Towards stems in condensation

Hello everyone,

I would like the stems of the voices, in the condensation of a SATB quartet, to appear separate and not a single stem that unites the 2 voices.

“Example

in the attached screenshot”

Thank you

In Notation Options > Condensing, try this option:

I tried as you told me but it doesn’t work. Tenor and Bass always group me with a single stem.

Ciao @ruggierobotta,
actually I tried the suggestion by @asherber here above, and it works. Being Notation Options flow specific, are you sure that you selected the desired flow, on the right panel of the dialogue? Can you post your Dorico file, to see why it doesn’t work on your file?

Alternatively you can use a Condensing Change:

Hi @Christian_R ,

I did it thanks.

I don’t know why but in another separate project the procedure that listed me @asherber worked directly for me.

I don’t know why it didn’t work in the previous project.

Thanks for the answers
