Splitting brackets on chords

You can split brackets on any notehead within a chord. By default, Dorico Elements automatically shows a single bracket for all notes in a chord unless it contains very large gaps, in which case Dorico Elements automatically splits brackets.

Procedure

  1. Select the individual notes in chords immediately above where you want to split brackets.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Break bracket in the Bracketed Noteheads group.

Result

Brackets are split immediately below the selected notes.
