Same notes/ diff timing - layering

Same notes/ diff timing - layering - does not work

15 years ago

When I layer 2 staffs with the same note (i..e 1/2 note on one and 1/4 on other) the resulting "layered" staff shows a single quarter note instead of the note placed twice side by side with diff durations - how do I fix this?

Thanks

Extra Note Spacing
This option can be used to add space to the left side of a note on the staff. If the note includes an accidental, this space will appear after the accidental space, but before the note head. This is most useful when working with one or more layered staves that overlap each other. A note head can be moved to further to the right to avoid a collision with a note in another staff.
