanding, and help me get Dorico to do what this is showing?
I think the original notation is confusing things here. My guess is that those notes are actually an octave higher than written, because based on the tab those are more likely to be natural (rather than artificial) harmonics. Even so one of those notes isn’t quite right. I’ve attached what I think is the right notation.

On looking at this a bit more I can see there’s what looks like a tapping pattern written out between the staves. If that really is tapping, and those fret numbers are the fretted positions for artificial harmonics rather than touch points for natural harmonics as I first thought, then I’m not sure how that matches up with the pitches on the notation staff. My best guess would be something like this.

I never mastered tapping techniques though, so I’m not sure that’s right!
