Swapping the order of voices

[Raymond_O_Donnell]

Hi all,

There’s probably something simple here that I’m missing… In the example attached below, I’d like to swap the order of the first notes in the two stems-up voices, so that the dotted minim appears inside the two quavers. Is that possible? I’m on Dorico 6.

I found Notation options → Voices → Ordering multiple voices, but the options there seem to apply only to voices with stems in opposing directions; they didn’t do what I wanted anyway (I did try!). I also tried faking it by entering one of the upper voices as a stems-down voice and flipping the stem direction; but Dorico wasn’t fooled!

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Use “Swap Voice Order” in the Voices submenu (right-click, or Edit > Notations).

Or change the “Voice column index” for each notehead in Properties panel.

Brilliant! I knew it had to be something simple!

Thank you very much.
