Second apostrophe bug on Dorico 4

In a future version of Dorico we will introduce a simpler way to input arbitrary Unicode characters in the text editor, using a method that is implemented in WordPad and Word on Windows. Try this in WordPad (installed by default on all Windows computers): start a new document, then type 2032 and type Alt+X. 2032 will be replaced by the single prime character.

This is not something that Dorico supports today, but it’s something that will arrive in the next version when it comes.

Thanks!

Solution for this topic:

  • To add primes: Copy and paste this on Project Info: ′
  • To add apostrophes and have a period: Hold Alt and press 0146 or 0148, on the numeric keyboard (not on the numbers above the letters) on Project Info.

No, I think the solution is to update your Dorico to version 4.3.20.

As far as I understood, the new version has primes for the flow duration token, but not for info in Project Info. So, updating would not be a solution.

This is how a Unicode glyph is announced. Now you know that U+2032 is the Unicode glyph number 2032. That is all…
