Another thing that annoys me about Dorico is its tendency to correct the rhythm you type.
I’ve explored the forum from every angle, and I realise that this correction, which is comparable to that of the worst smartphone, tends to drive quite a few members of the community crazy.
Is there a way to ask Dorico to mind his own business and let us capture the rhythmic value we want ?
For example, this extract from Mozart’s K.452. Mozart wrote an eighth note on C, and NBA Bärenreiter does the same (capture in Finale).
When will Dorico behave like a true musician, and not a beginner in a first year of Solfège ?
Have I forgotten any settings other than those shown here ?
That’s not denigration. But knowing how to recognise the weaknesses of a product that is, after all, just a software, is a good thing for mind. The opposite is indoctrination.
And I refuse to see that on this forum.
This is an extremely strange question, @ObiwanKenobi. I’ll ask a correlated one: When will MicroSoft Word behave like a true author?
As for characterizing (if I understand you correctly) Dorico users who don’t have an aversion to pressing O to get the notational results they want as children who cannot see they’ve been indoctrinated, that strikes me as uncharitable at best. And I hope we all refuse to see that on this forum.
I only want to discuss on this forum with reasonable people for whom admitting a few small flaws in their favourite software is not insurmountable.
Software is just software. A commercial product, and that’s all.
We’re not defending humanitarian objectives here, are we ?
Nevertheless, you haven’t told me whether the settings I’ve made in the notation options are relevant or not, and whether there are others I might have forgotten.
Wink emojis don’t make up for downright rudeness, @ObiwanKenobi. I hope we can expect you to be a more respectful member of the forum going forward. You would benefit from not squandering the good will that your fellow users bring here.
I’m beginning to regret spending about half an hour of my lifetime, creating videos and background info for the question at hand, searching out links, thinking, reformulating, just to get told that it is just nonsense what we do … I’m out of this thread.
