It’s always the same: If you got a new toy, it won’t take long until you want more …
Thank’s for the brilliant update!
In Setup Mode I can right click onto one player and duplicate it. To create a transposing layout for the same player, it would now be great, if I just could right click on the layout on the right side and duplicate it!
Yes, we know, but unfortunately it’s decidedly non-trivial to implement it. In the meantime, you can use Propagate Part Formatting, which takes you a lot of the way there.
I think software development is a bit like making music. A good performance always feels (quite) easy and natural. You never hear the pain of and labour of practising …
After using Dorico for some years now, duplicate players (often) and duplicate flows (sometimes) became a normal workflow for me. Therefore my very first try was to duplicate a Layout in 3.5.
I would be a perfect triad, a brilliant symmetry and a very consistent option in Setup mode:
Duplicate Player
Duplciate Flow
Duplicate Layout
But at the moment I get along well without it and I really enjoy the new options for Part Preparation!
I realize this is an old thread, but I just discovered Propagate Part Formatting, and I’m so delighted I just had to say something. Thank you, Dorico team! Such a time-saver!
