Excellent video (video series). I love the interaction of the team with the user base. I love the thorough explanations. I feel very confident using Dorico, and I still learn something from everyone of these videos.

[kayleclements]

Thank you for doing these videos. I always learn so much, even the ones designed for starting out. Cheers!

Thanks John. I would like to see a session that you start from a score with notes and from there you address all possible articulations for all major orchestral instruments (strings articulations, upright bass, woodwinds, brass, percussions) and distinguish which ones are played back correctly by Dorico and which ones require alteration of CC value or key switches to pick a different sample to make them sound right. I think for me personally this has been a grey area for a few years. For instance you mentioned when we add fermata, it actually doesn't stretch the timing for the playback and we need to manually change the tempo. There are different samples of short notes, long notes, staccato notes, etc. so is Dorico picking a different note in each instance based on the notation or just using the same sample and alters the timing internally (i.e. for proper playback still we need to play around with CC value)? For ones composing music in DAW like Cubase, it is clear that the only way is to pick the right sample but since in Dorico we can play back with notation or picking different samples I think this duality creates grey area. I think ideally this could take place with HSSE + HSO (Pro) samples and talk about additional possibilities with platforms that have more articulations like Steinberg Iconica or Note Performer. What do you think?

Many thanks for this excellent tutorial. One thing- how do I make a short cut? Perhaps I missed that.

[GabrielGonzalez-lbch]

How can I write swing equation at the tope of the score?

[caiodasilva]

I want to know how to add a fermata to an isolate note and not to all the notes in the beat.

I’m trying to paste tracks from Logic Pro x .. I’ve created the ensemble template I need but how can I paste the notes [five separate tracks ] onto each instrument in dorico?
Hope you can help :)
