Question, is there any way to change the default way of inputing notes with the computer keyboard?
I come from using sibelius for over 3 years and it’s hard for me to learn a new way of inputting notes, what i would with to do is to set my numaric keypad the same way it is set in sibelius ( 6 is a whole note & 5 is a half note Etc.)
If anyone could be helpful i’d really appreciate it!!
Dorico has a way to define/re-define shortcut key-combinations and some have used this capability to align their duration shortcuts with those of Sibelius or Finale. Others figure it’s just as easy to become accustomed to the Dorico system.
Dorico’s ‘numbers for notes’ are used in other situations, such as Tempo popovers, where you can’t change their definitions, so I would suggest that you stick with the original Dorico scheme. I came from Finale, where 5 was a quarter, 6 a minim, etc, but it didn’t take long to adapt to Dorico. (And initially there was a time when I was working in both.)
The human brain is the most programmable computer there is!
If you can force yourself to use the top row numbers then a) you’ll be able to do note input quickly on a smaller laptop (or any Apple laptop) and b) you won’t forget your Sibelius numbers. I used Sibelius for 18 years and nailed the Dorico shortcuts in a couple of weeks, so you have no excuse
But you missed a sales opportunity:
The OP could buy a StreamDeck (right?) and use the Dorico template to enter in Dorico and the SIbelius template for that program.
I see that i could add some key commands, but this is usually by pressing Shift + the Key or Command + the key.
How could i easily match the way inputting notes are mapped out in sibelius?
