I apologise for newbie question but I did a search (maybe did it wrong) and there might be a fast and easy answer.
Is there a way to generally force the accidentals to show if the altered note is in another voice (like the flat on the Ab that is in up-stem voice)?
I do know how to manually force show accidental, thanks to the forum search here. The issue is that there might be loads of those places. I tried to uncheck “supress cautionary accidentals at the same pitch and octave in other voices…” in notation>accidentals but that did not change the bar in question . Weird, by description it should do just what I need.
I do not know if I am understanding the OP.
Does it mean that it is not possible to force a flat for the second A which is in another voice?
That would be a big deficiency in Dorico…
P.S. I have travelled through the amazingly long cautionary accidental options in Dorico Pro 5, and do not seem to find an answer, not a simple command for “force accidental”.
Thank you very much, that was very helpful.
Then I see that I did not understand the OP and the following answers, from which I inferred it was not posible to force the accidental, which seemed so strange.
The question was about a global option which would allow to show accidentals on a per-voice (rather than per-bar) basis. Quite common in contrapuntal keyboard music for example (cf the thread I was showing in my previous reply)
I am a bit puzzled now.
You asked a question, if Dorico cannot force accidental. The fact that is CAN was already covered in my initial post and I referred to that. You did not ask instructions, it was just question IF it cannot force. Yes it can and therefore I quoted my initial post.
I did not see any call for help. If you expected me to read your thoughts then sorry, I cannot do that.
Alright thanks. For now it has to do.
I already created an unnecessary script for forcing an accidental. This script goes to trash.
Note to self: first check commands. There might be just the perfect one waiting to get shortcut assigned Toggle will be just right.
Santiago, English may not be your native language (nor is it mine), but FYI: I’ve been taught that addressing someone with ‘mister’ alone is very rude, and supposedly not the way to talk to each other on this forum.
Toggle will be just right.
