I am having problems to get the shake notation playback work in Dorico with Noteperformer/NPPE Synchron. I am using the symbol from the Jazz section as it states Shake (Jazz Turn) in the NP documentation, not the one from the Baroque and Classic section. Nevertheless, for both I did not hear any note shake during playback.
My understanding is that Dorico does not yet have any playback for shake notation in place and therefore Noteperformer uses its own implementation to playback the quick note change to and back from the upper note. Basically a âsimilarâ way of implementation like Noteperformer handles the trills. Is this correct?
What am I missing to make the shake sound like a shake?
The trill (tr) is working as expected in NP and NPPE.
What I found out:
I removed the NPPE and played the Shake (Jazz Turn) with NP only, this also works. So the problem then seems that NPPE has not yet implemented this articulation in the same way as trills have been implemented. Maybe @Wallander can support on this?
A good workaround is to Right-click>Staff>add staff above. Notate your ornament. Right-click>Staff>Manual visibility Hide it (or even remove it) the notes will still play! Supress playback of the note on the original staff.
Solution at the moment: it is not supported by NPPE as libraries do not have any samples for this. For trills NPPE uses the librariesâ trill samples.
So Janusâs proposal might be the best fit at the moment.
