Playing technique? Name and how to notate in Dorico

Hello.
Can someone help me indentify what is on the picture and how to notate it in Dorico. It is notated in bass clef in a piano grand staff. Thank You.

It’s a tremolo. You will find it under the Repeats panel. (Because it’s repeating two notes!)

You will find settings to configure the exact style in Engraving Options.

Thank you. :slight_smile:

I can’t figure out how to notate the values shown on the picture.

Did you see my follow-up? You’ll need to set the style in Engraving Options to “All lines join stems”.

I’ve done that but that didn’t change a thing in the notation. I don’t know which notevalue to start with?

Start with 2 dotted quarter notes

(Off the top of my head, not able to check RN:) It may be necessary to force the durations to actually display two dotted quarters first. It doesn’t work with tied notes, which often appear by default in a regular ¾ metre, depending on your settings.

This same question gets asked several times every year.
I took a survey of threads last April and found over 30.
