I imported a Dorico file into Cubase 14 and the result is quite disappointing. The score in Cubase doesn’t look at all like the score in Dorico.
Hey Steinberg people, can you take a look at this ? That’s not how the Dorico import file function should work.
Do you have overrides for the start or end offset for those notes in Dorico?
I would suggest doing a select all in Dorico and doing a “reset playback overrides” (in the play menu) to reset all manual overrides to playback, saving the file again and then try importing that into Cubase.
I tried it, but it didn’t help. The result was bad as before. Can you try to get a good result from this Dorico file in Cubase?Allegretto_in_F_Major_K._15a.

Firstly change the display quantize settings: Score > Instrument Settings > Display Quantize > Regular 1/32, as some of the notes are shorter than the default setting
It appears that there is a bug in the pickup bar display logic which isn’t showing all the notes. A workaround for this is to move the part in the arrange window right by one bar and then you can delete bar 1 with Edit > Cut Time
Some of the note durations aren’t appearing correct (eg the rhythm in bar 3) because there is a conflict between the notation data and the playback data. The staccatissimo indication causes Dorico to set the played duration to be very short, and so Cubase has to make decisions about whether to use the playback or notated duration. I’ve now fixed this.
The mid-bar repeats in bar 16 are not currently supported. Cubase’s import of Dorico files isn’t intended to create a 100% accurate score representation. It is intended to preserve the main musical content.
