Introduction
Dorico concepts
Dorico is based on a number of key concepts that come from its design philosophy.
User interface
The user interface of Dorico Elements is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible while keeping all of the important tools at your fingertips. This chapter introduces you to key aspects of the user interface.
Project and file handling
In addition to opening and importing/exporting projects and other file formats, project and file handling also includes auto-save and project backups.
Setup mode
Setup mode allows you to set up the fundamental elements of the project: instruments and the players that hold them, flows, layouts, and videos. You can also determine how they interact with each other, for example, by changing the players assigned to layouts.
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.
Layout and formatting
There are various ways you can control the layout and formatting of pages in your project, including changing the size of pages and adjusting note spacing.
Play mode
Play mode allows you to change how your music sounds in playback, including by changing the playback template and assigning VST instruments, inputting automation, adjusting the mix, and changing the sounding duration of notes in playback without affecting their notated duration.
Print mode
Print mode allows you to print your layouts or to export them as graphics files, such as PDF and SVG.
