I’m currently on a course and have received a commission that is due Friday morning at latest, so I am in desperate need of a reply.
The problem is that in my violin part I have used the playing techniques pop-over to enter pizz. markings and everything works fine - until I try to cancel it with an Arco marking. Instead, it blatantly ignores this and carries on playing back pizzicato, which, I’m sure you’ll agree, is quite annoying when working to such a tight deadline.
Hopefully someone has a solution!
(BTW I’m using a 15" 2019 MacBook Pro with the latest version of Dorico. The VST instance I’m talking about is the violin I combi patch.)
Your arco is probably in the same rhythmic spot as another marking that triggers a playing technique. A slur, perhaps. At present, Dorico doesn’t handle simultaneous PT commands very well.
Try adding “natural” in an earlier spot and hiding it. You can add it anywhere using the caret in note input mode.
Make sure you only have the item you want to hide selected - if you have e.g. a note and a playing technique selected, only properties that can apply to both are shown, which is usually just the Common group. If you select just a playing technique, the Playing Techniques group should appear
Ahh…I’ve found it. Not to worry, although it isn’t immediately obvious. I thought that clicking on the note-head attached to it would reveal it. Never mind and thanks for your patience.
