I'm wondering if there's a better way of notating doubled notes, as in the 4th full bar of this example:

Hi folks.......
I'm wondering if there's a better way of notating doubled notes, as in the 4th full bar of this example:
With the added dots, it gets pretty messy, though I could change it rhythmically to a dotted quarter tied to a half note.

The blue B is in a different layer. Enter it in Layer 1 and the dots on the Bs will consolidate - that's all you really need. Hint: enter an A and drag or up arrow it to the B line.
