I can’t make heads or tails of Dorico’s condensing feature. I have two flutes. The first flute is playing while the second flute is resting.
Why on earth, in the condensed version, does Dorico decide to place the dynamics for the first flute ABOVE the staff?? More importantly, how can I get the dynamics back below the staff in the condensed version?
Also, why do some stems appear to go downward when they clearly should go upward? This program seems to have a mind of its own.
With Condensing questions in particular, it is often essential to see the actual Dorico file, or at least a portion that demonstrates the problem. Otherwise we are only guessing.
Notice that the tempo markings in the woodwinds are all over the place. The dynamics are above the staff first of all, and there are some weird choices going on around bars 10 to 12. I don’t have a clue as to why Dorico is doing this, nor can I fathom why I can’t just edit it manually, like you can in Finale.
Also, where is the Edit Font Styles dialog box in Dorico 4? I can’t find it under Engrave, but I did find it under Library. However, there is no option there for Bar Numbers. Grr!
