Splitting brackets on chords - Dorico Elements - 6.1

You can split brackets on any notehead within a chord. By default, Dorico Elements automatically shows a single bracket for all notes in a chord unless it contains very large gaps, in which case Dorico Elements automatically splits brackets.

Prerequisite

• The lower zone is shown.

• Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

• If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Procedure

1. Select the individual notes in chords immediately above where you want to split brackets. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
2. In the Properties panel, activate Break bracket in the Bracketed Noteheads group.

Result

Brackets are split immediately below the selected notes.
