Hi Synthplayer, thanks for your feedback, and welcome to the forum!
Look at the symbol palette, last section for Text items, click on the Chord Symbol button. Then click in the score where you want to add the Chord Symbol. You’ll then see a little popover, which you can use to enter the chord as a text string. The syntax is identical to how Dorico deals with them.
We are considering adding that at some point in future. For now, it would be interesting to see exactly why you would need it. For hiding staves, look at the Layout Options, Vertical Spacing section.
It would be interesting to see specific examples where the default score doesn’t suit your needs. Make sure you’re in page mode and have set your desired page and stpace size accordingly.
There will be cases where the automatic placement isn’t ideal. I’m not certain to what extent we might offer manual engraving tools in the Cubase Score Editor. You can however just export a Dorico file, and do any fine engraving work there (even just in the free Dorico SE version).
We’ll certainly bring that back. You can select events, and press L though.
Instrument Settings, “Voices” does allow you to define the voices on each staff. It doesn’t allow you to hide staves though. For that, I’ll refer you back to the Layout Option, Vertical Spacing, Multi-Staff checkbox,
Indeed, it doesn’t change notes on purpose. We may look at adding an option for this in future.
You’re right, that’s an area that needs some improvement.
Lots of potential to improve in that area too
We’ll add support for guitar bend symbols in an upcoming patch release. Not sure yet how that should interact with midi pitch bend, an interesting aspect to explore.
I encourage you to take a look at the trial version. Let us know how you get on if you choose to give it a go.
