Dorico 3.5 Version History Page 2 Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH Dorico 3.5.10 27 July 2020 Improvements Bar numbers O Engrave mode editing. If bar numbers are shown in multiple locations in the system, it is now possible to move each instance of a bar number independently, and it is possible to drag them with the mouse in Engrave mode. Chord diagrams Default chord shapes. When Dorico chooses the initial shape for a chord diagram, it now prefers an open shape if possible, or failing that easier barré shapes, and prefers not to offer shapes with several muted strings, if possible. Condensing O Accidentals on condensed staves. A new option Accidental visibility overrides has been added to the Condensing page of Notation Options, allowing the value of the Accidental property on uncondensed music to be propagated through to condensed staves. Expression maps Playback Options overrides. It is now possible for expression maps to define overrides for playback options, allowing different playback options to be used for different sound libraries or even patches within the same sound library. A new Playback Options Overrides section has been added to Play ▶ Expression Maps, in which most Playback Options appear. Activate the slide switch to specify that a given option should be overridden for this expression map; the default value shown will be the current value as it appears in the dedicated Playback Options dialog. User interface. When you click Cancel or hit Escape in Play ▶ Expression Maps, Dorico now prompts you whether you want to discard your changes or keep editing NotePerformer. When opening a project that uses the NotePerformer playback template, Dorico now sets up appropriate overrides in the NotePerformer expression map for Playback Options to ensure they continue to play back identically. Multiple notes at the same pitch. A new option Allow multiple notes at same pitch has been added to the Expression Map Data section of Play ▶ Expression Dorico 3.5 Version History Page 3 Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH Maps, allowing you to specify whether or not the playback device can cope with multiple notes of the same pitch being triggered. Action offsets. The actions required to trigger playing techniques, dynamics and so on – such as MIDI controller changes and key switch notes – are now offset as needed to take into account any offset to the note at the same rhythmic position, to ensure that they take effect from the correct note. Default note durations. In newly created projects, the default unslurred playback duration is now 95% of its notated duration, and 105% of its notated duration for slurred notes. Playback techniques. The Edit Playback Playing Techniques dialog has been renamed Edit Playback Techniques, and can now be accessed via the Play menu as well as via the Edit button in Engrave ▶ Playing Techniques. Figured bass Compound intervals. You can now type numbers up to 19 in the Shift+G figured bass popover, making it possible to express compound intervals (intervals greater than an octave), which can be useful for showing specific voicings. Some editions choose to show compound intervals in their simplest form, using the figure appropriate for the first octave rather than the second, resulting in figures appearing out of order. For example, a stack of figures reading from top to bottom 19, 10, 8 might instead be shown as 5, 3, 8. To obtain this same appearance in Dorico, activate the new Show compound intervals as simple property in the Figured Bass group in the Properties panel. Suspensions and holds. It is now possible to specify the duration of a hold or suspension in the Shift+G figured bass popover by appending an instruction to the popover input text, as an alternative to modifying the duration of the hold or suspension using the Properties panel. For hold duration, append d= followed by the duration; for suspension
