Dear Dorico-Team,
First of all, thank you for the amazing effort you put into this program
I stumbled upon 2 things that I wished worked better, and I don’t know if you already considered them (they might even be available already without me having noticed it) :
1) Renaming your VST’s in Play Mode
When working on an Orchestral score, I most of the time open several instances of a 3rd party instrument, e.g. East West’s “Play”
My problem is that every instance of the instrument is called “Play”, which gets confusing after I opened a couple of them. Which “Play” is which one?
Is there a way to rename them ?
2) Improvements for Play Mode
Currently, some of my most important suggestions for play mode are that
a) When exporting to an audio file or while simply just playing back, Dorico does not yet take transposing instruments into account. This means that for the proper sound of a double bass, I actually need to write the score one octave lower than it would normaly be, as in real life it would already be sounding an octave lower.
ButI think I read somewhere that you are working on that feature already
b) Dorico also does not yet take repeat endings, D.S. and likewise into account while playback.
I think you are working on that feature as well, and I am by no means saying it is easy. This probably takes way more work than most of us can imagine
Thanks a lot
Andy
