I just upgraded to Cubase 14 (from 13), and I am immersing myself into the new wonderful Score Editor: it feels like I am dreaming!: so nicely implemented: the Dorico score look and settings merged with the Cubase style functionalities. Just Wow!!! A truly incredible achievement!! And a Dorico Project export function is there too!
I am so happy about this milestone, like a child at Christmas (and I am very curious and excited to see how this new approach will further develop).

OK, now I have to pinch myself again :smiley:

A big Thank You to the Dorico and Cubase Teams to have made this a reality!!! :pray:

Here the separate Online Manual for the Score Editor (in case anyone is interested)

Congratulations to Stefan and everyone on the team for producing the new score editor. I upgraded for this reason alone and it was worth every penny.

I have a number of tracks I recorded with a wind synth that need sheet music for some real brass players. I was never proficient enough with the old editor to make them readable, so had been planning to write them from scratch with Dorico.

The very first track - a trumpet part in a soul song, recorded with no quantizing - I just clicked on the track and opened the score editor and a beautiful part appeared, perfectly playable instantly, with phrasing and staccato all in the correct place. This is going to save me hours of work! Thank you all.

Fantastic Paul, that’s exactly what we were aiming for.

As a Dorico user I’m also loving the look and feel of the score editor - so much cleaner and more useful.

Couple of things -

  • how do I set or move the playhead within the score editor? The green line. Must be simple but can’t figure it out.
  • It seems like the the close key command doesn’t work on score editor

Thanks for the great work!

I’ve read that, for now, you need to select a note and press ‘L’ on the keyboard to ‘locate’ the cursor there…

EDIT:- and evidently the old way of Shift/Opt-Click to locate the cursor, is coming back in an update…
Very impressed with Score Editor but how can I…? - Cubase - Steinberg Forums

also works by selecting other objects too, such as barlines… have not tested other objects

Sounds great. I think for the first time in a while I will update right away.

Do you know if, when the Score Editor in Cubase recognises staccato and you export to Dorico, it will play what is set in the expression map for staccato?

Yes, as the staccato property is set in the note, and Dorico will interpret that according to the expression map.

Oh GREAT!!! I hope the next Dorico update will take the implementation even further and allows to export to Cubase… will it? :grin::roll_eyes:

We don’t know what the timescale for this will be yet, but we do know it’s very important for many users.

Great. Meanwhile it works great to export MIDI.

I like to write music using Mayus + N and then you click the letter of the notes, or the length (based on numbers). Can you achieve something similar in Cubase 14? I tried to use it a bit but as the commands seem to be mapped different, it was not as smooth as Dorico is. (Dorico is very laptop-friendly and portable)

I like to write music in Dorico a lot and I would love to write music inside cubase like I write it in Dorico, as Cubase has many advantages.

Of course, If I could link the project in Cubase and Dorico, I would write first in Dorico and then go to Cubase, knowing I can go back and the files would be updated as I edit them (I know this is not a feature yet, but who knows, maybe in Dorico 6 is planned something similar).

To sum up, can you replicate the workflow in Dorico inside Cubase?
