![]() When you make a graphical adjustment to an item, a horizontal red line is drawn joining the item’s circular handle to its original position (i.e. You can switch between selecting related square and circular handles by hitting Tab. To make a graphical adjustment, first select the square handle above the staff, then select the circular handle that appears on the middle staff line, and use the same key command of Alt+ left and right arrows.Īgain, adding Ctrl (or Command on Mac) lets you make larger adjustments. Pressing Delete will remove any adjustments from the selected spacing columns. ![]() ( review tutorial video starting at 1:47 to see this in action) Adding shift when navigating makes a selection to which you can apply multiple spacing adjustments at once. You can navigate between the handles by using the arrow keys on their own. ![]() The handle and dashed line will turn red to indicate it has a manual adjustment applied. You can add Ctrl (that’s Command on Mac) to adjust the spacing in larger increments. To make a spacing adjustment, select a square handle, hold down Alt and use the left and right arrow keys. You can make two kinds of adjustments to the horizontal position of notes and chords and other items positioned on the stave (for example, key signatures, time signatures and so on): spacing adjustments, which increase or decrease the amount of rhythmic space to the left and right of the item, and which affect the whole spacing column (in other words, all items that start at that rhythmic position across all staves) Īnd graphical adjustments, which move a selected item on a single staff only, in a way that does not affect the spacing of other items. With Note Spacing enabled, it is not possible to select music items, protecting you from making unwanted edits. Once enabled, dashed lines with handles appear on the score to show all of the spacing columns Dorico has created to cast off the music. The toggle to switch on Note Spacing editing can be found at the bottom of the left-hand panel in Engrave mode. Sometimes you may wish to have the freedom to increase or decrease the space between certain notes and Dorico 1.1 brings new special editing features to Engrave mode to support this. Hi, I’m Anthony Hughes, and in this video I’ll be showing you the new features for editing Note Spacing added here in Dorico 1.1.ĭorico uses complex algorithms to lay out your music on the page and this includes determining the note spacing that should be used, so that the music is as legible as possible. Presented here in written form with the kind permission of its creator, Anthony Hughes, this tutorial is titled “How to Work with Note Spacing in Dorico”… This includes percussion instruments, harp, piano, mallets, or any short articulations you wish to use.□ This article is a transcription of one of the excellent tutorial videos posted to the official Dorico YouTube channel. For instruments that use Velocity based dynamics, choose the option for Velocity. There is an invisible arrow that appears when you hover over it, indicated by the marking below. This will allow Dorico to control the Mod Wheel using the dynamics you enter. On this menu, under Expression Maps, choose Modulation Wheel Dynamics. Then press the cog (4) to open up the endpoint setup for this instrument. Make sure the Port and Channel values are set to 1 (3), or to the corresponding channel if you're using multiple instruments within a Kontakt instance for Kontakt-based libraries. Open the drop down for Routing, and then use the following drop down to select the plugin you wish to connect to that instrument (2). Then select the instrument track for which you wish to change, and select the Inspector tab (1) at the top left. The best default choice is to use a legato patch, that way both longs and shorts are covered with one patch. Choose your desired plugin (2), in this case we'll be using BBCSO and load the patch that you wish to have played back (3). Using the plus button (1), create a new plugin in the VST rack. Choose the VST Rack (3) to add a new VST instrument. Navigate to the Play tab (1), and select the instrument you wish to change (2). Open the Dorico file that you wish to add a library to, or create a new Dorico file and add the instruments of your choosing. This article will explain how to use plugins with basic functionality, for more detailed explanation and how to use Expression Maps for keyswitching, see the Dorico manual. As a result, their performance in notation-based software is not as flexible, but still very much possible. Our plugins are designed with the intent of working in a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).
