Adding a number of playing techniques for lets say strings it would be better if the dialog could remain open until you’re done.
Let’s look at the workflow. We start when you are ready to save the first one and to go on with the next:
Current behavior
- clicking OK closes dialog (unfortunately)
- select Playing techniques from menu
- select Strings from the dialog menu
- click on plus sign to start the next
Suggested behaviour
- Clicking OK save the new defined playing technique but doesn’t close the dialog
- click on plus sign to start the next
- When all the new techniques are defined, click on the new button “Close”
Alternative behaviour
Dorico remembers that user was working on Strings, so when dialog opens up again Strings are selected.
I like to add that for me as a composer the task of creating new playing techniques is always done during writing music which means switching from Write Mode to Engraver Mode. Therefore an enhancement of the UI would be much appreciated.
The editor itself is really impressive! One enhancement here would be that when selecting an already used glyph the list of glyphs would switch to that glyph in that font.
Thanks
