So I’ve been following along to A Hughe’s getting started with Dorico, but keep running into questions that I have not found online or in the tutorial. Can you please help?
What does Anthony Hughes mean when he says use A-G for entering in notes ( Starting your first project | Getting Started with Dorico SE)
How do I select different instruments when recording? (For some reason, when I click on piano, it overwrites the trumpet/melody section.)
How to record over a certain section without losing what you’ve written (How do I record from a certain part in my composition I only see the ability to record from the beginning)
Adding more bars while I am in the middle of recording (If I run out of measures, how do I enable the software to add more measures when I am in the middle of recording? A Hughes mentioned it was possible using a MIDI, which I have, but it stops)
In my recording, what does the red quarter note mean in the trumpet section? (For some melody lines, there’s a red quarter note.)
Welcome to the forum.
Use A-G if you want to enter notes using the computer keyboard. It sound like you have a MIDI keyboard and that’s an alternate way to enter notes.
Read here about real time recording. It says you need to add the measures before you record and press Q to not record over.
The red note may mean out of range, or if voice colors are on–a different voice.
Select note where you want to play from and press P.
Thanks again! I now understand that A-G corresponds to the notes in the staff and am testing it out on my music sheet. How do I pick the octave with the key board?
