New Wishes

Hello to All,

I have been collecting my wishes for future updates for Dorico. I use the 5 version and uses the program quite heavenly over the past year.

• Chord symbols for minor chords with regular letters, no capital letters (a, b, c, d, e, f and g).
• When you shift notes over a bar line or time signature, the connecting arcs are cut. When pasting and cutting, also when you paste over bar lines, unless you use exactly the same position
• In engrave mode, the dynamics and texts within 1 system are not aligned with each other
• Function to easily enharmonize a score correctly|
• Extra indication when you have the i on
• More options to still edit notes and play back from notes in condensing mode

Greetings Jan

You should find dynamics align when you group them in Write mode. This is the most reliable way in most cases.

Can you show an example of this? (maybe a short screen video or gif)

I see @Jan_Klein_Swormink, if you change this two Engraving options, the slur will stay in the original position, even after moving your music around:

Just in case: you can normally edit and playback selecting every note/item position in Galley view, even with Condensing activated.

Thanks! I didn’t know that. I set the ties the other way arround, because that made more sense to me. But didn’t realize this were the consequences.
I will reset the options. When I think of it, for the end result I will put them back. Grtn Jan

Hmm, in Galley view I don’t get a condenst score

In Galley vie the staves remain separated to be able to edit their music. The Condensing stays nevertheless activated (in “background”) and is visible in Page view.

See here for more information:

I know that but the comfort of the condensed view is that you have much beter overview. Therfor it would be hand if you can make adjustments there as well.
Or also select a Note where to play from.

I missed another thing: soloing staves like track in a daw

There are lots of ways to solo existing instruments in Dorico, both via the Mixer, via commands in the Play menu which have shortcuts, and via how you start playback. A quick search for “solo instruments” in the Operation Manual will give you some helpful results.

Just in case you are not aware of this: selecting more than one note in an instrument/staff and then pressing P, will playback only that instrument/staff. The same applies if you select more than one note in different instrument/staves: only those instrument/staves will be played back.

(This works also using Note Performer, where the Dorico mixer solo/mute may not give you the desired result, because NP sends all to the same stereo channel, and you would need to open NP own mixer to do solo and mute)

Here some related Manual pages:

Thanks for your response!

I see the shortcut option-S . but is it correct that this won’t work with Noteperformer? (i also use nppe)

oh I see Christian reacted to the NotePerformer thing. Is not very handy though

In case this is helpful in some way for your NP soloing:
