Shared noteheads

• Feb 16, 2014 - 10:52

Is there a possibility to make two voices with different durations share one notehead? As a workaround, I change the notehead positions by [Shift-x] and hide the first one afterwards. Works, but the resulting stem looks suboptimal (see the screenshot attached; the stem seems a little too far left and a little too long.)

I have the feeling that this really is nothing more than a workaround, since the notehead is not really shared, but while one notehead is hidden, the other is left roughly at the end of the hidden notehead's stem. Is there already a good solution for this problem (such as merging two notes; I haven't seen any such thing yet in MuseScore)?

I know that this kind of notation (the eighth note having/sharing the notehead of a minim) is a little strange, but it is quite common in guitar literature at least...

Thanks for your reply!
