Hi all, is there a key combination in Dorico 5 to change the name of the notes enharmonically (e.g. C#<->Db)? Thanks

Hi,

Yes, here it is:

[From the manual] Respell the selected notes in any of the following ways:

  • To respell them upwards, press Alt/Opt-= or click Respell Using Note Name Above [image] in the Keyboard panel toolbar.
  • To respell them downwards, press Alt/Opt- - or click Respell Using Note Name Below [image] in the Keyboard panel toolbar.
  • To respell them automatically, choose Write > Respell > Respell Notes Automatically to open the Respell Notes Automatically dialog.

It can be different depending on your keayboard language.

And you can create your own keycommands in the Preferences:

Thanks Charles for your clear instructions that led me to the solution even with Mac and Italian keyboard: for respell using note name above: Option-2; below Option-1.
Thanks again and have a nice day, Fabrizio
