Creating crossed voicings
Often, for example in vocal scoring, you will have crossed
voicings on one system. You can of course move notes
manually into voices to get the stem direction and other
note properties right, but there’s a quicker way. Let’s ex-
plain how to do this by example. Without using polyphonic
voicing, you have entered this:
1. Open the Score Settings–Staff page and select the
Polyphonic tab.
2. From the Staff Mode pop-up menu, select Polyphonic.
3. Activate voice 1 and 2 only, and make settings for
them as in the picture below.
4. Click Apply.
The staff is in Polyphonic staff mode, but all notes are still in the same
voice.
5. Pull down the Scores menu and select “Explode” from
the Functions submenu.
6. In the dialog that appears, select the “To Polyphonic
Voices” option and activate “Lines To Tracks”.
Leave the other options off.
7. Click OK.
The notes have now been split in two “lines”, each in a separate voice.
However, from the middle of the bar, notes that are in voice 1 should be
in voice 2 and vice versa.
