On Windows 10, when I press CTRL+ALT+UP (or DOWN) for octave transposition my screen is turned upside down, probably beacause of Windows 10 default shortcuts.
To avoid this conflict, I tried to change this specific shortcut in Dorico Preferences but it doesn’t work at all, no matter what combination of keys I choose, nothing happens…
The strange thing is that Dorico shows me this issue ONLY with octave transposition; If I change shortcuts for other functions, It will work!. What the hell…??
It’ll likely be your graphics driver stealing the shortcut. See https://helpcenter.steinberg.de/hc/en-us/articles/206845970-Conflicting-Windows-shortcuts-with-Dorico-s-note-input-shortcut
As to customising the shortcuts, what is the specific name of the command you’re attempting to change? There are two different sets of shortcuts for octaves - one set determines the pitch direction of the next note, and the other alters the octave of the selected note(s). I suspect you’re muddling these up.
Thanks for your reply. Regarding the first link you gave me, I have to go more in depth: with Windows 10 It’s a little bit tricky remapping the shortcuts.
Concerning the command i’m trying to change, I’m using the italian version: It says “Su di un’ottava” e “Sotto di un’ottava” which mean “Octave up” and “Octave down” (Look at the attachment, at the moment of the screenshot there was no command for it) Dorico|690x387
Ok, you were totally right. I was muddling the commands. Actually there was another one for octave transposition. I found it. Thanks a lot!!
Hi, 111104,
Could you please let other people (including me) know which command exactly is the right one?
Grazie mille.
Go to "Preferenze → “Scorciatoie da tastiera” → “Modifica delle note” → “Aumenta l’altezza di un’ottava”. Then you can type in your personal shortcut and use that
Thank you, 11104,
That did the trick.
Thank goodness I understand Italian.
