Does anyone using Dorico Pro 5 know how to make the letter ‘R’, for instance, repeat from Measure 1 to Measure 2?
I would be grateful if someone can help me with this problem.
Thanks for your help.

By default, the shortcut R duplicates the current selection immediately after it.
So, if you’ve selected an entire measure of music, pressing R will duplicate it to the next measure.
Can you clarify what you’re trying to achieve? Maybe there’s another way of doing it.

**Dear benwiggy:
I highlighted Measure (or Bar) 36 and was able to copy it to Bar 37 using the lower-case ‘r’.
If there is another way of copying from Bar to Bar please let me know.
Have you ever uploaded an original score to YouTube.com?
Not too long ago, all you had to do was upload a score without any pictures; now they want you to make a movie to go with your music.
I uploaded one of my pieces to soundcloud.com and it worked out okay.
Meanwhile, thank you for your help.

Sure – Click to select a bar, and Alt+click at the beginning of another bar.
Or the old-fashioned Copy & Paste works too.
I see plenty of Youtube music videos that just display one static picture as their ‘movie’ content. But it’s probably true you can’t upload just an .mp3 sound file, it has to have a visual component to be technically considered a video file.
I have several score videos on YT. I’ve taken various approaches depending on the piece and how much effort I wanted to put into the video production.
The quickest way is to create a layout for what I’ll call slides. I have the page size for this layout set to 26.67" wide and 15" high. This corresponds to 1920x1080 pixels, or standard HD resolution. I’ll “print” those as .PNG files and then import them as assets to Adobe Premiere, but you can use whatever video editor you like. Obviously, you also need the exported .mp3 file. In the video editor I bring up the first slide and just cross fade from to the next at the appropriate moment.
The disadvantage with this approach is there’s an expectation that the viewer knows how to read a score as there is no vertical playback line to guide them. To get the playback line currently requires screen capture software (I use OBS Studio) and a lot more time to edit the video. I’ll still export an .mp3 for the audio track. Then, I’ll screen record the playback line going across each slide separately. This is because every time Dorico moves to the next slide, the new slide tends to not be in the same exact position. I will correct for this in the video editor when I splice each slide video together.
