I have two Windows computers with Dorico installed on each. One is a desktop on which I do most of my work; the other is a laptop that I take with me to rehearsals, etc.
I want to be able to keep these two computers in sync. For example, suppose I create a new instrument on one of those computers–say, one that represents an alto recorder in G that is notated analogously to a saxophone, with the printed notes one whole tone below concert pitch. I think I understand how to do that–but is there a way to propagate that instrument to the other computer?
If all user additions to the library are stored in a known folder, I can replicate that folder between the two machines. Can someone point me at documentation that will help me figure out how to do this?
Everything in this folder can be moved to another machine if you want to reproduce the same setup there, but watch out for the preferences.xml file, which contains some machine-specific paths, especially importantly the path for auto-save. If you move preferences.xml to another computer, make sure that the path described within for auto-save actually exists on the new computer.
Yes, that is correct. We are planning to move this data, and a few other similar things, from the Windows Registry (or property list files in ~/Library/Preferences/ on macOS) into files in the user application data folder in future, to make it easier to move them between machines if desired.
