Nuendo 14 - How to import existing Dorico project?

Obviously we are in brand new days and so working out some bugs, but this is the feature I’m most excited about. I just tried to import a large Dorico project in to Nuendo. Nuendo created a new project with name of the Dorico project but it’s completely blank…So, what do I do to make this work?

We’ve found an issue where the import fails if you have a project where the first flow was deleted (which can happen if you are importing Flows or XML into existing Dorico projects). There are a couple of workarounds:

How do you “copy the contents” of a large Dorico project with multiple flows and tons of players?

For the moment it may be easier to export the MusicXML, but you may be able to do it in a different way:

  • Create a new Empty project
  • Import the flow from the project you want, which now be the second flow in the new project
  • Copy the contents of the second flow
  • Paste into the first flow (may require Tacet rests to be turned off in Layout Options)
