Re: Dorico 6.10 update!

Yes, it can do all that. And I dare say that the Cutaway feature will also be useful for creating musical 'snippets' on a worksheet or other page of examples.

Re: From Plate to Page with Dorico

Thanks, Harald, for pointing out the errors/omissions. I have done some things intentionally (or perhaps wilfully) differently. that must have been a tremendous lot of work. After switching from (30+years) Finale to Dorico I'm more or less fluent right now and thus can guess the difficulties. As sai...

Dorico 6.0.10 update!

There's a .10 update to version 6, with lots of bug fixes and improvements. https://www.scoringnotes.com/news/dorico-6-0-10/ Notably, Alternative Fingering can now be shown above. Also: holding SHIFT and double clicking on a note will select all notes of that pitch in the voice. My own favourite: wh...

Re: odd chant notation

I suspect it's just a stylized Pes, e.g. lower note, then higher note.

The downward ones I'm less sure, but again probably a Clivis.

Here's a modern version, which is similar, but not identical; though you can see what's going on.

Re: Tantacrul video on Finale

It's certainly true that Finale's interface is (was?) full of inconsistencies, and you would have to do things in different ways in different parts of the app; or do things in several places to achieve one thing. Perhaps MM could have made more changes to the interface, if not the actual "notat...

Re: Dorico 6 released!

@John Ruggero , you've had some of your wishes granted in this release. Shortcuts for Playing Techniques was something you'd asked for, wasn't it?

Re: Dorico 6 released!

I was just telling with someone else that I will soon be explaining that Dorico’s new proofreading function doesn’t replace the need for a human proofreader. Of course, Dorico's proofing doesn't (and can't ) check for "wrong" notes, or missing slurs. (I'm hoping that a future version will...
