View Play and Write simultaneously?

Hello all,

I was wondering if it’s possible to view the Play and Write at the same time? I would like to adjust some of the play settings while looking at the score.

I have a feeling it isn’t, so what I’ve been doing is exporting a PDF and looking at that while making edits in the play window.

Thanks for any response

Just open a second window:
Menu-> Window - > New Window

In one window switch to write mode and to play mode in the other.

By the way, on Mac there is a little app called ‘Magnet’ that helps you quickly arrange multiple windows on one screen. It’s not free but I think its worth the small price :slight_smile:

Thanks. I do that all the time in Sibelius, Excel, etc. I can’t believe I didn’t think of looking for that, but that’s why I ask the forum!

I’m wondering if there’s a way to have a single window showing the score and the play views.

In 2019, no. In 2022 (in Dorico 4), sure, you can show the piano roll, playing techniques etc. in the lower zone of Write mode.
