Iconica (Sketch) expression - workaround?

Hello, please pardon if this is a silly question. I’m using Dorico Elements 5, including Iconica Sketch (new user).

I have a cello line which I want to be somewhat “marcato” - harder attacks. Iconica Sketch Celli has 7 articulations, but not that one. To get closer, I select Sustain and dial down Attack to zero - an improvement.

I’m guessing that the full Iconica might have such an articulation built in (it’s hard to tell by looking at the web site).

I created a new expression map entry for Marcato with a keyswitch D#0 and CC74(QC1)=0. In HALion I assigned QC1 to Attack. Adding marcato indications to the notes in the score seems to work on playback, so I guess I did things correctly.

It sounds like you’ve found an appropriate solution that works for you, which is the main thing.
