In jazz notation, a wavy line can be used to indicate vibrato. Is there a way to add this in Dorico 6?
I’ve checked the Ornaments panel but couldn’t find a generic wavy line suitable for the horn section. I also tried entering “vibrato” in the Playback Techniques popover.
Is there a recommended method for notating vibrato with a wavy line in Dorico that also engages the appropriate playback technique?
Thanks in advance for your help.
You could use one of the Wavy Lines in the Line panel. That won’t have a playback effect, though.
It may be possible to construct a Playing Technique for vibrato that uses the wavy line as a continuation line.
Thank you for your help. The Wavy line in the Line panel would work well if I could link if to a playing technique. I’ve read the relevant page in the manual (Steinberg) but am stumped at step 5. There is no General tab showing in my Edit Playback Techniques window:
Playback techniques are not Playing Techniques!
Playing Techniques are notations in the score (your wiggly line)
Playback Techniques are switches in Expression Maps that affect playback.
You connect the two in the Playing Techniques dialog…
