Can you add an accidental to an ornament and have it play in playback?

• May 27, 2018 - 13:46

Hello! While working on my transcription of BWV 1052 (Bach's Harpsichord Concerto in D Minor), I came upon this figure:

In the original piece, it is quite clear that the prall up goes between D and Eb. However, in MuseScore's playback, it goes between D and E. As you'd imagine, this throws the chord structure off big time. After playing with it for 15 minutes, I found nothing. MuseScore does allow accidentals on ornaments by using Master Palette -> Symbols, but that doesn't affect playback. Is there any way that I can fix this? Thanks!

At time only with a workaround: write out the notes of the prall in a second voice and select it invisible, deselect play for voice 1.

Thank you for both of your suggestions! However, I think I prefer the original suggestion the best. Putting all the movement in Voice 2 really helps for fine tuning things (pardon the pun). That method grants more freedom than the fixed style of the ornament by default. Here are two examples from the piece:

Doing this allows a closer fit to not only the recording I'm listening off of, but is also closer to what Bach probably intended. Thanks for your time!
