Concerning audiograms attachments to notation

Dorico

Hello everyone and many best wishes and blessings for the 2026 new year.

This post concerns itself with attaching an audio file to the flow as well as being able to observe its audiogram alongside the notations, enabling thus the possibility to graphically view audio occurrences along side the notation and placing notations in synch with the audiogram.
At this time - as far as I’m aware - it’s only possible to attach a video file to the project, but for thouse of us who are into the combination of acoustic music and electronic music ( that is - having a live performance against an audio file of synthesized or concrete sounds ) - an audiogram and an audio file attachments to the project will be a great help t.m.o.. Also - as it is today - in order to attach an external music file to the project one will have to creat a video file 1st ( perhaps by using softwares like videopad which are free for non comercial use ) but this is different from having an audiogram attachment that could be viewed along side the music notation - thus prsenting graphically audio apparatus in music time so that one could easily sync music time and texture to the wave file audio occurances events .
I hope that it’ll be possible to view an audiogram notations alongside the music notations - which are actually appearing in the score graphically -for the sack of syncing rythmical and musical text to an external audio content.
Thank you. :blush:.

It would be great if, when the Development Team adds an audio import capability, Dorico could generate a graphical representation to help visual sync with the sound.

In the mean time, I know one professional user (too long ago for me to find the link) created import videos by playing back the sound (in Cubase for example) while making a video capture of the time code counter, which allowed him to see the counter while the imported sound played in Dorico.

:joy:

I have just quickly created a video clip and have used the “show playhead when stopped” option in preferences and then directing the carrot to its stopped position, but I believe that presenting graphically the audiogram as an extra player to other players in the score itself - will enable them to understand and relate their parts musically wise.

Thanks very much for your comment.
