    I've been using Dorico for a long time, this is very helpful. There were some key shortcuts I did not know about. Thanks

    I sincerely appreciate the efforts you are making to help the rest of us transition to Dorico. Thank you!!!

    Glad you started showing enter/return to input notes instead of Shift+N. Keep up the good work. Its great to see you quickly picking it up.

    If you double-tap the numeric duration key, you get a dotted duration, which is useful. And T ties notes.
    To delete unwanted measures at the end of a piece, Dorico has a "trim" function.
    A particularly powerful shortcut is 'J', the jump function. If you're not sure where to find a function, tap J and start typing what you want to do, then select the right item and it will do it.

    In addition to Command 2 to get to Write mode, Command + Option + 2 Switches you to Galley view. This is the same as Finale's Scroll View, which is great for composing / pageless writing. Also useful in this mode is that you can see all instruments that may be doubled by a single player. To change between instruments, just write on the appropriate line, and the layout will handle notifying the player to switch instruments. Command + Option + 1 will get you back to the page layout version of the view. (These are the first two options under the view menu as well)

    Yes, please do a video or videos on imputing and engraving non standard notation. I have invented a few very very promising notation systems and would love to share them, all the more if I could imput them and it will play back the audio.
    I would have a new tonalty system of a stretched octave Pythagorean just intonation (some multiple of 665 ET or at most 15,601 ET to acheive this tuning). I would need colored note heads (Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Violet), a 2 line treble clef and a two line bass cleff, with only two positions on the staff (space and line) before the third position would be the octave of the first note, Colors going "up" the rainbow on the same staff position would go up in pitch by a 9/8 whole tone up to violet, to go up a whole tone from there you go up two staff positions and start again with a red note head. All rhythm would be allocated to the tails of note heads, they would need to be custom engraved or made in the program, and every note head would have a tail for all rhythms. And there would be "up" and "down" accidentals only, which would be turned arabic numerals, which also would have colored versions for comma pumps beyond 9, so that all accidentals would be only one character. Also putting these accidentals into "key" signatures, of which there would normally only ever need to be two at any given time; as well as have versions followed by a colon if the accidental was for that note only.
    I am not sure if this is possible in Dorico, and for it to play back what I enter, but this would be huge if i could because from my testing of this idea on paper, a grand staff would be 4 lines and cover way more range than the normal ten line grandstaff, AND it would take up less space on the page, and the note heads could be bigger as a result and still take up less space while being visually easier to read, even at a distance, with very very little accidentals because the grand staff sheweth a 12 tone chromatic scale with no accidentals. Only with certain key changes would accidentals be needed and again only ever 1 or sometimes 2 at a time in normal cases as each accidental (withour a colon following it) would pump every note on every space, if it was on any space, or pump every note on a line on every line if the accidental appeared on any line.
    This system also worketh in black and white too if a man hath not colord pencils while writing, or is colorblind. The note heads would only be made to be the letters which correspond to one of the six colors.
    R for red
    Ǝ for yellow
    G for green
    B for blue aka cyan
    Ɂ for indigo aka blue
    V for violet
    Anyways, not saying your video neededth to make this in the program necessarily, but to cover the basic functions which could allow me to make this, or other types of alternate notations.

    Dear Mathew, congrats! Nice and detailed videos. I have a question about the atonal and the microtonality. When I write "Atonal" on a measure, this remains only for that moment. Do you think I should write this on every measure? Because in Finale, this change applied to the whole work.

    • @mathewarrellin
      @mathewarrellin  2 місяці тому +1

      it should work until you have another change. Sometimes it switches off if you don't follow a particular series of steps. So, first select the measure, then select the tonality, then Shift+K, type "atonal", then click return/enter and it should make the change for the whole work

    8:45 to move notes right or left by the grid, you do NOT need to enter note input mode. Just select and use the keyboard commands to move it

    Hi, these videos are truly helpful, so I hope you'll continue. As a new user, one area I'm unclear on is how to use my external VST libraries within Dorico. I own Spitfire's BBC Symph Orch. and Orchestral Tools' Berlin Orchestra. It appears you have to create expression maps to utilize external VSTs fully. It would be great if you tackled that subject area. Thx for your efforts!

      @@mixedupfilesmusical4038 Yes, but my understanding is that you need to either: 1) set up an "Expression Map" so that, for example, the violins will play the correct articulation, or, 2) you need to use Noteperformer's 'Noteperformer Playback Engine' to execute the proper articulations.
      I.e., if you just load in BBCSO's violin 1 "Longs" patch, and in your score you want the violins to play pizzicato in a certain passage, then BBCSO will not trigger the right key-switch to play pizz., that is, without some sort of Expression Map, correct?

    At 4:04 your onscreen text says "...when not in note-input mode", but it should say (and the video at that point demonstrates this) "...when in note-input mode"
