I have a chord (A9) in a piano part.
The right hand plays G B C# E (from the bottom up), and the left hand plays octave A's.
The octave A's are aligned with the B in the right-hand chord instead of the G C# and E.
Is there some way to align the chord the right way that I'm missing?
Also, if I need to use accidentals on this chord (because the key signature is two flats), the accidentals read E natural, C sharp, B natural (from left to right) instead of C sharp, B natural, E natural.
Is there some way to rearrange the order of the accidentals so that they look like the "real" piano part?
Any help would be appreciated.
Greetings -
I can't help with the accidentals ordering, but lining up the left hand (bass clef) notes with the right hand (treble clef) is easy. Just highlight (select) the A's in the bass clef, right click with the mouse, and select properties from the pop-up menu (or just select the notes and hit CTRL-E on the keyboard). Then, make sure you are looking at the tabbed labled "Notes", and you should see a field for extra note spacing. Select a value of "1" (one), click "OK", and the A's should line up with the chord above it.
Hope this helps,
John
Hey, that works pretty well. The chords are aligned as they should be -
but now they take up extra space.
There are some systems which had five measures in them, but now have four.
And the space between the barline and the first chord is rather large.
And there is a space between the accidentals and the notes, say, if I had to put naturals on the A's.
Anyone else please?
