Polyphonic writing

2008-11-02 12:39 am

L. S.!

In Noteworthy I have been using polyphonic writing in the past.
I know the manner of writing e. g. 4 voices by means of "layering".
That makes it possible to write 4 voices separated and also to write a 4 part keyboard
(e. g. piano) score.
In the attachment I tried to give an example of another way of making a -here 3 part-piano score (very simplified, because some signs are missing; here also the middle part stems are meant partly upward), but I hope the meaning is clear.
I remember there was another way to make polyphonic writing possible.
That manner, however, I cannot find anymore in the help file.
Maybe some of the "Noteworthy family" people proves to be able to let shine his light upon this item.
Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Mazzltov.

Perhaps you are referring to creating chords?

Place a note, then move the cursor up or down to the next note and place it with a <Ctrl-Enter>

See below:-
