Hi,
I’m new to Dorico and have found how to extend an octave line in the Engrave setting but find that in play back mode the note is heard the octave below so that effectively the octave line looks extended but it has not extended it’s functionality. The only way I can find to hear the music as I intend it is to place an 8ve sign above each note which looks clumsy and confusing and not what players are used to seeing.
Can anyone help please?
Thank you
Changes you make in Engrave mode are graphic only. If you want a series of notes to be affected by 8va, then you need to extend the line in Write mode – or select the whole series of notes before applying the line.

Thank you so much!! I tried to extend in write mode but hadn’t highlighted each note - brilliant!
And thanks so much for the video, so helpful…
