Dorico 5 mp3 export options?

Are there no options for degree of compression/bit rate/depth for mp3 export. While mp3 files are certainly smaller than wav files, the ones coming from Dorico 5 are still much larger than necessary. I exported from Dorico then imported into Audition and exported again from there are got files 1/4 as large with no loss of quality.

Indeed, there are no configurable options for MP3 bitrate etc. in Dorico at present. I can’t remember exactly what the defaults are, but I think it’s a VBR encoding.

Thank you, Daniel. Not a big deal to go through Audition, but maybe a future feature!

I had cause to check the defaults today, and it’s 256kbps. We can surely expose this in a future version of the software.
