General Discussion / Noteworthy 2 "optional notes"
Long time user, first time poster.

I am writing a piece for brass quartet. In this piece there are some notes that I would prefer to have played in the upper octave, but I want to indicate an optional note an octave below. These "optional notes" are typically indicated by putting the note head in parentheses. Here is what I did:

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)

|Chord|Dur:Half,Dotted|Pos:-3,4|Opts:Crescendo
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End


Although this works, I'm wondering if there is a better (less clumsy) way to do it. Any suggestions?
