I’ve working on a piece for Organ, that has lots of writing with 2 voices per staff. There are eight notes that share a quarter note in another voice, and I’d like for them to share the same note-head. Under notation options - voices : there are a few setting, but none of them seem to let the eights and quarters in different voices share the same note. As far as I know in engraving traditions, these filled-in note-heads should share a common head. That option seems to be missing altogether from the settings. The settings show only half and eight notes sharing heads. While that was useful in Beethovens time, that’s not a very common practice in our days afaik.
Is it possible to get Dorico to share these note-heads ?
Dorico automatically allows eighths and quarters to share the same notehead, unless it will produce an ambiguous result. Attach an example (project, not picture) that shows the problem you’re having.
Though you shouldn’t need to, you can also override this using the ‘Voice column index’ property.
Maybe the project is too big to attach. Try setting the playback template to “silent”, or if that doesn’t work delete everything except a few bars that show the problem.
