I am a convert!

Hello!

I recently converted to Dorico from Finale. I know that sounds like a religious experience, it’s not but similar. It is a different way of doing things than before. I have been able to learn a lot in a short period of time thanks to the simple and consistent design of the software. I still have a lot to learn. Thank you for all the great work in producing Dorico!

There are a few things that I haven’t been able to figure out or find help to do.

  1. How do you create lyrics for when a verse repeats? Below is an example of what it should look like. I have tried various ways to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

  1. How do you fix a unison Fa in shape notes? I have tried to follow the solutions from the post below but have been unable to get this to work. Are there steps that are missing in the suggestions?

Fa Flags

For #1, I recommend adding that second line as “Translation.” Just make the font the same size.

And for #2, since that thread we gained a “Hide notehead” swtich in Properties, in engrave mode. Just hide it in the lower voice. You can select a whole staff and filter by pitch, and then by voice, to do them all at once.
