select a note from a two-voice unison notehead

Dear Doricorians,

How could we select a note (only upper voice or lower one) from a two-voice unison notehead?

Example 1:


In this case, I do as follows:

  • to select the upper voice, I select “g” by mouse click then move the selection by pressing the right arrow.
  • to select the lower voice, I select “e-flat” by mouse click then move the selection by pressing the right arrow.

Example 2:


In this case, I do as follows:

  • to select the upper voice on the second staff, I select the note on the first staff by mouse click then move the selection by pressing the down arrow.
  • to select the lower voice on the second staff, I select the note on the third staff by mouse click then move the selection by pressing the up arrow.

However, how can we select only a voice from the following?

Is it possible?

You simply click on the stem.

Ah, thanks a lot!

I also use some personal shortcuts to filter upper voices (alt-cmd-v) or downstem voices (ctrl-cmd-v)

This is also a great method! Thanks!
