I’ve set some copyright info in my Dorico composition’s Project Info window. I’ve filled in the Composer, Artist and Copyright Info fields. I then exported an MP3 using the Export Audio dialog. However, none of the copyright info I included was included in the meta info of the exported MP3 file.
Is there any way to have the exporter include the artist/copyright info? If not, could this be added to a future release?
MP3 tags aren’t exported today. I asked too, once upon a time. On reflection I’ve decided I want a pony instead. 
I respect your ask, I just want mention as an option that that information and more is available in the text export if you are into scripting. Ex: I have a script that can pick that up and use it to tag MP3s, among other things.
If you could post the script here, that would be fantastic.
It’s a shame that the Dorico devs aren’t more responsive. After using it for a few weeks, it does some things really well, but other things seem very unpolished.
In Amsterdam-Yiddish I’d call this a gotspe — I believe Americans spell it as chutzpah. It is so untrue.
I have never seen a software development team as involved with their user base as those of Dorico here on this forum. I assure you, they read every single post, and many questions from users on all different skill levels are handled by them personally. Bug reports and feature requests find their way perfectly here.
There is nothing more untrue than this. Rest assured, your post is monitored and will be read by the developers themselves. Because of this, a personal recommendation:
If I had a wish, I would kindly ask instead of insulting. Life teaches that one has more success with that approach.
For Pete’s sake, I was responding to the second guy’s post who said that he had made a similar request a while ago and that it went ignored. I’ve also posted several times in other threads about another issue and I feel the response I got for that was inadequate.
Including the copyright info in the export should be a pretty simple programming change, so if it’s true they’ve not done anything about it, I don’t think I’m out of line in saying that the devs are unresponsive.
Please bear in mind that the dev team probably has a looooong to-do list based on all the requests users have expressed here. Moreover, Dorico’s user base is extremely diverse, so the requests are as well. The vast majority of these requests are valid and understandable, as is yours. (By the way, I too very much wish for an overhaul of the export function.)
But nonetheless, if the dev team were to adress every single request that exists at this time right with the next major version of Dorico, I suppose that we could expect it in five years the earliest. And as simple as your request might seem to you from the outside, one does never know how complex it may be from the programmer’s inside view.
And even in the case it may be relatively simple to accomplish, think of it as some form one has to fill for some sort of state agency that keeps stowed away somewhere on one’s desk, because everyday life just keeps pressing with more and more tasks that are more important right now.
P.S. For the time being, you can work with a tool like MP3tag, which is very powerful and rather simple to use. In fact, most of the users here apply a collection of extensions and additional tools, because one single program just cannot address all the needs of such an extremely diverse user base.
I do.
God answers all requests.
Sometimes the answer is “no.” (at least for now)
Where’s that from?? (And I don’t mean the Bible!)
I just remember the former headmaster of our school used to quote it.
I think it’s Angels and Demons I’m thinking of. And here I was, thinking it was just a quote from
the Bible…
I don’t recall for sure when Angels and Demons was written (2000?), but my sense is that the headmaster was using the phrase (only occasionally) before that came out. He retired from our school before 2000.
I’m sorry to have given you any impression remotely close to that. Unresponsive is the exact opposite of my experience.
I think I was too concerned about dismissing your ask with my answer. Transparently, I think they’ve already provided a more broadly useful way to access that metadata. - and more, as far as the freedom to access text from the score in a pretty simple way. My thinking is: if tagging is more than an occasionally concern, then you also need the data to maintain some sort of catalog. But no one has to agree with me.
I second the recommendation of MP3tag, most heartily. It works so well for me, in fact, that I support it financially with an automatic monthly donation - it’s just a five spot, but it’s worth it to keep the updates coming and to keep the author as responsive as the Dorico devs are. (Yes, I’m complimenting you guys, even though I’ve griped at you in the past for various and sundry other reasons, I’ve never called you unresponsive. You rock in that area.) Anyway, check out MP3tag, even if Steinberg adds more tag support into Dorico. It’s worth your time and money.
