The apple pencil doesn’t work properly anymore with D5 for IPad. All actions in the menu like filtering, transpose, transform etc. for selected notes don’t respond, if you use the pencil . Just nothing happens, if you tap on these items with the pencil. In the portrait view the playback buttons don’t respond to pen touches .
I’m having similar issues - many of the interface elements aren’t working with pencil touches.
I’m confused. Has Dorico for iPad been updated? Are we supposed to be able to input and move notes with the pencil?

Dorico for iPad has been updated, but there is no additional support for Apple Pencil in this release. However, tapping interface elements with the Pencil should work the same in Dorico for iPad 5.0 as in earlier versions. @wibem1, are you finding that you can’t tap on menu items in the score context menu (on the secondary toolbar) with the Pencil?
The pencil taps work with the general menu (3 lines), but not with the inner special menu (3 dots).
I’m having many more problems with this new Dorico update for the iPad; regardless of the Apple Pencil, double tapping in the score to start the carrot at that moment does not work, with the fingers or with the pencil. A lot of functionality with the pencil in note input, also selecting note duration is not working, clearly bugged, because in the previous version this worked seamlessly. Any way to update this quickly or perhaps downgrade to the previous version? This makes the app almost unusable, and I’ve been using it every day.

Dorico is not responding when typing in the score to get the carret . Note duration is not working either, one have to use fingers, the(3_lines ) at the top right are not visible. I tried to reinstall D5 4 times but nothing happen.
Welcome to the forum, @am1. Please try rotating your device to the other orientation and then back again, and you should see the application menu appear.
Double-tapping to start note input is indeed not working since we moved to the newest version of the Qt framework, and while it’s inconvenient, you can still start note input by tapping on the dedicated button for that in the toolbox on the left.
I do find that various buttons in the user interface reject the Pencil that didn’t used to – as of right now I don’t know what the reason for that is, but we will investigate.

Rotating the ipad to get the 3-line menu back in portrait does work but the icon is still cut at the corner (ipad pro 12.9). I. think before the update the corner were ok.
In the menu, there are also some weirt artifacts if you change a setting or double tap a menuname.
blue artifacts in the middle:

Glad to hear other people are experiencing this as well. I thought my Apple Pencil was on the fritz.
