Changing the consolidation of rhythm dots

You can change how rhythm dots in multiple voices are consolidated at individual rhythmic positions. For example, if you want to show fewer rhythm dots for a very dense chord. 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. In Engrave mode, select the notes whose rhythm dot consolidation you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Rhythm dot consolidation in the Notes and Rests group.
  3. Activate/Deactivate the corresponding checkbox.

Result

Rhythm dots for notes of any duration are consolidated when the checkbox is activated, and no rhythm dots are consolidated 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.

Example

Figure 1. Notes of any duration have rhythm dots consolidated
Figure 2. No rhythm dot consolidation
