Write mode
Write mode allows you to input and edit your music, including changing the rhythmic positions of items, changing the pitch of notes, and deleting notes and items. The available toolboxes and panels allow you to input all the notes and notation items that are most commonly used.
Musical transformations
Dorico Pro provides multiple tools for transforming pitches and rhythms, including reversing and inverting pitches and rotating rhythms.
Rotating pitches/rhythms
You can rotate notes, including pitches and/or rhythms, and staff-attached items by a specified number of steps either forwards or backwards, so that, for example, the first note in a phrase’s original pitch is given to the second note, the second note’s pitch to the third note, and so on.
Rotate Pitches/Rhythms dialogs
The Rotate Pitches, Rotate Rhythms, and Rotate Pitches and Rhythms dialogs allow you to rotate the pitches and/or rhythms of selected notes.
