I follow all the steps shown in the dorico video but my chord symbols are not realizing in dorico 5. Does dorico 5 have this feature?
Yep, it does.
Have you made sure that your Player has chord symbols switched on in Setup mode?
Feel free to upload a bar or two of your project and someone can check your settings.
Maybe I am misunderstanding realizing chord symbols. In Musescore you realize chord symbols that you already have written on the score, such as c7, and Musescore will spell out the notes for you. In Dorico 5 I am trying to do the same thing. I have already written the chord symbols on score and now I want the notes spelled out. Can Dorico element 5 do this or do you need Dorico Professional 5 to spell out the notes? When I select my chords the drop down menu only shows me “generate chord symbols from selection.” Nothing about generate the notes from chord symbols. NVM. I found out that dorico elements 5 does not have this feature.
Ahh I understand now. I’m not familiar with this feature, sorry.
I cannot force my Pro version to open Elements at the moment, but if realizing chords from symbols is possible in Elements, be sure to select the measures (and instrument) where you want the chords to realize before applying the command.
This article suggests you should be able to do what you want in Elements.
EDIT: Just got into Elements, and like @rst44e , I do not see the option in the Edit > Notations > Chord Symbols… menu.
