Inputing notes by directly clicking in the pentagram

Welcome to the forum, @stints-bottler0c. You cannot tap notes directly into the staff in Dorico for iPad: you can either use the on-screen Keyboard or Fretboard, or you can use a hardware keyboard if you have one, but because your finger is typically much bigger than the staff line or space you’re aiming for, using your finger to input notes directly wouldn’t give a good experience, and hence it isn’t allowed.
