Write in different sections of score

[eheilner]

I want to be able to be able to view two sections of a score - say mm 1-10 and also mm 200-210. This is easy enough - just open two windows or two tabs.

Now I want to make changes to mm 1-10 but keep the second window focuses on mm 200-210 The problem is that as soon as I do playback on mm 1 the window that was displaying mm 200-210 jumps back to 1.

It appears that all windows & tabs will shift focus to where ever the play head is. Is there any way to avoid/stop this - i.e. can I play back mm 1-10 while the second window/tab keeps displaying mm 200-210?

I did a search for this but came up empty handed - apologies if this has been asked and answered.

Well you could go to Dorico Preferences and untick “Follow playhead during playback”. This should prevent your window of your 200-210 section from syncing to the beginning. The only downside is you would have to manually scroll the window showing 1-10 (if you want or need to).

Excellent suggestion musicmaven. I’ll try that next time. Thanks!
