Great tips! I had almost given up on Dorico (as a 30 years user of Finale) but these tips gave me the trust in myself that I will get there sooner or later. Thank you!
Thank you! Once the basics are down you can definitely do it! It is hard after 30 years to switch even if you were switching to Sibelius. Thanks for watching!
Hopefully all the brand new users will get to see it! But if you check out my newest tip video I cover slightly more advanced topics and will keep doing so with new videos which will be right at your pace! Thanks for watching!
Woah!!!! Man, your videos are pure gold for (a bunch of) people transitioning from other software. I can’t thank you enough… One little request: could you do a vid explaining how to deal with Engrave mode to add/remove/edit titles, composer/arranger names, page numbering and that stuff? I’m struggling with this but it’s a bit hard… By the way, the “Explode” feature is incredibly amazing. Regards!!!!
Great thank you very much, i Need that i am in a BigBand writing class with Grammy Award Wiking Steven Feike, i have to be very quick in writing in Dorico
@@RetoByell glad I am helping you out! I am releasing a video where I just me writing some big band passages and hopefully there will be some useful tips for you!
Some really great notes here. Been wondering how to exit triplet mode, and if there was a way to change grid subdivision with the keyboard. Epic. Thanks CJ!!
Hey both of those tips are in the video! There are chapters in the description to find those sections if you want to watch them in action. I will summarize here, exit triplet mode with shift+; and the grid subdivision alt+} or alt+{ Hope that helps and thank you for watching!
@@cjrhenmusic oh sorry, I meant that I was stoked to see those tips in the video! Haha. Crushing it with the UA-cam chapters too. Thanks for your service to composerkind
Useful tips, thanks. As a newcomer to Dorico my tip would be to print off a copy of the Dorico Quick Reference Card (2 X A4) as it lists loads of shortcut keys and I always have it handy when I'm inputting. I printed it back to back and laminated it. As users of Dorico probably work with audio equipment of one sort or another, we are likely to notice the audio quality on videos like this. I felt that the audio quality did not quite match the content. It sounded like you were very close to the mic (muffled), EQ needed attention, the level was too low and the chirping background 'music' was an added distraction. I would get some advice from a sound engineer on that one.
I'm working on the mix for videos and just switched my mics and preamps so it is a little dark but I rush to stick to a release schedule as output is the focus right now, I am professional mix master engineer for jazz music awarded in the student downbeat awards last year, and that is to say simply put, I'm better at music mixing than dealing with podcast style audio right now. I did some major tweaking in my 2 videos after this one which should be gradually improving! I appreciate the feedback!
Just following up this is my latest video and I believe my voice sounds way more clear, and eliminated the muffled sound (which unfortunately is mostly just my voice) thank you for watching my videos! ua-cam.com/video/AKXAK_qsm_0/v-deo.html
Great tips here - a little bug bear: your very last tip about exploding a bar: i disagree with the description ‘Polyphonic’. Re. Rhythms were the same and all playing basically the same motif. Therefore this is best described as ‘Homophonic.’ Polyphonic suggests independent voices doing their own thing - such as Palestrina, etc. Great Video.
Very good point, I will add that to my vocabulary. I guess my use of the term for me is like a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square. Homophonic is polyphonic but polyphonic is not homophonic lol. With my background in DAWs I am just use to only using the two terms and think about it a little more on the technical side! Thank you for watching and contributing!
Oh and you got me thinking now haha, I usually reserve my vocab for polyphonic passages to talk about their motion based on the mike tomaro book, makes me wonder if my jazz and commercial background causes different thinking? Again thank you for watching and the thought provoking info!
@@cjrhenmusic I’m coming from the opposite direction: Music teacher who’s taught up to High School level (A’Level and IBDIP Levels). I used to use Sib for all of my stuff but getting to grips now with Dorico. Keep up with the jazz arranging stuff as I am new to this and this is a great learning tool as others have commented. Thanks again.
Ha! I’m sure u r too busy but they should hire you…simple, precise…question; for “delete bars” in the edit section can you create a special key command for that? Looked all over & can’t find it. Thanks
That would be a pretty cool job though... and I found delete bars so you can assign a key command! Go to preferences, then key commands, type "delete bars" into the search and then there will be drop down that says "edit", open it and delete bars should be in there and you can assign a key command or midi command! Hope that helps and thank you for watching!

Dorico's own videos have nothing on you. Best 13 minutes I've committed to Dorico this year. As others have said, simply brilliant!
Thank you! Doricos videos are helpful once you already know what you are looking for, but I am glad I can get you all a head start!
I agree
This video changed my life.
I'm glad I could help out!
Your tips are highly appreciated, you help me getting faster in Dorico. Good work - greetings from Germany.
Thank you for watching and hello from West Virginia!
Fabulastic! Thanks, spot on. So many useful tips for a Dorico beginner coming from Finale. 👍
Glad this video helped you out! I am planning more general Dorico tip videos and one will be out next week. Thank you for watching!
This is pure gold. I'd love to have seen this video seven months ago when I started Dorico. Even now though this is still so very useful. Thank you!!
Hopefully all the brand new users will get to see it! But if you check out my newest tip video I cover slightly more advanced topics and will keep doing so with new videos which will be right at your pace! Thanks for watching!
CJ, kudos and thanks. Your Dorico videos are perfect for us old jazz guys!
Thank you for watching! I have more just like this on the way!

Going over the engrave mode page layouts sounds like a great idea! Thank you for watching!
Brilliant one more Time
Thank you for watching! I keep picking out the most useful tips I can think of and have tons of videos planned!
