I don’t know if anyone can enlighten me on the following please? I am trying to show the fret of a bend after releasing it, but get the result in example one which has no number or brackets. The example in Two shows a previous score excerpt in Finale which shows the release note fret in parentheses. I can’t see see anything that would allow me to do this in Engraving Options > Guitar Bends. Any ideas? Thanks.One.pdf (118.1 KB)

I’ve had a bit of a poke around, Nick, and I’m afraid I don’t think this is one of the appearances that Dorico supports at the moment. Dorico will show a parenthesised number for a bend and release, but not for a downward bend.
Thanks Daniel. Might this feature appear in a future update?
It might, yes, but not imminently.
Hi Daniel, It is some considerable time since I posted this and I am still unhappy with the results I’m getting. More importantly my students find it confusing. Is there any likelihood that this might be implemented sometime soon? It is something I am able to accomplish in other notation software that I use or have used in the past and it removes some confusion. Many thanks.
I’m sorry to say that this is still on our backlog, but not yet implemented, Nick.
Hi Daniel, Thanks for your prompt reply. This is disappointing. I am still very reluctantly using Finale to do some of my transcriptions for this sole reason. I love Dorico and really don’t wish to use anything else. To my mind, this omission is significant and out of step with every other transcription programme that I have tried. In the penultimate bar of the attached, the red number in brackets I have added clearly shows the release fret giving the reader visual clarity. I realise that programming is not always as easy as it may appear to the end user but after three years I was hoping that this may have finally been made available in the engraving options as a global option.
