Changing the stacking rule for accidentals in dense chords

You can change the accidental stacking rule used for all dense chords project-wide.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, choose Engrave > Engraving Options.

    The Engraving Options dialog opens.

  2. Click Accidentals in the page list.
  3. In the Stacking section, choose one of the following options for Arrangement for dense chords with many accidentals:

    • Use lattice arrangement

    • Use zig-zag arrangement

  4. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

The arrangement of accidentals in dense chords is changed project-wide.

Note

The lattice arrangement is wider and uses more columns than the default zig-zag arrangement that is used in Dorico for dense chords.
