Can anyone please tell me how to achieve a tempo marking combining the rather limited options in Dorico? I want to mark Allegro con brio.
Shift-T, Allegro con brio, Enter.
Shift-T doing nothing here.
Did you select a note first? You have to tell Dorico where to put it.
Ah right - thanks!
The options available in the Tempo panel are in many senses just a “starting selection”, as you can enter any and all text you like into the tempo popover.*
*some words are parsed to identify different types of tempo, such as “mosso” which Dorico interprets as a relative tempo change.
