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

Inputting vibrato bar dips with the panel

You can input vibrato bar dips using the Ornaments panel, 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 each staff at the rhythmic position where you want to input a vibrato bar dip.
In the Notations toolbox, click Panels , then Ornaments to show the Ornaments panel.
In the Guitar section, click Vibrato Bar Dip .

Result

During note input, vibrato bar dips are input at the caret position.

Vibrato bar dips added to existing music are input on each selected staff, at the rhythmic position of the earliest selected either note or item, according to your item input position setting.

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