Copy custom expression map switch to another instrument in same VST player?

[thinkingMusic.ca]

Other than creating the same custom expression map switch from scratch, is there a quick way of copying a custom expression map base switch that has been created for, e.g., HSO violin solo, to another HSO instrument – e.g., HSO viola solo?

Thanks!

No, at the moment the expression map editor in Dorico doesn’t provide a means of copying and pasting switches between different maps.

I believe @Eggsalad’s stand-alone and Mac only expression map editor might have this functionality. You can read more about that here:

Announcing: Dorico Expression Map Editor 1.0!

I’m happy to announce the release of Dorico Expression Map Editor 1.0! Thanks to those who helped test it! It’s a standalone app which facilitates editing Dorico expression maps, especially larger ones, and works by importing and exporting Dorico libraries. Here are the key features: Filter and sort switches Cut, copy, and paste actions Cut, copy, and paste conditions Automatically add multiple switches with technique combinations Edit multiple switches more robustly Convert switch and action…

Dorico Expression Map Editor might help some with this. It allows cutting and pasting of actions and conditions (and text), and clipboard data persists when you close/import expression maps. So you can cut and paste between maps.

Currently though, it allows only one expression map open at a time, and it doesn’t allow cutting and pasting of switches as a whole. Future versions will expand these features.

Thanks, Eggsalad! I had just checked out your Dorico Expression Map Editor 1.0 webpage, and saw that it’s so far only for Mac. Sounds like a great app! Unfortunately, I’m on PC. . .

Ah yes, hopefully someday…
