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.
Notations input
You can input many types of notations, both during note input and by adding them to existing notes and music. In Dorico for iPad, notation is a broad term that includes many different items, including articulations, slurs, dynamics, and more.
Input methods for guitar bends and guitar techniques
You can input guitar bends (including pre-bends and post-bends), vibrato bar techniques (including dips, dives, scoops, and dives and returns) and tapping, hammer-on, and pull-off indications with the keyboard by using the ornaments popover, and with the mouse by using the Ornaments panel.
Inputting vibrato bar dips with the popover
You can input vibrato bar dips using the ornaments popover, both during note input and by adding them to existing music.

Inputting vibrato bar dips with the popover

You can input vibrato bar dips using the ornaments popover, both during note input and by adding them to existing music.

Procedure

In Write mode, do one of the following:
- Start note input.
- Select an item on the staff at the rhythmic position where you want to input a vibrato bar dip.
Open the ornaments popover in any of the following ways:
- Press Shift-O.
- In the Notations toolbox, click Popovers , then Ornaments .
Enter vibdip into the popover.
Press Return to close the popover.
Optional: During note input, input a note or press Space to advance the caret and input the vibrato bar dip.

Result

During note input, vibrato bar dips are input at the caret position. When adding vibrato bar dips to existing music, they are input at the position of the earliest selected item.

By default, vibrato bar dips have half step intervals, are placed above the staff, and only appear on notation staves, not tablature.
