Have series of quavers that I’d like to convert to dotted ones, but…some are tied so highliting and pressing the dot make them come out wrong
Can you show a picture?
Are these tied notes that are the duration of a quaver (e.g. two tied semiquavers), or a quaver tied to something else?
Remember that Dorico treats a tied note as one durational thing, so you’re dotting the entire value.
ah, yes. so probably can’t be done.
I’m trying to quickly rectify th feel so the synthesizer V voices will sing with a more swung feel. (though dotted notes are not perfect for this…just a faster way round to demo for my choir)
I guess you have already considered just applying swing to the notes without changing their notated values?
Otherwise (depending on the length of the file) one might select a phrase such as the one shown (which is fairly straightforward) and apply U to untie before applying the dot and then restoring the ties one at a time.
Yes, and this works great in Dorico. Its just that I got synthesizer V after watchinh the video from Dorico, and am using it to create rehearsal tracks. Great for straight 8’s but timing doesn’t work for swung when exporting.
I suppose Synth V would only sync swing to a MIDI export (so far), and that would require typing words in separately, which is no small task.
Yes, I’ve typed in all the words…the problem, or so I’ve been told on the Synth V forum, is that Dorico doesn’t export swing in its midi. It plays normal instruments as swing within Dorico but not the synth V as swing, or the midi
I don’t think that is correct. MIDI exports do reflect swing.
OK, will try again. The first couple I tried didn’t work but I may be doing something wrong.
