Can't fit the notes in the bar! 2008-05-30 03:49 pm I have had a sudden mental blockage!In a single bar I have two notes with downward facing staffs, both minims (half notes). There are also three notes with upward facing staffs. a dotted minim and two quavers (eighth notes) Can I insert these and preserve the correct bar length without using layering? I don't want to use a single layered staff in a 9 page score! Tony Quote Selected
Re: Can't fit the notes in the bar! Reply #1 – 2008-05-30 04:47 pm This is one way. You have to enter the rest chord with a small offset and then edit it in notepad to make the offset bigger.Quote!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)|Clef|Type:Treble|TimeSig|Signature:AllaBreve|Chord|Dur:Half|Pos:-3|Opts:Stem=Down|Dur2:Half,Dotted|Pos2:-1|RestChord|Dur:4th|Opts:Stem=Up,ArticulationsOnStem,VertOffset=2000|Dur2:Half|Pos2:-3|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End Quote Selected

Re: Can't fit the notes in the bar! Reply #3 – 2008-05-31 12:25 pm Thanks Peter. That's really useful when only a few bars require unusual tricky insertions of a second voice and (as Tony says) you don't want a long layered staff. It surprises me that it also plays back correctly. The dotted minim ignores the crotchet rest in the rest-chord and continues to sound for its full value. I suppose this has been discussed before in the forum but I must have missed it.Bill. Quote Selected
