Hi, I would love to get some advice.
I have a small orchestral score (<300 bars).
If I input, say, 10-15 notes in sequence, I have to wait 15-20 seconds for all the notes to update. Not really sure what’s a good way around it.
The same issue occurs if I try to paste anything. I have to wait a while before the program lets me continue working.
I’m in Galley view, so if there’s any way to disable the re-rendering of the page view, maybe that’ll speed it up.
I’m running on desktop Windows 11
64 GB DDR5
Intel Core i9-13900K
Dorico is installed on a Samsung SSD 990 Pro partition.
I’m at my wits end. Every passage I type in is accompanied by me having to wait 15-30 seconds before I can continue.
Please any advise will be highly welcome!
Also: If you’re in NYC and you think you can come and fix my issue and make Dorico usable, I’m happy to pay you $300.
I’m not saving to the cloud.
Clean install doesn’t help, but it seems like if I restart the program it’s faster at first and slows down after being open for a while. Restarting again mitigates it to some degree.
Samsung Magician says status is “Good”.
I’m using Windows 11 Insider preview.
I have a MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X
According to the event logs, last application error was in January.
If you can fix this I’ll pay for your ticket from Melbourne haha! I appreciate the help!
Before you irrevocably commit to paying Andro’s airfare, be aware that the Melbourne he lives in (as do I) is the one in Australia, not the one in Florida.
That is a very old card (2016) by current standards, unless it is a typo.
Please try disabling that and using your onboard graphics.
What about audio interface? Details?
I have had issues with Insider Preview - but darn it, its difficult to get off that program. You have to disable it and then wait months for a new domestic Windows release to come out.
99.9% irrelevant. Any discrete card is mega-overkill for 2D software like Dorico unless you’re trying to drive 5 4K displays simultaneously or something.
@Michael_Seltenreich
You project is relatively small so this seems an unusual behavior . Does this happen also on other projects? Which playback instruments/template etc. are you using?
Can you post your project here, to see if this is file specific or system specific?
A couple of things you can try:
-Go in engrave mode and click on Lock Layout (this seems to reduce the background calculationsthat D is doing. When you are finished with note input in Galley View, and start layouting, then you can Reset the Layout with the other icon)
-uncheck, or even delete all parts layout on the right of Setup Mode (you can recreate the default parts layout with the Setup menu when you are finished with music entry)
-Deactivate temporarily Windows Defender and any Antivirus that you have, (and switch off wi-fi to be sure) to deactivate any background scanning.
-if you use more than one display, try to work with only one.
Not so if there are issues with the card/driver and it is causing delays in Window response. Old cards are not well supported. There are reports of this with Cubase and Dorico.
I maintain it is worth trying the onboard graphics as a troubleshooting test to eliminate this possibility. Given that this is a mysterious and difficult sitution, its worth trying every little thing.
So many questions. Are you using NVidia GEForce Experience? There have been issues with it consuming large CPU this year. If so, uninstall it - unless you are a big gamer. It’s not necessary and just chews CPU. You can update NVidia graphics drivers directly from the NVidia website.
Last one for today - ridiculous though it may be, try saving the file out under a new name, quit Dorico, restart and load the new file. This sounds like nonsense but I feel sure I recall this as a possible fix somewhere in this forum once.
