Importing a house style

One more follow up question: the trill in bar 47 should be a half note trill, I think I have the properties right (see screenshot), but I’d like the score to show that, maybe with a small Bb between brackets to the right of the A and a D natural to the right of the D flat. How do I do that?

Right now you have the trill interval set on Perfect Unison which does a bisbigliando on one single pitch (i.e. a trill between A natural and A natural instead of a trill between A natural and Bb). I think you want a minor 2nd and not a perfect unison, and to get the brackets you can go into Engrave Mode->Engrave Menu->Engraving Options->Ornaments->Trill Intervals and select the desired “Trill Interval Appearance”.

Terrific, thank you!

1. Ask your publisher to send back their improved version of your previously-published Dorico project.
2. Save a duplicate of it.
3. Delete the flows within the duplicate project.
   Now you have a template file.

Thanks, Leo! That helps greatly.

But I still consider that import/Export House Style functions would be worthwhile, as they would include more features. – Unless the Sibelius method is in some way copyright…
