DORICO FONTS UPGRADE

Holding Alt will copy the selection, instead of moving it. Holding Shift after you start dragging will constrain the movement to one axis. You can now select a range of points in any editor and drag them to a new position. The resolution of pencil points has been increased. There are some further improvements to the function of all the MIDI editors. We have worked hard to make all of the editors more robust, and this is particularly evident in the reintroduced dynamics editor.” Command and Control Some edits in Dorico 3.5 and earlier could be a bit unpredictable and produce peculiar results. Steinberg product marketing manager Daniel Spreadbury, in describing the goal of the Key Editor in Dorico 4, said they intended to “not only to match the functionality provided by Dorico 3.5 and earlier versions, but to add greater capabilities while making the editors feel as good as possible, ideally as good as they feel in your sequencer of choice (which I very much hope is Cubase). You can of course move the dynamic in the score, regardless of any MIDI edits. Thus, you can draw a dynamic curve with the pencil over a score dynamic, but you can’t move a score dynamic’s data into an area where you’ve already made an underlying MIDI dynamic change. Blue regions can overwrite the default score data of a green region, but green regions cannot overwrite existing regions of either color.

Manual edits to the Dynamics lane, using the Line or Pencil tools, will appear in blue. The start and end values of a green region can be adjusted, either horizontally, affecting its position in the score or vertically, changing the underlying dynamic value of either end. Blue regions show where manual data values have been created with either the line or pencil tool, as in the other MIDI data editors. Score markings are also indicated with text at the very bottom of the editor. Green regions show the default data for gradual dynamics in the score. The new dynamics editor, with green and blue regions

The new Dynamics editor works in a similar way to the other ‘play-data’ editors, but with the addition of ‘green regions’.

DORICO FONTS UPDATE

The 4.0.30 update in March restored the Tempo and MIDI pitch bend editors, and now Dorico 4.1, the fourth update within six months, adds the dynamics editor, along with some enhancements to notation, productivity and the interface.

DORICO FONTS UPGRADE

This has left some users with the dilemma of whether to upgrade or not. Due to time constraints, some features had to be postponed, such as editors for tempo, dynamics, pitch bend, and percussion. Editing the editorsĭorico 4.0 showcased a major overhaul of the interface for Play mode, including automation editors for MIDI data.

In addition, perhaps the biggest news for many users today is the announcement of a new “lifetime unlock” option for Dorico for iPad, giving access to all of its premium features for a one-time fee, instead of a regular monthly or annual subscription. This is the first “.1” for Dorico 4 and it brings further refinements to the Key Editor, user interface improvements with more color options, an overhaul of the way lyrics are treated, the ability to print selected flows in a layout, new effects plug-ins, a library export function, and more.Ĭoncurrently with Dorico 4.1 for desktop, Dorico for iPad (version 2.3 if you’re keeping track) is also newly available and updated ( see our related Scoring Notes coverage). Steinberg has released Dorico 4.1, the fourth revision to Dorico 4 after its January release.
