Session Materials
Session 1
Note Input - Dorico file
Take notes
This Word file contains all the shortcuts we’ll use as we progress through the session, along with space for you to make your own notes.
Changing shortcuts
This PDF contains details of how to change the shortcuts for the shadow note during note input, e.g. to be able to move it using just the up/down arrow keys instead of the default shortcuts. Also, how to change the numeric shortcuts for note durations – but be aware that this may make Dorico less intuitive to learn!
