Just bought the crossgrade. Bye bye, buggy, puzzling after 15 years of jangling my nerves - what a relieve! Kudos to the Dorico Team!!

5:30 I requested this a year ago and it was the single reason I didn't switch at that point! Great to see that!

Hello, anyone can help, how to copy chord symbols? I can not find any video or information about this. I use Dorico 4 Elements. Thank you.

How about showing how complex jazz chords are notated. Is there a feature which allows the user to set up his own library of often used chords types. Such that all the user has to do is enter a B (for instance), and then go to his library and click on a saved "minor 7th with a flat 5th and a 9th". This information would then be automatically added and properly aligned with the B already entered and waiting above the staff. Can a (-) sign be substituted for (m) to denote a minor chord?

Additionally, since you are marketing a relatively new product which is substantially more expensive than others, it would behoove you to bother to answer questions which are directed to you.

Thank Antony I have Dorico Elements and want to print the chords with the solo part, and it's a layer issue I need to learn to print to a PDF for a musician friend who sight reads solo parts with the chords, fake book style ... but Print Tab doesn't have the chords above the staff ...
