Ok, this might provoke some argument because “8vb” is not acceptable common practice for proper notation (and Dorico it seems won’t play fair with diversity in practice).
Nonetheless, using “8vb” IS common practice in jazz notation, at least in North America. So is there a hack to achieve this? I suppose one could create something in Playing Techniques that solves the question on a per-file basis, but maybe a system-wide solution is possible so it only has to be setup once.
Oops, posted without testing. I guess there isn’t actually an Engraving Option, but it’s simple to redefine 8ba to be 8vb in Edit Music Symbols. Click the Save as Default star and you’ll never have to do it again.
Ok, but I can’t find the window you’re on in this screenshot. Somewhere in the Library menu obviously.
Here’s a link to the relevant manual entry (found with search phrase editing music symbols):
Ok by trial and error I successfully navigated to the window you posted, thank you. I can get 8vb as an option but I haven’t a clue how to put it into the file. everything I’ve tried was a fail.
BTW thanks for a link to a Steinberg help file, but 99% of attempts to get into Steinberg.help don’t work on my Mac. Something I’m going to bitch about soon.
I think other posts have discussed issues with Safari on Mac.
Which, FWIW, is all I use, without any trouble.
So do I. None problem, never.
I’m on Windows, so I can’t say. But I believe I’ve seen several posts describing this.
Wouh : Daniel said :
I am a little afraid because I have to stay on Monterey.
I do hope Dorico 6 will run on this version of Mac OS, otherwise…
Is that because you have a Mac earlier than 2017?
I don’t. That’s because I have some professional softwares that doesn’t accept anything beyond Monterey.
If the makers haven’t updated their software in 4 years, it doesn’t sound very professional.
Which isn’t very professional, especially, are these publishers make sure that their product only works on the latest OS, sometimes forcing you to buy a new computer. So much for consumerism!
A fallacy of two alternatives: publishers can configure software to work on successive operating systems without abandoning backward capability.
Professional software companies generally work to keep up with OS progress.
