I’m running Dorico in English (in order to help people here) and configured it to show instrument names in German (because that’s what I’m writing for).
When I create a new file using the “Concert Band” template, this is what I get in transposing layouts:
Same with “Trompete (B Be) 1”.
Now I have to re-print all the parts showing such transposition…
Please, Dorico team, stop this. “B Be” has no meaning in German, it’s utter nonsense. Dorico should be clever enough to prevent this from happening.
Now, what’s funny: Just now, after finding out that my PDFs contain such labels and returning back home, I opened the Dorico file in order to change them. But all of a sudden the layouts correctly showed “Trompete (Bb)” - without me having changed anything. I swear! I really don’t know why Dorico now does the right thing. I’ve been working on the file for over a week, so Dorico changing the name now makes absolutely no sense. Why change it now and not when I opened it one of the last 20 times? I’m at a loss here. I did not change Doricos settings regarding instrument languages or any other configuration. Dorico must, upon opening the file, decided that the labels were wrong and changed them.
(And of course I know that those labels should have cought my eye and it’s partly my own fault )
I have the same environment (OS and Dorico in English, instrument and accidental/note name terminology in German) but I get always the same expected consistent results.
Apart from the general preferences (instrument language in German) I have this setting in Engraving Options > Language saved as default
Well, in fact I like the look of “Bb”.
But now that I’m look at my settings: I have “English (B flat / B)” selected and “Use names” - which could be the reason for “B Be”.
BUT: If that is the case, why did Dorico just now, with these settings, create layouts like this?
