Hi!
Pleased to have received Dorico 4, looks great! Question : does it have harmonic analysis (Roman numerals)? I really need this feature handy!
Take care!

No natively (yet), Iām afraid, but there is an excellent solution with a custom font: see MusAnalysis, a new font for RNA and functional symbols
If you use MusAnalysis, the simple version is: Layout OptionsāNote Spacing, uncheck āMake space for lyrics,ā and use the lyric popover to input the analysis. You can set your font in Font Styles.
Thank you, Iāll try that!
Thanks, just bought the font, works really well!
Hello Dan, Thank you for this suggestion of using MusAnalysis font in Dorico Lyrics - which works very well. I initially struggled to find a way of allowing a V7b Roman numeral chord (first inversion of a V7 chord) to be āas writtenā without the b being interpreted as a flat.
Eventually I stumbled on @b , which does the job.
Is this mentioned in the documentation (admission of guilt - canāt find where I put it!).? If not an easily findable post mentioning this could help other users.
Thanks
I feel like an idiot. I just bought MusAnalysis and I have the font installed. How do I change the Lyric font to use it? I am in the Edit Font Styles popup, and in the left column there is nothing that says Lyrics. I added a new thing in that left column and called it āRoman Numeralsā and made the parent the āLyrics Fontā, but thereās still no change from whatever default Dorico is using. Iām on Dorico 4.3. Thanks!
Lyrics are now a paragraph style.
Hi! I think itās in the āparagraph stylesā menu. Check it out and let me know if it works!

Hmm, well unfortunately, I see lyrics in Paragraph style, but I donāt see anywhere to change the font there
Ah, wait-ok, so I just had to tick the font button to access the fonts. Looks like Iām sorted now. Thanks!
Iām sorry to come back to thisā¦ but is there a chance we ever see roman analysis native in Dorico? Even though Danās font is ok and saved my ass, it still feels like a workaround where you might have to write stuff like : 6ā4_43_____2323___23 (exaggeratingā¦).
I use lyrics to write the Roman Numbers and then I add figured Bass with popup. It works well for me. (And can Position and space the lines of Roman Numbers and of figured Bass independently.). Like that I can also create a second line of Roman Numbers if a chord is a pivot* chord in a modulation for example (*same chord with 2 harmonic meanings).
I have a feeling weāll see RNA this next release but only Daniel knows ā¦ presumably itāll be bundled in the figured bass system? Or maybe the chord system would be better. And then āShift-Qā would mean analysis, which makes sense in a Star-trekky kind of way.
Q!!! (Worf) āI am NOT a merry man!ā
Iāve had this feeling for a long timeā¦ I hope you know more than me!
By far the ābest kinda wayā

_ I strongly agree. Roman numerals are used by most students at some point. We study that on harmony textbooks, and turn in the assignments. Sophisticated MusAnalysis can meet the needs for advanced tasks. Some basics can be included in Dorico too. The figured bass is already there, but still need Roman numerals.
Yes, itās absolutely in our plans, and we will bring this feature into a future version of the software.
Is functional analysis (German symbols and translated English symbols) also in your plans? The MusAnalysis font supports it, but there is some incompatibility with Dorico 4. It would be better if Dorico supported it natively.
This post is factually somewhat incorrect. Please refer to the supplementary post:
