Dehumanising Dorico 5

Hi there, I’m very new to Dorico (like, this weekend!) and I have a question to which I’m sure there must be a simple answer. I want to remove ALL humanisation from playback: I’m after concrete robotic learning tracks that just obey the written rhythms and dynamics. I’ve unchecked Preserve Note Velocities/Positions but my playback still seems to randomly make certain bars or notes quieter or louder, and doesn’t seem to obey written dynamics. I feel I must be missing something obvious - please help!
Thanks!

you need to go into Playback Options in the Library menu. There you’ll see a tab for Dynamics You basically need to untick or set to zero as appropriate all the humanisation options there.

Hope you’re enjoying Dorico and welcome to the forum!

You should also set the humanisation to zero in Playback Options>Timing>note start positions

quite correct — I was just focussing on the dynamics as that seemed to be the main area of concern.

Ah fantastic, thank you!
