Hello,
I am putting Dorico through its paces, trying to see how far it can go for me in challenging situations. Some questions come up. My impressions are that this is a major-league program, and, for me, surprisingly easy to learn. If we could have cues in the parts (and better playback for scratch tracks), and if the last few bugs get fixed, I would be hooked!
However, a few issues remain, and I hope someone (probably Daniel) can tell me how to fix them, or that they will be addressed in an upcoming release. See the attached:
Notice, in m. 41, the marimba is two staves. I want one only, but don’t see how to do that (unless I remove ALL empty staves, and I don’t want that). Also, staff spacing changes move both marimba staves together (does not do that for the piano, where each staff moves separately), Also, the name shows up in the wrong place (after the grace notes), and collides with a note. But there is no way to move it!!
In m. 36 in the flute, I want a tie or dotted tie from the quarter to the half, to show the flz.(triple-slash tremolo mark) as emerging from the held note without a rearticulation. But if I tie these, the tremolo goes on all tied notes (and removing tremolo from one removes it from all).
In m. 38-39 in the piano, I put all notes in the rh, moved the cross-staff notes down. I want to hide the 2nd half-rest in the lh in m. 38, the first half-rest in the lh in m. 39. I made the 0% opaque, and those rests are gone from all modes EXCEPT printing!
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
David Froom
