Hi !
I am trying to move note head within two lines of the staff, with the position of the top notehead slightly altered between each line. Any idea of how can I archive the top note situation (see imgur photo) in Dorico 3.5?
Can i do this in dorico? - Album on Imgur
Thanks so much for your help !
Welcome to the forum. I can’t think of a way to accomplish this, I’m afraid.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t one, but if there is, it’s not immediately obvious.
Welcome to the forum, Martin. I’m afraid I can’t think of a way to do this, either, because you cannot adjust the vertical position of noteheads, even in Engrave mode.
You could create custom noteheads with varying y-values, like “diamond notehead (+1/8 sp)”, “diamond notehead (+1/4 sp)”, “diamond notehead (-1/8 sp)”, “diamond notehead (-1/4 sp)”. These four noteheads should cover the notes in this image.
EDIT: You actually only need one quarter-space offset note because that’s exactly the midpoint between two adjacent diatonic notes (which are a half-space apart). The magic numbers to plug into the Edit Notehead dialog are:
