A small change request for double-tapping for dotted notes. I’m encountering this error constantly. Would it be possible to set the double-tap so it’s “broken” by the inputting of a note via MIDI? That is, 5 [note] 5 [note] 5 [note] 5 would always return eighths, no matter how quickly the keys were pressed.
That would fix my issue with unintended dotted notes, and perhaps others’ as well. Right or wrong, I have a habit of re-striking a duration number before entering a note, and if I move quickly enough, I’m triggering the dot. Thanks.
Yes of course, that’s the proper way. I’m admitting I have a firmly established habit of re-striking the duration key before each MIDI note press, and I’ve seen other users say the same.
Double-click and key-repeat time intervals are well established system UI parameters on both Mac and Windows. Dorico should follow the user’s double-click interval for this type of keystroke if at all possible, and in addition what Estigy said.
Double tapping to specify a dotted note duration doesn’t always work for me. Sometimes I have to do “tripple” tapping. (for example pressing 5 for eight notes three times)
Does anyone experience this?
@hpta Yes. Tonight I discovered it anew, that with note input, randomly the dot doesn’t appear with double tapping, or actualy I must say: randomly it does appear. After a lot of taps, suddenly one tap is a hit. Something is not working properly here, that’s for sure.
However, when I start a new file, everything works as expected…
But when I open the file I was working on after that, the problem appears again. It looks like it has to do with the size of the file.
My file is a symphony orchestra with a lot of staffs with independent playing voice playback and sometimes many voices (especially the strings). I hope there will be a solution for this.
I found a solution for the tap problem in the orchestra file, that I mentioned in the last message. When I am in note input mode and tap fast 3 times on a note key (e.g. on the ‘4’ of the numeric keyboard), the dotted note appears in approximately a second.
Is there any way to disable this double-tap-to-enter-dot feature? I use an Arturia Keylab 88 mkII, and I’ve mapped the drum pads to set the various durations by sending a CC message like CC 52 and then adding that as a midi control for “set note duration: quarter note” in Dorico.
This used to work a few versions ago, but now I get a dot since releasing the pad is sending a duplicate CC message. I haven’t figured out how to disable this double-message in Arturia’s software, so it would be nice if Dorico didn’t treat this as a double-tap dot. Right now I have to hold down the pad button for >= 0.5 seconds to avoid the dot, which isn’t fun.
Thanks Daniel for the quick response! I fought with this some more and found a “toggle” mode in the Arturia midi setup, which seems to fix it and only sends a single CC message each time. It does toggle the LEDs on the pads to turn off or on on each click, but I can live with that.
