Hi Forum,

I'm sure, I'm not the first one to ask the question,

The standard half note in the Rhythmic Notation Staff-Style looks like the quarter note. Is there a way to make it hollow?

Thanks,
Best,

Go to Document Options > Alternate Notation and change the notehead in the "Music Characters" dropdown menu.
