The double tap (or click) with numbered values has worked fine for me to create dotted notes quickly since I read about the tip.
Suddenly now opening my document this doesn’t work anymore.
I use a MacBookPro form 2014 and have not had any problem, not with the DoricoPro 5.1.80 now.
But today, opening my document where I use short values a lot and have set the carret value to 32nds I suddenly lost the double tap on my Mac keyboard numbers and using an extra MIDI-keyboard.
Just a few days ago after already updating to the latest version of DoricoPro everything worked with these settings.
Also no problem after starting to work with an extra CEPTER screen until today.
I booted my Mac again and have shut and reopened Dorico a couple of times but no.
Might there be a setting I just lost?
Could it be a keyboard layout issue, e.g. the language that your keyboard is set to use?
Or the System Setting for double-tap speed?
Double click on the note length never worked here (where double tap on the number does, but not for multiple dots). I didn’t find specific settings about this, but I may be wrong.
Nothing has been changed between the two sessions of writing I’ve had.
Everything is the same and I don’t notice any other problems using the Mac keys.
The double click was completely trustworthy before. Luckily I have long fingers so reaching the dot is easy (and how it used to be before).
Just lost the option which is a little sad.
This double tap didn’t work for multiple dots before, I think it’s not an option. Then you have to actually use the dot key.
It seems that working with a larger document the entry speed of the notes (and how DoricoPro 5.1.81.2225 performs in an older MacBookPro) gets quite slow. Where it seems to really make my work harder is inputting dotted notes.
Earlier in this thread there was talk about the double tap on number keys for dotted values (single dot) - cannot use it any more with my small orchestra and over 300 bars.
Now also using the keyboard dot after the number key isn’t working very well.
One really has to have a proper speed between pressing the number key and the dot - and I haven’t figured out if one should release the number key before pressing the dot or to keep it down till you start pressing the dot - and also in which order to release these in the “slow motion” that Dorico seems to need now.
These kinds of problems never existed before with my same equipment, Dorico and some very large documents. I wonder what has happened?
I have always released the other key(s) before pressing the dot key (on the letter keyboard, not on the number pad). It has been a long time (and many versions of Dorico) since I worked on a project long enough to slow input, but it seemed to work the same then.
