Let ring symbols, and reducing number of pages needed for layout

Dorico
1

Hi,

I’m new here and new to Dorico. I’m starting to get used to it and to understand it better and it’s great!
2 things I can’t seem to find, and I looked also around this forum with no answer.
I hope someone here could assist, if so that would be very wonderful.

  1. Is there a “let ring”/ “let vibrate” symbol in Dorico?

2.I can’t seem to understand the engraved or page layout options yet. I have 4 pages of an orchestral piece, it really could be all included in 2 pages, but Dorico decides to space it greatly, I have 2 or 3 bars per page. How can I set 4 bars a page per section?

Thank you very much!

Tamar

I’ve moved your post out of the FAQ thread into its own new thread.

  1. There is not yet a dedicated laissez vibrer/let ring symbol in Dorico, but you could work around the lack of one for now by using a Shift+X text object with a suitable character from the Bravura Text font, perhaps one of these.

  2. Try reducing the spacing value for a quarter note on the Note Spacing page of Layout Options.

No symbol yet, but there is something.
