Almost two years of constant use of Dorico and I still come back and find these videos absolutely useful for whatever I happen to be stuck with. Thanks always John!
Another great tutorial explained with great clarity and sympathy. I'm a very happy user of Dorico for a few years now, version 5 is superlative. Thank you :)
Thanks so much for this video! While I thought I understood page templates pretty well, this opened up a whole new chapter in using templates more effectively (without manual overrides). Kudos to you and the whole team!
This is so much better than it used to be -- but working with frames is still Intensely annoying if you're expecting standard controls to work. You can't select multiple frames and then apply changes to them all; you can't copy and paste a frame or duplicate a text frame; you can't format text within a text frame independently of other text in that frame. I hope these standard text and string manipulation actions are on the roadmap!
Great video!! I have one question: If I have multiple WW or Brass of the same instrument, the "instrumentation lists" tocken put it every flute and every trumpet separately (Flute 1, Flute 2, Trumpet 1, Trumpet 2, etc.); so, is there a way to "condense" them (2 Flutes, 2 Trumpets, etc.) in the instrumentation list tocken?
In a project we are working on, is it possible to use a clipboard folder as is done in Sibelius? Or do you have to collect them in a flow and retrieve them from time to time? If so, is there already a tutorial?
one small thing I am missing is for longer titles. It has happened to me a few times, that I had a longer title and needed to split it into 2 lines at a specific place (requested by the editor). I would wish there was a way to define in the project info where there should be a line break in a title or subtitle. until now I always had to work around using extra tokens...no super big deal but I still hope this can get optimised...
Although you can't enter line breaks into single-line text fields in Project Info directly, line breaks are retained if you copy/paste text with them from elsewhere - such as another field in Project Info that accepts multi-line entry (like "Other info") or a text editor of your choice
It´s common practice to start the music on page 1, and that has to be an odd Arabic number after the front matter pages (usually Roman numerals pages).
When I to write-click on my "musical excerpt" int he "front matter", the "page size" options are grayed out, and custom is not visible at all. And this is true in everything I open in Dorico Pro 5.1.32.2114 . The right-click functionality for staff size is grayed out in every project I open. Also, when you use this feature, what other layouts doe sit affect? Would it affect the part layouts in the orchestral score? Because the manual says it affects layouts project-wide.
Does it help if you do a browser refresh, or temporarily disable all browser plugins, or try in a different browser? Maybe there's a plugin (broken?) that's still blocking content? I've seen issues before where a plugin was only playing the audio from the video but the video was blank.
For non-English speakers, if the videos have subtitles, even if only in English, it is easier to understand. Could you please enable them? We need your tutorials.

Thank you so much for the video! Would it be possible for you to share a link with a Dorico file example of a project with a title page?

You can do that too

Can you please get in touch via the Dorico.com/forum with more details of the issue please?

Thanks - we've just added chapter links and set it to 1:50 but it should be easier to jump around now.
@@dorico thanks for the content! Even though I'd been doing some of this already, you still managed to speed up my workflow!
I've allowed adverts on CZcams (adblock and ghostery) but the content fails to load. What's going on?
Does it help if you do a browser refresh, or temporarily disable all browser plugins, or try in a different browser? Maybe there's a plugin (broken?) that's still blocking content? I've seen issues before where a plugin was only playing the audio from the video but the video was blank.
without subtitle?
It’s possible that it takes a little time for CZcams to add auto-generated subtitles to livestreams.
For non-English speakers, if the videos have subtitles, even if only in English, it is easier to understand. Could you please enable them? We need your tutorials.
I‘m not the one who made the video unfortunately. But I’m sure the subtitles will come soon :)
