In Dorico Pro, I can transpose notes by alt + up or alt + down after selecting them
However, when I do this, all the accidental information (sharp, flat etc) disappear
Thus, I found that tranposing of notes in Dorico is not satisfactory (not convenient)
In cakewalk 9.0, long times ago, I could transpose notes by semitone
and also, in that case, accidental information could be preserved
So, in Dorico Pro, can I tranpose notes per semitone and preserve accidentals ?
For example, if I tranpose two notes (F# - G) one semitone up,
notes will become G - G#
if I tranpose them three semitones down,
they will become D# - E
I wrote that little answer because I really don’t think alt-arrow is not recommended! It’s simply not the same tool. Sometimes you need to move notes diatonically, sometimes chromatically. Use the appropriate tool, that’s all I’m saying.
Just to expand a little further – Shift-Alt/Opt-arrow transposition is by octave division, which in the default 12-EDO tonality system is indeed chromatic, but in 24-EDO would be by quarter tone.
Thanks to your help, now I found tonal system panel in Dorico, where I can choose 24-EDO system etc
I also found there are several links about this topic in our forum and support site.
I will search and study this topic as you advise
Microtonic system is so interesting to me
I want to study and test quarter tonic system, which I have some interest in
So thank you again and have a nice weekend, Lillie
See you again
