Question about Dorico "default slurs for grace notes"
Posted: 10 May 2023, 08:14
My student has given me permission to post this examples from his score on the forum. This piece was created using Dorico, however, it appears that the default parameters have not been modified, resulting in several erroneous elements in the output.
1) The slur associated with the "resized" note-head is also subject to resizing. I have often pondered the reason behind music software incorporating a "resize" function for grace notes. Given that grace notes are a distinct musical element, they cannot be classified under the category of resizing. Rather, they have their own unique size relative to the staff. Furthermore, the software should refrain from resizing both the stem width and slur when dealing with grace notes.
2) The positioning of the slur beneath the baseline of the main note in the given example is incorrect. In order to give a more clear output, the slur associated with a grace note should have a "floating" attribute, rather than a fixed one.
Anyone else having Dorico, can you confirm this?
