No: I'm not swapping voice CONTENTS, but Voice ORDER, which does indeed swap the voice column index on each note.

This is, as far as I can tell, Dorico's default. There is a Notation Options for Unisons, but not for seconds. It's a moment's work to fix it (Swap Voice Order), but it would be great not to have to do it at all. I realise there are complications with things like F# vs F natural; or G in the lower v...

I've just written an article about using Dorico to prepare editions of Early Music. This is essentially an 'update' to previous articles, incorporating the new features that have been added since then. https://www.scoringnotes.com/tutorials/adventures-in-early-music-with-dorico-volume-2/ I've also c...
