I know it’s a regular feature request to let us export score videos from Dorico, and I know that feature isn’t available. (I’m still hoping it becomes available ASAP, especially since MuseScore just added it.)
Meanwhile, my best workaround is to put the score into Write > Galley View, then do a screen capture. However, I constantly have to disable a whole bunch of things in the View menu: signposts, system track, switch off auto-coloring of slightly-out-of-range notes, bar numbers, etc. And then when I’ve finished with the screen capture, I want to turn them all back on.
Is there any way to have Dorico memorize all the things in the View menu (or save presets of them) so that I could turn them all on and off with one or two clicks?
Also: for the purposes of video creation I’d really love to see an option where the wiper stays in the middle of the screen, and the music scrolls horizontally underneath the stationary wiper. I know, not possible yet, but please?
I still highly encourage the Dorico team to add this feature quickly. It’s 2026 and nearly all of us creating scores want to be able to post them on social media!
One of my past professions was as a clinical neurophysiographer and part of that job was performing electroencephalography, or EEG, (recording the electrical patterns of the brain).
Interestingly, the companies selling the software for that process have perfected scrolling data across screen. Perhaps the Dorico development team could interact with one or more of them to get a better idea of how that is done and how it could be applied here. Nihon Kohden Europe, Cephalon, Holberg EEG and Elmiko are a few that come to mind.
Media seems to be everything and I so agree that a video maker would be a great addition to Dorico. I forgot the name of another music software but it has video abilities and that was very useful especially on Facebook…
I don’t know about nearly all, but certainly many would like that. I, among others, export audio and then create still images used to create video with apps like iMovie or VideoPad or a multitude of others. Video playing compositions in the scrolling (aka Galley) mode was a big thing for those of us who were Finale users but it never came to fruition.
Interestingly, that can be done with QuickTime on a Mac without audio then export the audio and align it with, and add it to, the QT video in iMovie, VideoPad, etc. I haven’t used a Windows machine for notation in 25 years so I don’t know if this process would work in that environment.
