I just upgraded from Dorico 5 up to 6 tonight, I have been sleeping on the free trial to give it a go, but I saw the video about the new update 6.0.20, and they added the one thing that I have needed in Dorico for so long which was the ability to make the capo chords smaller, the capo chords being full size has always felt clunky to me. I recently just made a post about the capo chords here a few weeks ago, I’m so grateful Dorico team implemented this. I wasn’t going to upgrade to 6 quite yet, but this feature was pretty much what I wanted most currently, I’m super happy with my Dorico 6 upgrade, thanks guys.

I thought about you and your post when I saw that new feature… You’re a lucky user, some features I’ve been waiting for have not been implemented yet, others have been after six years 
Dorico 6 is really filled with quality of life improvements, I hope you’ll appreciate it (beyond the scalable capo chords). The Team is really listening and the app is constantly evolving for the better.

We got some improved ukulele chord shapes too which certainly saves me a bit of time. You are right, the team engages and the app improves all the time. Thankyou team.
I’m sure you will get your wish one day Marc.

I’m quite confident about it, actually. I think it’s the most awaited feature on this forum… (ties into repeat boxes and equivalent situations).
The vast majority of my wishes have already been implemented (condense multiple instruments per player being the last BIG thing for me)

…and “horizontal compression” is still on your to-do list, IIRC.
Certainly it could make drum parts easier to fit on fewer pages and would be very popular.
I don’t think we’ll ever get that rhythmic compression… This would probably have needed to be integrated in the very roots of the project, I feel it demands one or two more degrees of abstraction. Well, I might be wrong (and that would really be marvelous if I were here), but this is not a feature I find realistic to expect.
