#Dorico keyboard shortcuts manual

It’s far, far faster to enter notes in Dorico than it is with Staffpad.īut with the flip-out panels open and the piano keyboard on the bottom, note entry is quick enough when holding your ipad like a large notepad. Although it must be said, if speed of entry is your priority, the Dorico interaction model makes total sense. I can’t say this makes total sense to me on a mobile application but it’s been brought up many times on the Dorico forum and the design team doesn’t want to shift on their decision. Not a huge learning curve to go from one to the other, so I think I can say goodbye to Notion now.īy design choice, Dorico isn’t optimized for stylus use (and there are no optimizations for Apple Pencil). So far I'm much more impressed than with Notion. Not a huge learning curve to go from one to the other, so I think I can say goodbye to Notion said:

#Dorico keyboard shortcuts manual

I looked at the manual and saw the key assignments, but think I'll mostly be using it on iPad, so will use an Apple Pencil to input notes. The main thing you have to remember is that you enter the note duration first, then the note.Ĭool, I might give that some thought. And that simple set of keyboard shortcuts will have you entering notes on the stave as fast as you can think of them. As you'll see from the quick reference card (which can be downloaded from the link below), the key Dorico keyboard bindings are heavily optimised for the number pad on a full-size keyboard. And it really makes sense to purchase one of these (below). Just be sure to register it, even if you stick to the free version. I’m going to try this (I don’t think I need a subscription as I usually just create piano scores for myself), and hopefully it’s a good quality replacement. Right now I’m no longer able to create new documents with it, even after deleting the app, rebooting, reinstalling the app, and rebooting again. I’ve been getting really frustrated with Notion lately, as quality control for updates has gone down the toilet.
