Stems for interlocking voices confusion

Re the below screenshot: I’m trying to get the A notehead in the green voice to be to the right of the G in the blue voice:


But even though I have “stem to stem” selected in the Voices section of Notation Options, it’s not changing (see below). What am I missing?

Thanks!

It might be voice column

Thanks—that did the trick! However I’m left wondering why, given my selected notation option, Dorico didn’t default to stem-to-stem spacing between the voices…

Could you upload the file (or part of it) so we can see your settings?

What happens if you beam them, perhaps add a few more notes just to see what happens? (then undo to carry on your input!) :slight_smile:

Hi Janus and Arco—thanks for your replies. Having solved the problem for now, I haven’t had the chance to go back and troubleshoot it. I will when I get a chance, though—thanks!

If you just want to swap the position of the two notes, use Swap Voice Order in the Voices menu.

(That’s my shortcut.)
