Cubase 15 SCORE EDITOR

Making this post to highlight a few features I relied on in previous versions of Cubase’s Score Editor that seem to be missing or changed:

  1. There doesn’t appear to be a way to manually control the number of bars per system. Four bars per line is usually fine, but occasionally I’ll have a six-bar phrase and want that reflected visually in the layout.

  2. Markers no longer automatically insert double barlines. That was a powerful and important feature in my workflow.

  3. When selecting a key signature, the name (e.g., “D major”) is no longer displayed. Thankfully I know it’s two sharps, but having the name visible made quick selection much easier.

  4. Tempo changes from the master tempo track are now displayed in the score, and I couldn’t find a way to hide them without altering the actual tempo map.

In short, I had to revert to Cubase 13 to finish my project.

Overall, I’m glad to see a version of Dorico inside Cubase 15—but these essentials need refinement for it to fit my workflow.

Hopefully the right people see this. Cheers!
