Dotted Note Discrepancies 2010-04-04 03:11 pm Blessed Easter, everyone!I've been plagued with dissimilarities in the appearance of dotted notes between layered and non-layered staves.Example 1: "Without Layering" - notes entered twice at each position per staff.Example 2: "With Layering" - notes entered once at each position per staff, staves layered.Why two dots on the "lined" notes in Example 1??Shouldn't each example look like Example 2?Thanks,D E Baumann Quote Selected
