Selecting dotted notes doesn't include the dots

When selecting the three dotted notes in the screenshot below, only the dot in the highest voice is selected. Then when changing the value of these notes to 1/4 the two lower notes (second down stem voice) are notated as two eighths tied together. I want them all to be notated as 1/4 notes.

I’ve checked the notation options to see if there’s some setting I need to change but couldn’t find one.

I can reproduce the rhythm dot for the downstem voice not appearing to be selected (they don’t turn orange), but I can’t reproduce the different notation between voices when I change the note value. They either all end up as tied eighths, or when I use force duration, they all end up as a quarter note.

Did you try change them all at once, or one voice at a time?

As for Notation options, it’s hard to tell because your screenshot doesn’t really show anything (time signature, position of the notes within the bar, etc.). A larger screenshot or a cut down version of the project would help.

I’ve tried both ways.

And does it help to select all notes, activate Force Duration (letter O) and then changing them to a quarter note?

Thanks, Zalde!

Force duration worked. :slightly_smiling_face:
