The Power Button now actually DOES something. This may be most useful to publishers or anyone else with a “company style”. You can also import some of these, or all if you like. The Library Manager function can compare the options that you have set that are different from Dorico “factory settings”, or it can show you the difference between two different scores or projects. There are all sorts of new options for display of music, such as showing how many bars are just repeats of the first bar (like a drum pattern). I have to point you to the Version History file, which I recommend reading in any case, but specifically there is a lot on this type of “musical manipulation”.Įven basic things like Copy & Paste have new uses via Paste Special where you can choose to paste only articulations, or other information rather than the whole bar (or more) as is. Transform now contains all sorts of compositional tools like inversion, retrograde, rhythm options, changing scales into others, and all sorts of things that only a composition major would love. Most of this is based on user feedback and it makes Insert Mode much more user-friendly so thank you to the folks who requested these! A fourth option lets you add music to the end of one bar, extending it (with the time signature changing, or not). A second option moves everything for the player being edited (up to the Stop Line), while a third moves everything for ALL players. One subtle change in adding players is that you can distinguish between single players and soloists, which can be critical in concerti and similar types of music.Ī wonderful addition to Insert Mode is the ability to create a Stop Line beyond which changes will have no effect, so adding notes won’t move others out of alignment. You have more freedom in creating your own templates, ensembles, etc. Command is very similar to setting a shortcut, but with a few more options. For example, you can GoTo to Flows, rehearsal marks, specific bars, and all sorts of other places. The Jump Bar combines all sorts of previous features with a few new ones, but all in just TWO options: GoTo and Commands. There are even pre-set groupings that you can call up with numbers assigned to these. A nice way to fix up or ornament a part without creating clashes within the whole. There are also the channel effects and fader on the left side, so yes, some have moved over from the right side.įilters allow you to edit a sub-set of your score, but still hear the entire ensemble during playback. Each track can show its routing information, with the ability to edit the instrument’s host (e.g. Once again the lower zone can show the Key Editor. Play Mode has been re-written to include more information. Instruments can have inserts, and of course there are amp simulators (heads and cabinets) as well as stomp boxes and other goodies. The Mixer (now F3) can appear in the lower zone or free-floating. Guitarists will be happy to hear that capos are now supported here. VERY handy.Īlso available in this lower zone are instruments: a piano keyboard, guitar and bass fretboards, and drum pads which you can use to input notes if you like. In short, it’s like having Play Mode as well as Write Mode open together. The Link button allows the editors to jump to position changes in either one so that they stay in sync. One example is the Key Editor, where you can use the “piano roll” style along with the MIDI cc controller data to make subtle changes in the notes without losing sight of the score. The Write Mode can now be used with a “lower zone” that can hold different views of the data represented by the notes. you can now merge them into a single part (as they actually SHOULD BE) with all of their appropriate articulations intact! I have been hoping for that for years. There are so many options here I will suggest that you check them out on the new Dorico Help system, but I have to mention my favourite: If you have multiple parts such as Violin Short Bows, Violin Long Bows, Violin Staccato, etc. The Import MIDI Editor is one feature that you may overlook in all the excitement but it has amazing flexibility to split a MIDI file into the orchestra (or other ensemble) that you want. So it’s goodbye e-licenser (dongle or software) and welcome to running on up to 3 computers on one licence. The NEW LICENSING SYSTEM is probably the first thing on most people’s minds as it has been floating around the internet for a while now. THIS IS A MAJOR UPGRADE TO AN ALREADY SUPERLATIVE PROGRAM! I am thrilled to be able to bring you some GOOD NEWS in the midst of some very bad times. The much anticipated version Dorico 4 is now available and WOW! it is sure worth whatever wait you might have had.
