Building a Complex Chord
I cannot see any way to create a chord-like note structure that includes, for example, a half note (c) and a quarter note (g).
When I attempt to do so the new type of note gets added to the score, however it changes the existing note to the same type of note I have just added.
Does anyone know a way around this??
Thanks
Brent.

If you are confused I have included a picture of something similar to what I was trying to achieve..

Yes, that is indeed exactly what multiple voices are.
But for the record, if you truly wanted a single chord with noteheads of different tyopes (this is *not* the case here, but sounded at first like it might be), you can use the Inspector in 2.0 or Note Properties in 1.3 to change the head type of individual note heads. It would still necessarily have only a single durationwhen it came to playback, but on very rare occasions, this might be something useful. Again though, in your example here, this is *not* a single complex chord; it is two distinct chords in two distinct voices.

Dear Sir:
Ty for your instructional videos. What he's talking about is far from unusual but extremely common in certain types of rock arpeggiated chord music on a clean or electric acoustic with a distorted second guitar sound. My question is this:
Can you basically turn the note input area into a "grid" that's quantized, insert say 32nd note into a grid broken into 64th notes then alter the duration of the arpeggiated chords such that the individual chord notes ring out over one another?
