Title: Doublets
Post by: Allan on 2010-05-07 05:47 AM
Will this item be addressed in the near future and the doublet feature be added onto the toolbar? I ran across doublets in some handwritten manuscripts and tried to find a way to write them. The piece is in 6/8 time. I just stumbled into dotted-eighth, dotted-eighth which covered what I was after. I think someone is going to question the rationale of this, what do I answer?

This is how I do them, but getting the 2 to stay centered is difficult.

Rick, how about this?

fixes the rhythm and aligns better, but it is still too wide. If I used a custom sysfont and mapped the diamond notehead to a narrow blank space glyph, it just might work.
Still a pain. If NWC would allow hidden ties and had an option to center text at next beam/bracket, this would be solved.

One of the sheets, I used duplets.
