Two dots one note 2010-06-30 08:07 pm Two dotted half notes in a cord on the same note, one with stem up and one with stem down appear with two dots (like a colon) rather than one. Quote Selected
Re: Two dots one note Reply #1 – 2010-07-01 10:00 am They don't do that for me. What version of Noteworthy are you using? Quote Selected
Re: Two dots one note Reply #2 – 2010-07-01 10:46 am If the notes are on a line then that is the correct notation; if in a space then you get a single dot in the same space. Quote Selected
Re: Two dots one note Reply #3 – 2010-07-01 01:10 pm I am using version 2.1. The notes are on a line. So how can it be fixed? Quote Selected

So how can it be fixed?Why do you want it fixed when it's the correct notation?In multi-part writing, if the upper voice is dotted then the dot is placed in the higher space (if necessary) and the lower voice dot appears in the lower space. NW actually implemented this properly for the first time in a recent release, so please don't knock it! Quote Selected

Re: Two dots one note Reply #8 – 2010-07-01 11:52 pm I think Peter is right: if the two overlayed unison notes are on a line, two dots (one in the space above, the other in the space below) are correct. So there is nothing to fix here.Doing a little research on this problem, by the way, I ran across a complaint in the Finale user's forum that Finale doesn't display two dots in this situation - along with a couple of suggestions on how to make two dots show. You just can't please everybody. ;-)Bill Quote Selected
