I’m going through an orchestral piece, having it play back, looking for edits to make.
Aha! here’s one.
But as soon as I stop playback to make the edit, the screen changes and I’m back to where the playback started, so then I have to hunt down the spot that was on the screen a moment ago, which is frustrating
Dorico didn’t use to do this. I’d like it to stop doing this. Maybe there’s already a way to alter that behaviour, in one of the preference-sets or panels, but I don’t know even how to ask the question in a way that isn’t long-winded and hybrid-narrative, like this.
Any help would be appreciated.j
I must not understand: in Write mode, when I click the square “stop” button on the menu bar, the playback cursor disappears, but the screen remains as it was so I can make any edit change and then (by pressing the “play” arrowhead in the menu bar) proceed with the playback from my stopping point.
Have I misunderstood you? Are you initiating playback in a mode other than Write mode?
Dear Derrek and John B,
I am quite surprised here : I noticed the same behavior that John experiences and I was annoyed — I did not remember it used to work differently… And I just tried again to make sure I had the same problem, and boom. Everything is working as expected. I will be very careful about that issue, and when it comes back, I’ll post here.
Derrek,
I shall try clicking on that button–I usually try to do as much as I can just with the keyboard, and often forget there are other ways–so thanks for the tip.
Marc,
Yes, it doesn’t always happen, and not surprisingly I soon get engrossed in working on the music and forget about the problem, until it happens again. Another thing that sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t is double-clicking at a rhythmic position to get a note-entry cursor: sometimes that just stops working, and then at some other point it does, unpredictably. But that’s maybe a different issue (other issues I have I know will be fixed for the next update though, so I’m looking forward to that).j
Same here. I thought I had reproduced it by
- select a note
- do ‘play from selection’
- after screen scrolls and selected note is out of sight, hit stop.
view jumps to selection.
Though I reproduced it once, but could not repro again.
