Could anyone tell me how to roll back to 4.0.2?
Do you have a backup? If so, you could just restore the app.
Is there a problem with the latest build?
Did you see there was a hotfix to 4.0.31 yesterday? It fixed the insert bug if thatās what you need to work around.
Thanks guys. No , itās something else. I donāt have a backup; hoping for a direct download link.
In Windows itās easy: uninstall Dorico and reinstall the previous version. (Similarly in Mac, I presume)ā¦
I usually store it, but not this time unfortunatelyā¦
Iām Windows 11. I donāt see any place to install previous versionā¦
As I wrote, you must have saved a copyā¦
The last I have is D4.0.30.1059 & SDA VAE 5.0.20.122
Tell me where I can send it to youā¦
Dan, you are making me nervous. Can you tell, why do you want to go back?
Sorry to be cryptic. I donāt want to make a mountain out of a molehill, itās just a small thing related to nudging lyrics that has changed slightly in 4.0.3 (Alt-L/R is a larger offset than it used to be, it seems), and thatās what Iām doing 8 hours a day these days, so I want to go back to 4.0.2 for now. Itās a minor thing, probably just me.
Someone sent me a direct link to 4.0.2, so Iām good to go. Thanks all.
Have you tried alt-shift-ctrl-right/left? Itās super tiny
Yes, itās much too small for most adjustments though.
I find the four nudge increments you get with various key combinations in v.4.0.31 to be unchanged from v.3.5 ā 1/32, 1/8, 1/2 and 1 space. I see the 4.0 User Guide now has a whole section on Properties, on one page of which these are listed.
This is a nice discussion, and prompted me to want to know what the nudge options are actually doing. Iām On the Mac, but wonder if itās the same on Windows; (substituting ācontrolā for ācommandā), I notice the properties panel shows:
alt-command-right/left moves by ā1ā
alt-shift-right/left moves by ā1/2ā
alt-shift-cmnd-right/left moves by ā1/32ā
So, using 2 of the last combination will get you ā1/16ā,
and 4x will get ā1/8ā.
Dan, would creating Stream Deck shortcuts for these make nudging quicker?
I donāt use a Stream Deck for these any more, though I used to use it for that; Iāve mapped these to Q, W, E, and R. Q and R are Cmd-Alt L/R, and W and E are Alt-L/R. Works like a dream.
@Mark_Johnson, Iām afraid thatās not correct. In Dorico 3.5, Alt-L/R moves lyrics by 1/8, and in 4.0.31, it moves by 2/8. Iām not talking about the dialog box, but the actual nudging of the lyrics graphically.
EDIT: darn it, itās changed to 2/8 in 4.0.2 as well. I guess I was still running 4.0.0 previously. Anyone have a link to 4.0 they could share with me? Edit again: thanks Craig!
Sorry; I had tried it myself in both versions, but nudging Shift-X text rather than lyrics. Now I reproduce what you said: Alt moves lyrics Ā¼ space instead of Ā¹āā.
@dspreadbury, could the keyboard command be getting doubled somehow? Or was the increment actually changed?
Another observation: When I Alt-ā/ā in the Offset X spin box in Properties, the lyric moves Ā¹āā space L/R. This could be a workaround, and it could be a clue to the problem.
Iāve tried the new 1/4 nudging for a day, but itās a no-go for me. Itās just too large of an increment; itās impossible to place lyrics where I want them. Every adjustment feels like itās overshooting.
