Unable to engrave this

Dorico

Is this possible in Dorico with or without a workaround:

Mozart K 311
Mozart K 311407×187 20.4 KB

Yes. Notate the chords on the LH staff, select the top notes and hit N. If the semiquavers change direction, just select and Flip them. (You might need to adjust the voice column to keep the alignment)

Thanks, Janus. That is what I had done, but it gives me either A or B; nothing usable in between:

Mozart K 311 A
Mozart K 311 A309×187 17.5 KB

Mozart K 311 B
Mozart K 311 B309×187 14 KB

This is what I get (no adjustments needed)…

OK - for some obscure reason you want downstem semis. I’m sure there’s a way, but my brain is dead tonight.

There are two options here. They both involve adjusting/changing the column indexes. Dorico changes them when the cross-staff command is applied.

Hi @John_Ruggero!

  1. Select both chords of the left hand in write mode
  2. switch to engrave mode
  3. activate the voice column index property without changing anything
  4. now you can move the beams freely

No idea why it works but it does! :slight_smile:

Brilliant! I wish I could give you both solution credit. Sorry Michele. My faith in Dorico has been restored.
