Tip: Key commands for starting playback

by | Jul 16, 2019 | Tutorials | 1 comment

 

  1. Press Space to start and stop playback. Playback will start from the current position of the playhead.
  2. Use Shift+Space to play from the previous start position.
  3. Shift+Alt+Space will start playback from the beginning of the flow.
  4. Make a selection then press P to start playback from that rhythmic position.
  5. Make a selection on more than one staff and press P to play just those staves.
  6. Press Alt+P to move the playhead to the current selection.
  7. You may wish to turn on visibility of the playhead even when playback has stopped. You can do this on the Play page of Preferences.

    Hi,

    I’m new to Dorico so please bear with me, but in my experience Alt+Shift+Spacebar starts playback from the beginning of the whole project. I’d really like it so that when I’m working in Flow 4, I can press a shortcut to start from that flow. Is that possible?
