Chord symbol input options for MIDI keyboards

There are different possible settings for how Dorico Pro interprets the notes you press on your MIDI keyboard when inputting chord symbols.

You can find these options on the Chord Symbols page in Write > Note Input Options. The available options include:

  • Whether you want Dorico Pro to consider the inversion in which you play a given chord, or write the chord symbol as if it had been played in root position

  • Whether you want Dorico Pro to notate omissions. For example, if you play C and E, it could be notated as C or C(omit5)

  • How you want Dorico Pro to notate added notes and suspensions

  • How you want Dorico Pro to handle complex enharmonic relationships between roots and altered bass notes
