Title: Dotted eighh notes with different stems
Post by: Gilbert on 2011-11-14 04:27 pm

In the latest version of NWC2 (Version 2.1) dotted eighth notes with different stems (on different staffs) are not dotted the same way on several notes (not all): the distance between the dot and the notehead is not equal. This leads to wrong presentations of the music: sometimes dotted notes are shown as double dotted allthough they are not!
See the example in the attachement (if I can send one).

What Rick explains in his examples is:

When the default stem length is used, flag and dot can compete for the same spot and therefor the flag pushes the dot to the right.
When using a different (longer) stem length, the flag and the dot don't have to compete and the dot can be put on its default location.
