We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of another maintenance update for Dorico 5, bringing it to version 5.1.20. This is a free update for all Dorico Pro 5, Dorico Elements 5, and Dorico SE 5 users. A corresponding update to Dorico for iPad is also available via the App Store on your device.
This update includes more than 30 bug fixes, and a few modest engraving improvements concerning note spacing for ties, hairpins, staff labels in multi-flow layouts, vertical spacing for organ instruments, playing techniques, flat slurs, and so on.
For more information about what’s new in this update, please visit the Dorico blog:
You can download the new update via Steinberg Download Assistant. We hope you’ll find the fixes and improvements in Dorico 5.1.20 useful and increase your enjoyment of using Dorico 5.
We have today released a hot fix update to version 5.1.21, which addresses the following problems:
Component
Issue
Note input
When the view moves to a new position when advancing the popover for lyrics, chord symbols, fingering, or figured bass, the popover could end up out of view; this has now been fixed.
Playback
In projects with trills with short segments, or at very fast tempos, Dorico could crash when preparing for playback; this has now been fixed.
Staff spacing
The value for the new Braced staff to unbraced staff gap on the Vertical Spacing page of Layout Options is now correctly restored when opening a project.
If you have already downloaded and installed Dorico 5.1.20, we recommend you update to Dorico 5.1.21 as soon as possible. The hot fix is available via Steinberg Download Assistant.
A hot fix for Dorico for iPad will be available very soon, subject to passing Apple’s App Store review.
