Hi !
Sorry if the question has already been asked but I didn’t find any solution online.
I’m trying to recreate this specific rhythm from “The Olympic Spirit” by John Williams. Do you have any advice on how I would be able to do that with Dorico ?

Thanks for the quick reply !
I also changed the rhythm grid value to the minimum and it’s way easier this way.

Changing the grid value doesn’t really affect this workflow in any way. Though it may be better if you’re working in these rhythmic values a lot.

Also, welcome to the forum!

Thank you glad to be here :wink:

edit: well I work a lot with my mouse and it seemed impossible to input this kind of rhythmic value with the default grid value.

Ah. In that case, you’re right. I recommend a keyboard-based note input workflow instead, as it’s more efficient once you acclimate to it. But of course Dorico will accommodate either method.

Yes I’m trying to use as much shortcuts as possible but I need time to learn them all !
Thanks again for the help :slight_smile:
