I experience an annoying lyrics font issue after updating to 6.1. I’ve got an apostrophe in Calibri font that is displayed vertical on all Dorico versions so far:
After the update all these apostrophes are now displaying this way:
I had to downgrade so the apostrophes are displayed correctly. Can someone have a look at this?
Thanks
I’m not at my computer to check, but does playing around with these new settings mentioned in the Version History change anything?
I’d say apostrophes and quotes are not the same glyphs, so it should not have any relationship, but… who knows?
Would you be able to attach a short snippet of one of your projects that shows the problem? Did you input the lyrics using the popover, or with something like the Edit Line of Lyrics or Edit Single Lyric dialog?
Nope, this does not make any difference - ticked or unticked.
Edit:
Although this character is a single straight quote. In Word when I type in that character it is transformed into a smart quote unless I untick this option in Auto-format panel:
So it clearly has has something to do with the latest Dorico changes mentioned above. In previous versions I was able to paste that straight quote into the lyrics window and it did not transform it to a smart quote, but not anymore..

In the previous versions Dorico would transform the straight quote to a smart one when you type in the popover. But then when you open Edit Single Lyric dialog and paste the straight quote it did not transform it and this worked perfectly for me so far. But not in 6.1 anymore.
Here is the straight quote to paste in Edit Single Lyric: ’
Did this get solved? I use a paragraph style to mark the parts in my work, so the second version of the A part is A’. I used to get the straight apostrophe, which is what I want. Now I get the smart quote. I do much simpler stuff than most you do, so I’d love a simple solution.
Sorry. I unticked the engraving option about smarten quotes and in spite of text saying that Dorico would smarten quotes in text frames regardless of the option setting, that fixed it. I guess my text marking the parts is not in a text frame, just text.
