Swap Voices

I’ve found three types of swap voice or swap voice contents in Dorcio.

I’ve found the one that swaps the voice contents of two distinct staves and use it often.

But I’m also looking for a ‘swap’ which will swap the two distinct voices on one stave and cannot find it. What is that called please?

Here is an example:


after this swap I’m expecting :

  • the black voice turned red
  • the red voice turned black
  • tails flipped

The function Swap Voice Contents shown in your screenshot should do what you’re looking for. It swaps the voices of the selected notes inside a staff.

Swap Voice Contents: swaps the notes in two voices, e.g. Up-stem 1 into Down-stem 1 and vice versa. Note that they can be on different staves! The V shortcut only toggles the notes between voices on their current staff.

Swap Voice Order: swaps the horizontal position of two notes, such as if you wanted to switch the order of these two:
