Note groupings in 3/4

Hi,

I’m notating a jazz waltz where I’d like 𝅘𝅥. 𝅘𝅥. bars (there are a lot of those) to be notated like that (two dotted quarter notes) instead of having the second note split into two tied notes. I can’t find this option in the notation options. Am I missing something, or is this not possible?

(I can think of a workaround using hidden 6/8 time signature changes for those bars, but that would get a bit messy.)

I don’t think there is a notation option for that. If you don’t want to use hidden time signatures you’d have to use Force Duration. There’s an option in the Preferences to make Force Duration sticky so you only have to activate it once per session.
