Filters

Filters in Dorico allow you to select only a specific type of item from a larger selection. Dorico includes a filter for every notation item.

  • You can find the available filters by choosing Edit > Filter > [Item] > [Item type].

All significant notation items have their own filter, for example, arpeggio signs, chord symbols, key signatures, and playing techniques. You can also filter for note spacing changes.

The following items have multiple filters because they have multiple types:

Notes

Allows you to filter notes, including grace notes, their position in chords, and according to their accidental and pitch.

Voices

Allows you to filter voices according to their stem-direction.

Dynamics

Allows you to filter all dynamics as well as gradual and immediate dynamics.

Tempos

Allows you to filter all tempo marks as well as absolute, relative, and gradual tempo changes.

Lyrics

Allows you to filter all lyrics as well as by their line number, type, and placement relative to the staff.

Note

There is no filter for barlines. You also cannot filter fingerings, beams, articulations, or tremolos, as they are considered part of the notes to which they apply.
