Hello,
When I write 2 voices with a dotter note, I have 2 dots, one for each, like you see in the attached.
Is it possible to have juste one dot ?
Thanks for your answers.

Not in Allegro, I'm afraid. The full Finale has a "dot mover" special tool, though. You might try entering one of the layers as a quarter note with a hidden eight rest.

And BTW, you can use layers 1 and 2 there, as well as in the upper staff. You don't need to go into 3 and 4.

Thanks Miker ! it's a good idea to put a hidden rest, I didn't know this possibility.
