Does anyone know if their is a way to hide articulations? I’m writing a piece that has a passage of a lot of staccato eighth notes (quavers) in a row. I only want the staccato dots to appear on the first four, with “sim.” to appear above the next one to notify the performer to continue to play stacc…

Hi Thatvoilaguy! I think you’re right, I don’t know any workaround to use a sim. marking with the correct playback. I would like that too.

It’s outside my comfort zone, but I could have sworn there are continuation settings within the Playing Techniques Editor. I may be wrong, of course!

There are continuation types for playing techniques, but the problem is that articulations (staccato dots etc in the left hand panel) are not playing techniques (in the right hand panel). You can define a playing technique for the word “staccato” (or even a dot) and get a “sim” continuation in the …

This is currently my best workaround: [Screen Shot 2019-01-07 at 3.23.13 PM.png] It it far less than ideal, but it gets the job done. I guess I’ll have to wait for them to add hideable articulations or continuous articulation text in an update for a better solution. Thanks to MarcLarcher, pianole…

Searched for the same - no solution. Another option of course would be like in Sibelius that you could determine the note duration - but that’s also not yet possible in Dorico :neutral_face:

If all you care about is playback without changing the notation, can’t you just edit it in Play mode? Start with this: [image] Drag the selected notes back and you have this: [image] I’m not sure there’s a way to do it with mathematical precision though. Something like Right-click/Modify Durat…

How about a large value in the Y offset? Enough to push them off the page…

I feel this should work by creating a new playing technique (PT) (“sim.”) and reference the normal staccato as the playback playing technique (PPT) … oh well, will test it out first thing when back in the studio tomorrow :slight_smile:

I don’t thing that will do the whole job. The staccato playing technique will change the playback samples (if the library has them and the expression map is set up), but in the current version of Dorico I don’t think the expression map or playing technique can change the duration of the notes (thoug…

Here is yet another example of why it would be useful to have the ability to selectively hide/show any item on the score.

These situations are not precisely the same, but they are related:
