Default how to enter 6 notes with four of them forming two pairs in guitar

Hi,
I am trying to enter a chord for a classical piece. I am utterly stumbled as the software doesn't seem to allow me. Counting from top down, 1st note is E on 1st string fret 12. What follow is the tricky bit as far as using the software. Second note is B on 2nd string playing open string. Third note is G on 3rd string playing open string. Fourth note is B on 4th string fret 9. Fifth note is G on 5th string fret 10. Lastly, sixth note is E on 6th string playing open string. Anyone has any idea or the software does not allow it? Your help is much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,

From a purely technical standpoint in using Notation Composer (and a professed ignorance for guitar sheet music convention), if you want to enter all those notes on one staff at the same time point, you'd need to have the "duplicate" note pitches entered in two voices (to read more about voices, see Help/Users Guide, and use the Index to look up "voice").

So, for instance, you could enter the first three strings' notes using Upper Voice, and the last three strings' notes using lower. This will give the two duplicate note pitches (B and G) two stems, up and down.

Is this what you're looking for?

ttfn,
Sherry
