Changing how altered unisons appear

You can change how individual altered unisons appear, including within chords containing other altered unisons. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and frame chains.

Prerequisite

You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. Select the altered unison notes whose appearance you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Split stem in the Notes and Rests group.
  3. Activate/Deactivate the corresponding checkbox.

Result

The selected altered unison notes are shown with split stems when the checkbox is activated, and with single stems when the checkbox is deactivated. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

Tip

Split stem applies to individual notes. You can have altered unisons appear differently within the same chord by setting their properties independently.
