OtakuSempai Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Does anybody know if you can do this in Sibelius? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYS65 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 yes, you have 4 voices, Blue (1), Green (2), Orange (3), Purple (4) write one voice, then click 2 on keypad and write 2nd voice, click 3 and write 3rd voice etc. it should look like this: To change beam up or down, select note and click X 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtakuSempai Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Thank you very much SYS65, that worked. But now all notes in the chord are aligned as vertically as possible by Sibelius, sometimes making them collide. Does anyody know how to make more horizontal space between the voices (as Bach did) so they don't collide like in the picture? Also, any ideas on how I can connect the two staves with a dotted line?

SYS65 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 In Properties -> General, you have your Show settings with X/Y values to move each note, but yes, individual beams means individual voices in not only a matter of visual aspect, your example image is not a correct notation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtakuSempai Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Many thanks! I need to write these examples for a research paper on Bach's solo violin music, so I'm only trying to follow the edition I have as closely as possible; as we know, Bach insisted on having separate stems for all the notes in a chord. For this purpose it's correct, even if it's an outdated practice. If anybody knows how to connect staves with doted barlines, please let me know.
