Please could we have a single key stroke to insert double bars? In Sibelius I was able to set up a key, I used \. Select bar hit \. Easy. It takes multiple keystrokes to do the same thing in Dorico and it becomes a real pain when working fast, under pressure of time.
We use double bars a lot in commercial music so each section of music is clearly visible.
Many thanks,
Phil
Once you’ve done one, then you can alt-click it to a new location.
It may be possible to edit the key commands XML file directly to add the shortcut.
Do you mean double bar lines?
If so, then there’s a case to be made for a Stream Deck. These are the functions that I have acces to with a single keypress (possibly double that with long-press capability!):
Yes – you need to be comfortable editing JSON files, but the command to map is:
NoteInput.CreateBarLine?Definition=||&UseLocalOverride=0
Here’s a longer post I wrote detailing the process. The trick is always figuring out which section of the file a command belongs in; I think what I’ve got in that post should work here as well.
