24 TET on Dorico for iPad

[Lily_Green]

I bought the one-time purchase for Dorico for iPad, and there were no other options for purchase. All I’ve seen is that tonality options are ‘pro only’ but as I said I purchased the only available subscription for iPad specifically. It’s a little infuriating that I can do so much with Dorico but I can’t change the tuning system for microtonal music. My lifetime purchase of Dorico on Windows is the same option as far as what features are available, and I can change the tonality of pieces on my PC. But if I try and open those projects on my iPad it just crashes. I’m away from home a lot so being able to work on Dorico projects on my iPad is really important for me. I just want to try and figure out why and see if something can be either explained/updated so that I can work on my projects with Dorico.

Hi Lily, and welcome to the forum. Here is Daniel’s response about this from earlier this year:

Microtonal and Tonality Systems on iPad Dorico

Welcome to the forum, Fadil, and thanks for your feedback. Dorico for iPad has broadly the same feature set as the desktop Dorico SE when you use it without a subscription or the Lifetime Unlock in-app purchase, and broadly the same feature set as Dorico Elements when you have a subscription or the Lifetime Unlock. At the present time, Dorico Pro is the only version of the software that provides support for custom tonality systems. However, I am sympathetic to the view that using extended tona…

Also microtonal playback is not possible with the sounds for iPad. See this thread:

Microtonality

In order to support microtonal playback in Dorico for iPad, we would need to implement microtonal playback via MIDI pitch bend. This is certainly something we may do in future for both Dorico on the desktop and on the iPad, but it’s not imminent.
