popup position / slash notation ...

You can also double-click on the staff in the appropriate bar to show the caret there: just don’t click on the note itself.

Great ! Didn’t thought about that neither Now that makes it really easy. I take back everything I wrote about ‘tied notes’

If I find a user interface consistent and logical, it’s pretty much guaranteed that we’ll become friends.

A basic rule of thumb of good user interface design is that it gives you feedback to your actions. “Don’t make me think” is the main principle. Open or save a file and it should give you some progress indicator (or any sign that it’s doing something). Click a button and it should show you the state of it (active/inactive).

Likewise, press a keyboard shortcut and a good UI will react in some way. If you press the keys and you don’t get any feedback because all the action takes place outside of the viewport, that’s confusing at best.

This IS admittedly what I find whenever I print from Print Mode - there’s no explicit reinforcement that it “worked” unless I then find and separately make visible my particular printer’s print window - might be nice for Dorico to at least put that window in the foreground when printing first goes through (just as a reinforcement that something is actually happening?) Quick two cents (though not sure if this is just a Mac-specific thing that’s happening).
