Attached is an image showing a bar of notes in 4/4 time. I want to add beamed eighth notes D, E at beat number 3 so that the D note is directly below the G quarter note. Everything I’ve tried either changes the quarter note or doesn’t result in eighth notes where I want them. I appreciate any help you can provide to solve my problem.
Hi,
- Select the G and press enter to invoque the Caret
- From the write menu (shortcut shift+V) create a new voice
- Enter the notes you want
- If you do not want to see the rest in the new voice, just select them and from the edit menu choose “Remove rests”
rafaelv’s advice is spot on. But I just wanted to mention that technically you don’t have to select each rest. You can also just select the measure by clicking on the staff and then “Remove Rests”.
