Multiple notes with different lengths in one staff 2004-05-04 03:00 pm How do I notate a measure in 6/8 time in the right hand of a piano part so that the top notes are 1/8, 1/8, 1.8 and the bottom notes are dotted 1/8, 1/16, 1/8? CTRL-INS only works on the first note. When I try to insert the 1/16th note, it only will go in as a new beat. Thanks Quote Selected
Re: Multiple notes with different lengths in one staff Reply #1 – 2004-05-04 08:00 pm The short answer is , you can't. But you have three work-rounds:Split the middle 1/8th into tied 1/16ths and chord the lower 1/16th with the second one.Chord the middle 1/8th with a 1/16th rest and tippex(white) it out.Use layeringNone of these is ideal. The first is notationally incorrect, or at least non-standard. The second is a pain and downright ugly. The third is a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but is the official NWC method! Quote Selected
