Force duration always on?

[kaposi.g]

I know it is not a new question but haven’t found the right answer, so I’m asking again, sorry for the redundancy.

Is there any way to force ‘force duration’ always on? I mean i switch it on and will remain till I switch it again instead of switching it everytime after I quitted note entry mode and am going back to it.

There is an option in Preferences to do this.

Note that leaving it on all the time may cause problems.

Force duration again

Well, none of the Notation Options for Note and Rest Grouping will affect anything, obvs. If you change the barring, or copy and paste your notes to a different beat of the bar, you’ll likely find the result to be ‘wrong’. It’s possible that beaming might be unable to respond to any changes you make, too. There have been cases of people posting here with problems, or even ‘bugs’, that turned out to be because they’d forgotten that everything was forced. As said, for some workflows, it may not…

Gergely,
this exactly what I asked, when I started to work with Dorico.
Since then, I have happily revised my desires and do use Force Duration in very rare cases only.
