I’m perpetually on the lookout to speed up my note entry in Dorico, so if anyone has any specific suggestions or links for practice/tips, etc. I would love to hear them.
When I’m in my DAW, I have great key commands that help me locate transport quickly and go into record. For example, I frequently use this sequence of keystrokes on the keypad to navigate and engage very quickly:
. (period) - activates first field in bar|beat|tick of transport
5 - I use this as an example if I want to move the transport to measure 5
enter - I use this to confirm the location and deactivate the transport location field
3 - 3 is the keyboard shortcut to drop it into record
In other words, I can do this sequence in a split second from the numeric keypad:
. 5 enter 3
and I’m instantly recording into bar 5.
Does Dorico have anything equivalent to that? I would love to be able to zoom around the transport as well as drop into MIDI record very quickly, so I can get notes input faster.
Right now, transport location and then note entry is pretty tedious for me, by far the slowest part of my Dorico workflow, so I would love to hear from others who have got some good shortcuts down.
