The Sibelius Forum

Hello all,

I'm trying to get one stem up and one stem down on the double grace notes in the passage as in the attachment. However, if I try to change the lower note to voice 2, the higher note also changes together to voice 2, which makes both stems going down.

How can I achieve this look?

Thanks for your help and best wishes,
Gabriel

Sibelius should manage this, although it would help to know which version you are using.

I managed it by creating the passage in 2 voices (do the top line, press [shift]3, select passage, [ctrl][alt]2, [alt]2) then adding the grace notes to each note in the correct voice. Changing the last grouping to all voice 1 ([alt]1) changes the bottom grace note back to voice 1, but if you then select it and press [alt]2 to turn it back to voice 2 then it will do so. The issue you will then have is that the grace notes will be out of alignment. To line them up select he bar and IN THIS ORDER press [ctrl][shift]p, [ctrl][shift]n.

Thanks Mike, this seems to be working now, with the two shortcuts you mentioned about the alignment. Thanks!
