“Click” virtual asst. — love it! How about, since it’s music software, “Click-Hear-y,” “who” just clicks things for you without telling you what or why while talking about random subjects? 😵‍💫😄 ---

> [@NorFont.com](#): > > How about some music and text fonts that do notate nothing in case you want to play nothing. And Pay nothing after published. Although “Doesn’t Pay” already applies to composed music so maybe it is a feature already implemented and duplicate features are not worth implementing. Therefore this feature should definitively be doubly implemented, as it is already not worth implementing, and it produces no worth ($0) by implementing. ---

To switch the notes in two staves (e.g., change Clarinet 1 for Clarinet 2 and vice-versa), hold down Ctrl-Alt-Del-Esc and use Shift+Up (or down) cursor while selecting the range with the mouse. This will work normally if the score is in concert pitch. In transposed mode, the pitches will also retrograde. I believe Finale already has this feature. ---

After watching a video on HALion 7, and how HALion, which is normally a VST instance, also operates as a standalone app, I believe the opposite should be true as well. Dorico, as well as a standalone app, should be available as a VSTi. Then, HALion, in any instance, could load Dorico in a Program slot. Then, an instrument in Cubase can actually be assigned as a VSTi of Dorico itself. Therefore eliminating the problem of data comunication between Dorico and any DAW, because Dorico would be assignable to every instrument in the DAW. Also, in HALion which allows 16+ Program slots, there could be 16+ instances of Dorico-as-an-instrument running at once. Consider the polyphony which is possible from this. ---

> [@judddanby](#): > > Ever heard [John Coltrane’s “Giant Steps”…in C](https://youtu.be/BdvWxf2TQTU?si=CHhcvs8XDIah85gH)? The original audio for that was actually done by a friend of mine (under a pseudonym) who is a great saxophonist himself over 10 years ago. Pretty funny! Pretty old by now, but all the [Hans Groiner](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51bsCRv6kI0) fixing Monk vids are great too, as are the various “shreds” vids. ---
