Dorico 6 list of MIDI commands

Hello, can someone please let me know if there is a way to list the MIDI commands / shortcuts I have created? I have created several that I have written down, but do not see a way to list them in Dorico?

I am running Dorico 6 on a Mac Mini.

Thanks!

There’s no list of just ones you’ve created/changed, but if you do Help>Key Commands you will get a list of all key commands.

Do you really mean MIDI, or are you talking about key commands in Dorico?

Hi Aaron, thanks for the reply. I am specifically referring to the keyboard “bindings” I have created to have my Korg MIDI keyboard issue specific commands in Dorico. I have done this using the Key Commands in the Preferences menu. Attached is a screenshot of one of the “bindings” I have created to remove rests. I have created several others. Is there a way for Dorico to list these customizations? Thanks.

Oh, interesting—I don’t have a MIDI keyboard, so I never paid attention to that part of the key commands dialog. I suppose they might be listed in the key commands json file in your user settings folder, along with alphanumeric ones, but I’m not sure.

Someone else probably has better info.

Hi Janus, when I display the current key commands (http://localhost:59087/dorico/keycommands/) I can confirm that I see the custom commands I have created with the computer keyboard (i.e. Command + . ) but the output does not list the commands created with the MIDI keyboard. Is there any other place I should be looking? I have attached 2 images. You can see that “Show Accidental in Round Brackets” is defined for BOTH Command+. and MIDI note 23. The MIDI shortcut is not listed in the output.

Hi @Peter_Bransche, as suggested, you can easily find all your MIDI assignments if you open the file keycommands_en.json (en is for English, it may vary if you use other languages for your key commands) that you find in your Dorio 6 folder (*). Open that file with a text editor and use the search functionality of your text editor to search for NOTEON strings: you will see which command is assigned and to which MIDI note:

(*) On MacOS the Dorico system folder is here:
/Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Steinberg/Dorico 6

On Windows:
%APPDATA%\Roaming\Steinberg\Dorico 6\

Thanks, @Christian_R ! I suspected they were in there but was unable to confirm, since I don’t have a MIDI keyboard.

Brilliant - thank you. Would be nice if this information was part of the GUI, but I will take it for now :slight_smile:
