how do i notate this bit of figured bass in dorico?
(from dubois traite d’harmonie, marche harmoniques, page 75 bass no. 2)
In my (limited; stopped teaching pre-switch to Dorico) experience, using forum member Dan Kreiger’s excellent “donation-ware” MusAnalysis font is a great way to accomplish this.
i can normally do figured bass. this is a bit complicated. my question is can i do this in dorico figured bass standarts? if so how?
Ygit, I think you might have ticked the Solution tag by mistake…
Complex Figured Bass is possible with Dorico’s own tools, and it is documented - I find it not easy to learn though:
That is why it’s sometimes recommended to use an “outside” font to accomplish more complex notations.
Hi @piyanistyigit55, to write your example, with Dorico’s own functionality you can
-
first write out it like this:
-
To force the 5 to appear write a ! at the beginning of the popover entry:
-
To have the look as in your example, you need to set this Engraving Option:
-
Then you can select the various items, and prolong as necessary with Shift+Option(Alt)+right arrow:
Dorico file example:
complex figured bass 02.dorico (1.6 MB)
Edit:
You can then fine tune the lengths in the properties panel:
