Insert mode
Insert mode changes how notes are input and how edits you make outside of note input affect the music. When Insert mode is activated, notes are pushed to subsequent rhythmic positions instead of being overwritten if you input new notes or lengthen existing notes. Similarly, deleting notes or reducing their duration with Insert mode activated pulls surrounding notes closer together without leaving rests between them.
For example, if you input four quarter notes with Insert mode activated, all subsequent notes in the same voice are pushed four quarter note beats back to accommodate the new notes.
Edits outside of note input that are affected by Insert mode include copying/pasting notes, deleting notes, changing the duration of notes including by adding/removing rhythm dots, or inputting time signatures.
-
You can activate/deactivate Insert mode in Write mode by pressing I or clicking Insert
in the Notes toolbox.

Insert mode applies to the selected voices only.
-
You cannot have both Insert mode and Chord mode activated simultaneously.
When Insert mode is not activated, Dorico for iPad does not add extra beats before an existing time signature if you change a previous time signature. When Insert mode is activated, Dorico for iPad inserts beats before existing time signatures to fill the final bar.
