Default Noteheadset for every new project

Hello Dorico’s team,

I have created a new customized pitched Notehead set.

Is there a way to set this new Noteheadset as the default one for every new project ?

Thank you in advance for your support.

I don’t think so, no. Your best bet is to save a blank file as your “template” file, which is what most of us are doing. At least until proper templates arrive.

Hello Dan,

Thank you for your answer.
I thought also to solve this with a blank file as a template.
But when I tried this, if I input or changed a note, then Dorico wrote it with the Notehead set stored in the Engraving options.
Before having a proper template concept ready, it would be nice if, in these options, we could select one of all Notehead sets available…

If you really want it to be your default for all projects, then you can edit the Default Notehead set, and save that as the default.

You can’t if it’s a pitched set. Different sets of options…

Hello,
I recently tried to set as default my pitched notehead set without success.
So, I suppose that nothing has changed in this area.
Am I right ?

With apologies for distracting from your question, @Eric2000 …

@dan_kreider , now you’ve got me wondering if the “improper templates” have ever arrived…

Hello,

Sorry to reactivate this old topic, but I would like to know if there will be, in “a near future”, a possibility to set my custom pitched notehead set as default notehead set.

In “Engraving options”, there are only 4 notehead design proposed as default.

Thank you for your help.
