MM - A note cluster tool please!!
Quite a lot of contemporary music uses clusters.
Pardon me, but there already _is_ a "note cluster tool"; it's part of
the "special tools" palette. My copy of 2k7 is in transit, so I can't
say for certain how to access the tool there, but in 2k6, it is reached by
Tools > Advanced Tools > Special Tools > Custom Stem
In use, if one is creating a eighth note cluster, one enters the tones
of the cluster as a chord, uses the notehead positioning tool to move
the individual noteheads to the desired position, and uses the custom
stem tool which invokes the shape designer to create the custom stem. I
haven't used it for beamed notes, so can't yet comment on how well it
works there.
