I have a question regarding the proofreading checks: it often happens that, in an orchestral score, the system flags a repeated dynamic (identical dynamics) between the two flutes, or oboes or clarinets as an error. However, when I enter the parts, surely I have to specify the dynamic for each one, don’t I? Why is this considered an error?
This significantly increases the number of false alarms and slows down the browsing experience, as you have to click ‘ignore’ every time.
I’m not sure I’m following what you are witnessing here. I don’t get that proofreading message in either of these scenarios when turning Condensing on/off:
I don’t know if PR is pointing the pp vertically, or the pp horizontally (pianissimo already written in the measure 1), but Ravel write this way and I am not authorised to change anything.
It’s horizontal, it’s a per‑instrument remark. The PR is telling you that you’re repeating the pp (it’s already in bar 1 and repeated in bar 3). Note that there is nothing for Hautbois and Cor anglais, because they start on bar 3. Just ignore it
I recommend creating an easy shortcut for “ignore”, it’s very handy!
(Single keystroke here, a very French one: ù ! And it’s by the way a toggle.)
I usually don’t care about that either. Incorrect bar lengths and Instrument ranges are the two that I care the most about. And honestly, I only care about Instrument ranges on the low end of the instrument. I know about the upper end, it’s only if I transpose down and am sloppy that I like the range notifications on the low end.
To be perfectly honest, I’ve only just discovered this in Dorico’s preferences; I’d looked everywhere for the PR settings in the options, without success.
Thank you for your recommendations; I think I’ll uncheck quite a few things that wouldn’t be useful to me and for the score I use to engrave.
