Pop-over text for exponential crescendo

[Hannes_Kerschbaumer]

Hi!

Is there a symbol or letter I can write in the dynmaics-popver to create an exponential crescendo. There is one for “dal niente” but I couldn’t find one for the special endings when writign exponential crecendi.

Thanks!

You mean the flared end? You can write o< or >o for the niente symbol. (letter o)

Thanks Jesele, I was aware of the “o” for the niente.

Yes, I meant the flared end.

[jesele]

OK, I don’t think it’s possible. You could create a script/macro, perhaps. Just, tried. Works well.

[Hannes_Kerschbaumer]

Thanks. Yes, with macros it is possible. I was lokking for a faster solution, because creating aliases for macros is still not possible as I know.

[jesele]

You can have a key command for run last script.

You can create a jump bar alias for a script, but not a key command.

Aliases for custom script is not possible.

I tried it again and it dosn’t work.

If this would be possible I’d be super happy

Aliases for custom script is not possible.

In the Jump Bar, start typing the name of your script, you should find it. (sorry I misread your post)

It’s also possible to add keycommands for scripts, but it requires to manually edit you keycommands_en.json file. A bit tricky but very useful.

Hmm, I wonder if this broke in a recent release. When I add a jump bar alias for a script, I can see that it gets written to jumpBarAliases.ini.

But you’re right, the alias doesn’t work after that, even after restarting Dorico.

[Hannes_Kerschbaumer]

Hopefully they bring this feature back. It would be amazing!
Thanks for your detailed answer!

[Hannes_Kerschbaumer]

This sounds amazing!

I tired but without success. What did I wrong?
I duplicated the code from the “RunLastScript” and added the name of my script. But it doesn’t work.

Thanks in advance!

Here is one of mine (C:/Users/[…]/Hide Tuplets is the Windows path)

{
                  "Script.RunScript?ScriptPath=C:/Users/[MY USER NAME]/AppData/Roaming/Steinberg/Dorico 6/Script Plug-ins/Hide Tuplets.lua" : [ "Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T" ]
               },

I’m not enough an expert to tell you if there is another way, I’m always using this syntax, which actually works!

[Hannes_Kerschbaumer]

Thanks @charles_piano !

I tried to replicate on MacOs, but I couldn’t make it work. I guess the path is different.

Probably a Mac user will chime in quickly!

Meanwhile, FWIW, I find on the forum that the Mac path to the scripts is apparently:

~/Library/Application Support/Steinberg/Dorico 6/Script Plug-ins

Script menu questions

I’m on Mac. Followed your link and: I AM HAPPY! I put this in my key commands_de.json: "context" : "kWriteMode", "shortcuts" : [ { "Script.RunScript?ScriptPath=/Users/hannes/Library/Application Support/Steinberg/Dorico 4/Script Plug-ins/Punktierte 8tel-16tel begradigen.lua" : [ "F16" ] }, This works like a charm! Thank you!

And this one as well:

Artificial Harmonics shortcuts?

You can do this if you’re comfortable editing the JSON file that contains key commands. This file is called keycommands_en.json (where en is the abbreviation for whatever language you have Dorico set to), and it’s located in c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Dorico 5 on Windows and ~/Library/Application Support/Steinberg/Dorico 5 on Mac. Because the current state of this file can differ depending on what key commands you already have set up, I suggest using Dorico to add a key comm…

Thank you so much @charles_piano !! This is the solution!

{
“Script.RunScript?ScriptPath=/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Steinberg/Dorico 6/Script Plug-ins/nameofscript.lua” : [ “Meta+<” ]
}

Hi @Hannes_Kerschbaumer, on MacOS (I still use Sonoma) you can very easily assign a custom shortcut to any menu item (included custom scripts!). As I already explained in this post (possibly not what you want, but it works perfectly and is very easily changeable):

Jump Bar Alias shows but doesn't work

@Hannes_Kerschbaumer There is not jet (very unfortunately) the functionality of adding jumpbar aliases, nor Dorico key commands to scripts. You can currently launch them only through the menu or clicking on the result after a jumpbar search. If you are on MacoOS you can easily assign a shortcut for your custom scripts, via Keyboard>Keyboard Shortcuts>App shortcuts… in System Settings. It works great! (At the beginning of this post you see a screenshot:) If you need to reuse the same scrip…

Thanks Christian! The .json-solution works great!
