Dan,
I have forgotten how to turn an already written voice into another. For
example, I have written a couple of bars and suddenly decide, that this
should become voice two.
Thanks
Claudio

The method described in the last post will only work if you only need to
input one note into a different voice. The recommended method for entering
notes into a specific voice is this:
1. Navigate to the place where you want to start inputting notes.
2. Press the letter N (for November).
3. Hold down the alt key and press the number of the voice that you want to
enter notes into.
4. Enter notes in the normal way.
So, to create a passage where a whole note is held by the thumb whilst the
outer fingers play shorter notes, you would do the following:
1. Navigate to where the shorter notes begin.
2. Press the letter N.
3. Press Alt+1.
4. Input the shorter notes in the usual way.
5. Navigate to where the whole note begins.
6. Press the letter N.
7. Press Alt+2.
8. Input the whole note in the usual way.
This may seem more complicated than the other method but there are two
extremely important points to make.
1. This method allows you to enter more than one note into the lower voice.
2. This 8 step method is in fact the same 4 step method repeated twice.
Compare steps 1-4 with steps 5-8 and you'll see this.
One last point. It is extremely important that you press N to start note
input before pressing Alt+2. If you don't, you will move a voice 1 note into
voice 2.

Dear HF,
here is a message that someone posted a little while ago on writing
different note durations to be played together.
As you may already know, you can have four voices on each staff, so here is
what the message said.
Hello, it seams, that you want to write a second voice in one bar. If I
understood you right, then do the following:
1. write the whole note
2, select it and press alt + 2 (this will move the note to voice too.) 3.
After that press alt + shift + up arrow, so that you get back to the first
voice 4. Now you can write the shorter notes.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
JPR

How do you close the about dialog box? Conventional ways aren't working.
If I wanted to input a piano piece, I'm assuming that staff b is left hand
and A is right hand. Not sure that's right but I'll go with that for now
since that's not my actual question. How can I have the left hand play
different valued notes. Example would be a whole note with four quarter
notes together.
