Hidden dot

2013-11-02 06:15 pm

In this snippet, the dot of the first note is hidden.

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.51,Single)
|TimeSig|Signature:6/8
|Chord|Dur:4th,Dotted,Slur|Pos:-5|Opts:Stem=Up,Slur=Upward|Dur2:Half,Dotted|Pos2:-5
|Note|Dur:4th,Dotted,Slur|Pos:-1|Opts:Slur=Upward
|Bar
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

The score where it comes from allows a bit more space between the notes to show the dot.

By default, I think Noteworthy gets it right, and allows options like these:

Why not doing something for the dots also when the notes are in the space?

That would be at odds with the most commonly used convention.
