Hello!
I have composed 20 minutes of music in Dorico (string quartet) and I use
NotePerformer. The editing and inputing notes has become very slow.
For example, when I repeat a note with “R”, it takes 2 seconds to complete and that is with every process i do.
Or maybe it is the way it should be?
For example when i paste a phrase it takes 1 second to past and
the undo and redo is also very slow (it has always been in my case as well)
For example, when you undo in cubase it is very fast.
what happens if you reload Dorico (quit, wait 10 seconds, relaunch)? Same slowness?
Or if you restart the PC, same slowness?
Also is suggested: deactivate condensing until the editing is complete (not your case probably)
don’t work with multiple tabs open (close all tabs and relaunch Dorico to free the “memory”, I believe…)
work on one flow at a time when inputting music (deactivate temporarily all other flows for your working layout, or create a new working layout with only that one flow)
I noticed an improvement (with really large projects) after executing Lock Layout (in Engrave mode) and work then in Galley view (the calculations in background that Dorico needs to do are fewer), and when you are finished inputting all the music, you can then Reset the layout.
I will try them out.Thanks!
Actually it has been quite slow since Dorico 3, but I though it should be like this.
Here is one video, where I type “R” and undo
Thank you for the video, @darkneutron
Definitely not normal behaviour! Dorico is much snappier than that.
Normally such action should be quite instantaneous (if you don’t have a really large project).
It would be very interesting, though, if you could share the Dorico Project (you can use the transformation tools to change completely all the pitches at once, if you are worried about copyright etc…), to see how that Project behaves on a different system. It could help in finding the culprit of your issue.
