Rhythm dot vertical placement

I have a client who wants the rhythm dot on the note highlighted to fall slightly above the note, rather than just below it:

I assume it’s this way because it’s in the second voice. Is there a way to override it?

The dot position actually depends on the stem direction.
Here is a workaround:

  • Select the F and press F:

  • Hide the stem in Engrave Mode:

  • Enter the same F (half note undotted) in a new downstem voice:

  • Tweak the voice column index so the two F’s overlap (maybe they will overlap automatically depending on your notation options):

  • Remove the rest:

No easy way, not currently. There are situations where adjusting the dot would be useful, but I don’t think that this is one of them.

Thank you

Yes it’s not something I would pursue, but you know what it’s like when you’re working for someone else :wink:
