Hello to all,
I don’t know if this counts as a feature request, but I haven’t found the “solution” I was looking for on current threads.
When adding “sus” to any chord, Dorico will automatically default to “sus4”. I’m aware that this can be turned off by toggling the option to display all “sus4” chords as simply “sus”, though my issue is that in my experience a “true” sus chord and a sus4 are not the same chord. For example, I’ve learned that a “Dsus” is interpreted as a C/D chord since you would suspend the 2nd, 4th, and 6th. In some tunes I’m writing lead sheets for, I find myself wanting to have some “sus” chords, but I also want some “sus4” chords (which will not appear if I turn off the “sus4” function.
I understand that I could simply write it as C/D as a workaround, though sometimes when engraving something for a client, I would need the option to use multiple different suspensions. I personally find it would be nice if one could enter “sus”, “sus4” or “sus2” as needed. Am I alone in this, or does this resonate with other users?
I want to take a moment to thank the whole team for all the work you do. As an ex-user of another notation program which will remain unnamed, I’m always so thrilled with the ease which Dorico allows me to feel when working on scores. Cheers!
