Tutorials – Dorico

Tip: Choose how exported graphics files are named

In Print mode choose to export to Graphics.
You can set the Destination folder to the directory you would like to save the files to.
Click the Filename Options… button to to open the Export Filenames dialog.
Click on the ingredients to build up a filename.
Dorico will add a separator between each ingredient automatically. You can set what this separator should be.
Even add you own text to the recipe.
The recipe will be used for every layout in the project. If you would like, you can click the Copy to All button to copy the recipe to the other file types.
Press OK to apply the changes and close the dialog.
You can print/export all layouts at once simply by making a multiple selection in the Layouts panel on the left side of the window.

First, set your default quantization settings in Preferences, under the Play category.
Choose a quantization unit that matches the duration of the shortest notes you are intending to record. If you will be playing a passage with several tuplets then switch on Detect tuplets, otherwise leave that option unchecked.
Try using Fill gaps which can return better results when using a natural playing style, as Dorico will fill in the gaps sometimes left between notes.
If there are portions of the recording that would benefit from different quantization options, simply select those notes and choose Edit > Requantize and choose the relevant settings.
You can apply Requantize at any time, as many times as you need.

Switch to Engrave mode and insert a new page. By leaving ‘Use master page’ set to None, the new page will be blank.
Switch to Frame editing in the left toolbar and insert a new text frame on your blank page.
Input your text, using the token {@playerList@} to create a list of all players in your project.
Use the text format controls to set the desired appearance of your text.
Press Ctrl/Cmd+Return or click outside the text frame to exit text editing and view your list of players.

Flip practically any music item using the new Edit > Flip command.
This will flip the direction of items within a staff (e.g. stem directions), and move items outside the staff to the opposite side of the staff (e.g. dynamics, lyrics, text, playing techniques and more).
The key command for Edit > Flip is F.
