Re: Drone
How about just one, tied, {double-whole note} in each measure, regardless of the time signature?
Would that layout work for you?
You can use the Tuplet Tool to create each {whole measure note} as a {nothing displaying} tuplet.

Re: notation help - notes alternating hands
Welcome to the forum! 1) Notation with alternating stems is easy to do with layers. The secret is that you should not hide the “in between” rests, but rather move the rests vertically down below the bottom of the page. In that way the rests will not print, even if they are not hidden. Instructions: ...

Oh dear. What a mess! It is not clear to me what layout you need - since the layout is differing a lot during the document: 1) Your rhythm notation - and the measure numbers - are suddenly smaller from System 4 and onwards. This is because the “Rhythm Staff” is resized from System 4 and onwards. I r...
