I am a Dorico Elements customer, I am not a Dorico user, because I am not satisfied with the application functioning.
But I use it in some occasions, especially to compare it to Musescore.
I noticed that it has problems with playback of some double dotted staccato quavers, follwed by 1/32. They sound too staccato.
If I do not put the staccato the playback is like “molasses”.
The playback is very different from that of MusescoreStudio4 that is suitable for me for both musical figurations.
I cannot judge what is the real playback, but MS4 sounds as I expected, while Dorico doesn’t.
Unfortunately in the same music I am writing MS4 fails the playback of tremolo tied notes across measures, while Dorico does it well.
Sounds from MS4 and Dorico are of similar quality although sound differently (I am sure some mixer tweaks can make them more homogeneous).
What I need is a reasonable rendition to understand how an orchestra would play, so I am asking here whether it could be possible to play Dorico and MS in sync so that Dorico is used only for the tremolo parts that MS fails. I mean, being the music literally the same as to tempo changes and measures, although in different staves (some belong to MS and some belong to Dorico).
Is there a method?
Thanks
No, this is not possible. You cannot in general synchronise the playback of Dorico with any other application (though some limited synchronisation is possible using the TXL Timecode plug-in, but this will only work with applications that can sync to MTC, and I believe MuseScore does not support this).
Cannot it act as master or slave sending out or receiving some sort of midi data?
At a college lecture in the 1960’s, a student showed up early and wrote in large letters on the chalkboard, “Question authority!”
A few minutes later, the professor, arriving for the lecture, looked thoughtfully at the chalkboard, and then, taking the chalk, wrote out below the student’s remark, “If authority answers, will you listen?”
What specific instrument(s) are you unhappy with the translation? There’s a very good chance you can make adjustments (to Dorico’s ‘playback options’, the overall mix, expression maps, and the instruments in Sonic) to make it sound more to your tastes.
Perhaps if you supply an example score and let us know what your issue(s) are we can help you tweak out those sounds.
No, it cannot, as I said in my initial response.
So I suppose you are not that kind of student…
I think if you would stop stressing these two contradictory statements so much, your requests for help would be appreciated more.
the playback length of staccato notes can be adjusted in Dorico. You know this, right?
