Changing the appearance of slide positions for brass instruments

You can use Arabic or Roman numerals to indicate slide positions for slide brass instruments, such as trombones. By default, Dorico uses Arabic numerals for slide positions.

Note

You must enter slide positions using Arabic numerals into the fingerings popover, even if you have chosen to show slide positions with Roman numerals in your project.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, choose Engrave > Engraving Options.

    The Engraving Options dialog opens.

  2. Click Fingering in the page list.
  3. In the Brass section, choose one of the following options for Trombone slide position appearance:
    • Arabic numerals

    • Roman numerals

  4. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

The numeral style used for slide positions on slide brass instruments is changed project-wide.
