Dear All,
I am one of the lost souls who has come from Finale. In Finale it was possible to use a midi keyboard and input notes NOT in real time. You play the note on the midi keyboard and press a number on the computer keyboard and the note appears with the rhythm you have specified.
I have just bought dprico 5.5 .51
I thought this was possible in Dorico, but I can’t find it anywhere.
Can anybody help me with this.
Yours in hope,
Geoffrey
Welcome to the forum, Geoffrey.
It is possible to select Pitch before Duration in Preferences > Note Input but I highly recommend to take the time and get used to “native” Duration before Pitch.
I’m also just transitioning from Finale, so I’m not trying to convince you as a long term Dorico user.
You can just use K to switch between the two modes. If you’re entering a string of notes of the same duration, it’s faster just to play the notes on the keyboard, rather than re-press the same duration every time.
I’d recommend watching some of the many videos about Note Entry in Dorico – not least John Barron’s session yesterday.
