Harmonics: Pitch supported only with "normal" notation with Doric 6.1

Good morning everyone. Since I updated Dorico to 6.1, harmonics written with just the white note head that used to sound at the correct pitch now sound like real notes, not harmonics; they sound correct if notated as “normal.” For clarity, I’ll provide an example where the same harmonic with the fundamental on the open D string, notated in both ways, doesn’t sound correct in the first case, but does in the second. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks.

Buongiorno a tutti. Da quando ho aggiornato Dorico al 6.1 gli armonici sritti con la sola testa bianca da sfiorare che prima suonavano all’altezza corretta, ora suonano cpme note reali e non armonici; suonano correttamente se vengono notati come “normali”. Per maggiore chiarezza riporto l’esempio in cui lo stesso armonico con fondamentale la corda vuota D, notata nei due modi, mel primo caso non suona correttamente, mentre nel secondo sì. Si può risolvere questo problemna? Grazie

Those two examples play back the same for me:

Thanks Richard, now I’ve solved it too. I’m using a MacBook Pro and when I open your example it says it’s built with a version of Dorico later than mine, which is the latest 6.1. Perhaps you use Windows?

Oh, sorry - that warning is just because I saved that project using an internal Steinberg build of Dorico (I’m one of the Dorico testers). The file should still work OK though.

Great job, Richard! Thanks a lot and keep up the good work.
