Hello, I have a small issue. I would like to insert a fret value by pressing Shift+P, then [fret 1; 2; 3; …]. But I can’t manage to do it in my projects—I can’t even see it in the guitar playing techniques. In the example project (See See Rider) provided by DORICO, I can access it, but not in my projects (see photo).

Welcome to the forum, @vangeenhovenmartin!
These are not default playing techniques that ship with Dorico; they were added to that “See See Rider” file. You can create your own similar playing techniques, or you can use the Library Manager to copy them from the “See See Rider” project.
In your own project, open the Library Manager. In the upper right, click “Dorico Project” and navigate to the See See Rider project file. Click Differences in the middle of the dialog, then select Playing Techniques in the lower left panel. Under “Some options differ” on the right, scroll all the way down until you see the fret playing techniques. (Because they start with a lowercase letter, they appear after all of the playing techniques with uppercase letters.)
Next to each playing technique should be a red ≠ sign. Click each one so that it turns to a green arrow.
Then click Apply and Close. The playing techniques should now appear in your project.
In the Playing Techniques dialog, if you select each one of these fret techniques and click the star Save as Default button, they will be saved in your user library and will show up in all new projects.
Thank you very much, it helps a lot! I have one more question now that I have that.
I figured out that before, I didn’t have [fret1, fret2, fret3] in the Playing Techniques dialogue box (Shift + P). And now that i did what you told me I have it.
Could you tell me how I can create/add them to the dialogue?
Thank you very much for taking the time to help me!
You said that you now have the fret playing techniques available. Are you asking how to create new playing techniques?
Thank you for your answer. No, that wasn’t my question, but thanks to the link you sent me, I was able to solve my problem.
