![]() ![]() Only the suffixes that appear under the grid and can be selected can have a project-wide change. The documentation implies that any chord symbol suffix can have a project-wide change in appearance, but this is just not true. The fact that there is a global suffix editor for some suffixes (but not others), and the only way to access it is to first create an individual override, is very confusing. The factory defaults for the minor minus, the dim circle, 6/9, and major triangle are poor, so many users will understandably want to immediately change these. (Just counting basic “white keys” plus sharps and flats, that’s 21 overrides required for each suffix in a template or default file, not counting double sharps or flats.) No one wants to either edit each chord individually, or create chord overrides for every single root as this is a huge waste of time. The lack of an obvious global chord symbol suffix editor is very confusing for new users. One of the best features of Dorico is the responsiveness of the developers, so if you don’t mind me using your thread, I just wanted to summarize some of the issues encountered as they do read all the threads. Once again, thanks so much for your time and effort.īetween your thread here, and questions on this thread, there was obviously a lot of chord symbol confusion on the forum today. It seems to me that Dorico needs someone on their staff who is well experienced in the practical requirements of commercial arrangements/composers/musicians who have to produce the goods fast and efficiently and, as many of my colleagues are also finding, Dorico just isn’t cutting it. Maybe it’s a great program for the intellectuals but for us freelance, working musicians, out in the field, where time and efficiency are everything, it’s a dead loss. ![]() It seems Dorico have got so much right and yet have over complicated some of the most basic tasks to the point it’s intolerable. To me, this is such basic stuff and shouldn’t be this way. I’m under huge pressure and tight deadlines all the time. I just don’t have the time or inclination to deal with all this. I decided to update to Pro 4 and give it another shot but, seeing all this, I think I’m going to give up again. I gave up on Dorico when it was the 2nd version because it was just too complicated. Once again, I really appreciate your amazing help. ![]()
