![]() ![]() ![]() Each update has surprised and impressed.Ĭompare to Finale, where in the 8 years since the staff layout changes in F2011, the only real improvements we've had are slightly improved handling of rests and accidentals in Layers, and the latest artic/slur avoidance. It has proved itself several times in going from "no functionality" to "best in class". ![]() Yes, Dorico still has a number of lacunae, but as the team themselves say, they're working on them, and they'll release them when they are ready. and that's before we get to the music! (I've said this before, but truly I can't think of another genre that requires so many facilities.) Music software should have the drawing capabilities of Illustrator the text layout and typographic controls of InDesign it should display, import and export a variety of graphic image formats it must have the MIDI and audio editing capabilities of a DAW, like Logic or Cubase.

So it is getting noticeably better each version since even the workarounds are becoming less cumbersome than they were previously. Obviously the playback sounds kind of funny, nothing like that it actually sounds like, but I don't care so much about that. Previously you could only do that by shortening the stem, and shrinking the notehead and colouring it white. I was able to "fake" aleatoric lines recently without much work by adding glissandi without the text between notes that had the heads, stems and ledger lines hidden. Result All rests in the selection are deleted. Tip You can select rests individually, or make a larger selection that contains the rests you want to delete. I am also able to hide noteheads and stems now, this also was not possible before. Procedure In Write mode, select the rests you want to delete. Obviously I have to chop them up (to adjust for formatting differences between score and part, since the graphic won't "wrap" to the next system) and adjust the positions of the individual pieces of the overpressure symbols in each bar to line them up, but before 2.1 I think this wasn't possible. I am able to add Saariaho-style bow overpressure symbols as images in such a way that they appear both in the score and in parts. Press 'M' to toggle multimeasure rests off Empty staves are now hidden (as expected) Press 'M' to toggle multimeasure rests back on Error: Empty staves are made visible again Expected behavior A multimeasure rest condensed measure should be regarded as equally empty as when expanded. The promising thing is that Dorico's graphics capabilities are getting better over time. What I could do however is import a better arrowhead instead of using the overpressure symbol. It is possible to add arrows as graphics, but the problem is that a graphic won't wrap to the next line. I must have been tired when I wrote that - I collapse a *hairpin*, not a slur, as a workaround. ![]()
