System breaks in write mode with easy key command?

You can actually build a macro to do the above, and then assign that to a key command for even faster access!

Record the macro of adding a system break in engrave mode as meixner just described.

Or create a plain text file with the following:

local app=DoApp.DoApp()
app:doCommand([[Edit.CreateSystemBreak]])

save as SystemBreak.lua in your Script Plug-Ins folder (search for where this is located on your system). Restart Dorico. Now it will appear under the Script menu command to run as a macro.

You can then assign this to a key command using an external application or if you’re on a mac easily in the keyboard system prefs.
