Isolating percussion instrument for roll notation?

[davidmglasgow]

Hi smart people!

(And thanks for your patience as I continue to navigate the wonderful world of Dorico with 30 years’ worth of Finale brain maps!)

I’d like to notate a roll on the snare in this drum set part, but adding a tremolo notation to the snare note puts it on the same stem as the kick and hi-hat noteheads, which (at least to my eye) looks a little unclear. I’ve tried moving the snare notehead to a different “voice” on the staff, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect.

How do folx usually make this sort of thing happen in Dorico?

Thanks in advance!

Try right-clicking with the snare note selected, and do Percussion->change voice->Extra up-stem voice.

Perhaps better to edit the percussion kit so that the snare is always up-stem, and the feet down-stem.

AHA! I was looking in the “Voices” menu. (Hadn’t noticed the “Percussion” menu.) Thanks so much for not one but TWO dang-near-immediate solutions, @jesele!

Note my edit about changing the percussion kit instead. Might have other implications, though. Then this Notation Option is needed.

Yup! I caught (and very much appreciated) that! Always love insights into the deliciously robust inner workings of Dorico prefs and settings! Thanks again!

De nada.
