Stemlet beams and notehead size

[ehitonandakedone]

This image is the sheet music of one of my own compositions created in Finale, but it encapsulates everything I’d like to do in Dorico but haven’t yet found a way to do.

1. Change the clef mid-measure.
2. Delete or hide a notehead and place a rest symbol in its place.
3. Change the size of just the notehead.
   There are many more, but for now I’d like to know how to do these three things urgently.
   Could someone please teach me?

Hi @ehitonandakedone, and welcome to the Forum.

1. Select an item where you want to change the clef, and insert a new clef using the panel on the right or the popover Shift+C
2. (Just delete the note where you want the rest), and look for Stemlet Beams in the Manual
3. Select the note, and in the Properties panel, set the desired Scale.

Change the size of just the notehead.

@Christian_R

Select the note, and in the Properties panel, set the desired Scale

Although it looks like these should be entered as grace notes, which will automatically have that size.

@asherber

these should be entered as grace notes

Probably @ehitonandakedone was referring to this:

[asherber]

Ah, okay, didn’t see those. I thought it was the grace notes in the 5/8 bar top staff.

I understand where to change the specifications, but where do I change whether or not to apply stem in the first place?

Are you searching for this in Notation Options?

[ehitonandakedone]

Thank you very much !! I can move forward.

[ehitonandakedone]

Sorry for asking such basic questions. Where can I set the beam to always be horizontal regardless of the pitch of the notes it contains? I can’t find it in the beams engrave options…

[benwiggy]

You would need to configure the Beam angle options, so that there is never a slant. I suppose set every slant distance to zero spaces.

[ehitonandakedone]

I did it! thank you very much.

[ehitonandakedone]

How can I create an accel. like this, or the opposite ral.? The top beam can already be made horizontal. The widths of a and b are also different. I want a to be a little narrower than usual. I want the second and third beams from the top to completely overlap at the starting position.

Thank you very much. I try.

[ehitonandakedone]

For example, if I add a 32nd note to four 16th notes to make three beams, does that mean it will be treated as a quadruplet of 32nd notes on one beat? If so, I have to change the tuplet settings in that section so that the numbers aren’t written, right?

[jesele]

The fanned beams don’t change any durations. You can have fanned beams with 3 lines (32:nds) on eight notes or sixteen notes, and they are still just eight notes or sixteen notes.

[ehitonandakedone]

I understood.

[ehitonandakedone]

I completely understand the method you have suggested, but I would like to start with two beams and end with three beams, as in the first image I attached. If there is only one beam at the beginning, it seems like the performer might put too much tenuto on the first note. Is there a way to achieve the shape I want?
