In Dorico, there are no rests, you leave a blank space like in a DAW piano roll where you don't want anything. When you are entering notation in Dorico, it is like you were entering on a piano roll, but it is interpreting it live. You will get a rectangle in your piano roll that is a half note in length on the second eighth of the bar. In your DAW, you can enter a note that is a half note in length on, say, the second eighth of the bar. There are no rests in a DAW piano roll - rests are just places where there are no notes. Notation has ties, but in a DAW piano roll, a series of tied notes is just a single rectangle, a single entity, even across multiple measures. Consider the way in which a DAW piano roll differs from notation. What I feel Dorico is actually trying to do is merge DAW and notation in a closer way than ever before. Tantacrul came to the same conclusion in his video on Dorico, and I don't really think they are trying to force people to use what they deem "proper". I like the direction they are going, but somehow they have to make it possible for us to easily enter stuff outside their view of "normal" without Dorico automatically deleting what we just did while are even in the process of trying to do it.Ĭlick to expand.I think this is a bit of a common misunderstanding (at least, I feel) about Dorico's design in some ways. Not sure how I feel about that and I still have other notational programs here that can get the job done.ĭorico on the other hand has totally awesome sound playback and some other really cool features that I think are really useful and time saving.so.

#Dorico hide rests manual#
Dorico has a lot of "automatic" functionality in it, which I get the theory that they are trying to remove a lot of manual labor from the notation process, but I do think in some cases it is a bit authoritarian and can cause grief when trying to do something on the score in a way that is different then what they have deemed to be "proper".
#Dorico hide rests how to#
I do have to say there are numerous things I really really like about it, but I have also run into a few situations where it was a huge hassle to make a simple thing appear the way I want on the score, in a few cases I couldn't even ever figure out how to do it.

I'm still in experimental mode with Dorico.
