Re: Dorico slurs and beams

Using the new Library Manager, it should be easy enough to import these into any project file without affecting any other settings. Thanks for posting! I stole your hyphen settings. I guess my default differs a bit from the factory settings :lol: :lol: :lol: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5187...

Re: Dorico slurs and beams

"Fred", don't you love the white on black? It's so easy on the eyes. Not. :lol: I actually do like "dark mode" and use it on most of my devices/apps. I've been wearing progressives though for a few years now and just recently got my first pair of music eyeglasses. My eye doc cal...

Re: Dorico slurs and beams

Re: Dorico slurs and beams

You can get pretty close by simply tweaking the settings.
