Hi,
Dorico (3.5) is driving me crazy, looking for some help. I know this must be super easy but I can’t make it work! I manage to make the first tie (see picture) but the second tie just doesn’t happen. I’m trying the procedure as mentioned here: Forcing the duration of notes/rests .
Have a look in Write > Notation Options > Note Grouping, there might be a default option that produces this notation for every instance of a note that long starting on the 3rd beat in a 4/4 bar.
I am also a newbie. I have Dorico 3.5 (free). I use Windows 10 and I am VERY frustrated with getting unwanted tied notes e.g. in 4/4 time I enter a quartet note followed by an 1/8 note and then input another 1/4 note, this shows as two tied 1/8 notes. I want this to show as a 1/4 note. How on earth do I do this. Thanks, Brian JH
The reason you’re seeing this is because it would be notational best practice to display the midpoint of the bar. Dorico is trying to help you. If you really want it to show this way, turn on Force Duration first (O) while in note input mode.
Very many thanks! I will certainly do this. I had been using Musescore but wanted to upgrade to a better system. Dorico seems to offer many benefits. BrianJH
