Hello,
I want to export audio from several flow for example A, B ,C from a project “exemple.dorico” in a mp3 folder…what I expect was A.mp3,B.mp3,C.mp3 files inside the folder “mp3”
When I try with dorico I obtain:
1.If I check all my flows in “export Audio” I obtain only one file with the flows appended in a new folder and with the
mp3\Flows from Untitled Project 1\Flows from exemple.mp3
2.If I check more with “Export each selected flows as a separate file”
I obtain a lot of new folder
\mp3\Flows from Untitled Project 1\A\exemple- A.mp3
\mp3\Flows from Untitled Project 1\B\exemple- B.mp3
\mp3\Flows from Untitled Project 1\C\exemple- C.mp3
Is it possible to have all my mp3 with only the name of the flow inside an unique folder?
Best regards
At the moment there are no settings that allow you to specify the folder structure or file names for exported audio files, but this is something we plan to add in a future version.
Waiting on this… The naming og the exported mp3 files makes absolutely no sense. So if I may, I would like to suggest, how you could setup the naming:
Album: flow title.
Title: name of the arrangement/flow.
Artist: The players in the arrangement.
You probably have some smart people working on this, but I just wanted to pitch in.
When are you going to change the way mp3s are exported from Dorico?
It is very annoying to have to delete all the folders, that follows this action.
And if there are others who want folders, could you instead please add an option to “not create folders when exporting”? A very irritated thank you.

Hej Daniel.
I hate to complain and I didn’t think it was possible, but the naming of mp3’s from Dorico has just gotten worse after upgrading to Dorico 5.
This is what I get now with transposing instruments:
Would you please make this a priority in the near future.
I will have to spend at least 15 min. cleaning this mess up.
I exported voices for a whole orchestra.
Wow Please do. I create a lot of mp3s from my notation program and Dorico has the worst file save system (for audio exports) I have ever known…I am 74 and have been computing a good long time. To review I cannot name the file I have created and while with some effort I can control where it goes it is placed in a subfolder I did not create in another subfolder I did not create. While I understand that IOS thinks this strategy is advantageous it is a real pain for those of us who create files to use for something. I have doubts about Dorico’s ability to help anyone who does the kinds of things that I do.
FWIW I wrote a script to do this - it renames, moves, adds certain meta data tags automatically once you tell it your Dorico output directory. It can do different naming or packaging if you have to follow different conventions. - In addition to all the other reasons that the Dorico team has for doing what they do, this seems to be yet another area where the “best” way seems to depend on your point of view.
Anyway the script can make different audio versions, and video versions for import back into Dorico… I asked if anyone else had an interest here before I made an effort to tidy it up for others to use. No one said yes, so…. Dorico added a new export feature that I’ve been meaning to make more use of to extract more information from the score itself. Changing it some based on what I use most…
