Does Dorico have a printable keyboard shortcuts chart that would make the transition from Sibelius to Dorico easier?
Design philosophy and so on are important of course but ultimately the nitty gritty of creating a score is write mode and would it not be immensely useful to just have a wall chart showing where the main editing function shortcuts are?
This would need to customisable I suppose although the basics of Write Mode would be a good place to start.
There is a diagram of the key commands in the Help pages, which magically shows any customizations that you’ve made!
As far as Write mode: the basics are the “Shift - key” commands, which you can see listed in the Write menu and are mostly mnemonic – T for Tempo, M for Meter, L for Lyrics, B for Bar, etc.
The meta-keys used in combination with the arrow keys are also consistent across the app’s modes and functions: so the arrow keys change what is selected; Alt-arrows moves the selected item; etc.
I’d recommend the Note Entry Tutorial found here:
Stephen, start with the “FAQs/new users start here” thread pinned at the very top of this forum. It lists an array of documents you might find helpful.
As it happens we have just had a Quick Reference Card containing all of the important Dorico shortcuts produced, and we’ll be sending bundles of them to schools who order multi-user licenses. Attached is a screen-resolution version that you can print out.
The physical card is printed on nice stiff B4 card so that it can stand up next to your display. If you can make it to an event where we will be showing Dorico, we will try to have a supply of these on hand and would be happy to give one to you. Dorico Quick Reference Card.pdf.zip (161 KB)
No, unfortunately not. We do have some Cubase merch for sale on the web store, but not all of these kinds of bits and pieces. Once I have some of these myself, if you send me a self-addressed envelope with appropriate postage I’ll be happy to send you one or two!
