They’ve come up with something that’s structured similarly to Notation Options: Condensing changes can then be inserted by Engrave > Condensing Change.ĭorico’s development team have clearly had quite a task, devising a dialog that can simultaneously apply different rules to different groups of players. The Dorico 3.1 version history encourages users to employ condensing changes as sparingly as possible: the most efficient workflow is to set the rules in Notation Options > Condensing in such a way that Dorico makes the decisions you want, most of the time. We previously described condensing changes as ‘local events that will allow users to override the global rules for a specific region, very similar to the existing note spacing changes’, and this is precisely what they are. Typically a phrase starts wherever there is a rest, and ends on the last note before the next rest. Dorico can change its condensing approach from one phrase to the next.The global condensing decisions that Dorico makes are influenced by the rules defined in Notation Options > Condensing.We’re extremely glad to report that condensing changes are now here, and seemingly they make anything (condensing related!) possible. When we reviewed Dorico 3 back in September, we cautioned that condensing was a work in progress, and that some results would need manual fix-up that couldn’t yet be achieved. Let’s start with the major new features and then move on to the improvements, and finally look briefly at Dorico SE. Called Dorico SE, it is essentially very similar to Dorico Elements but is limited to a maximum of two players per project.ĭorico 3.1 is free to all registered Dorico 3 users and can be downloaded from Steinberg’s website or via the Steinberg Download Assistant. What’s more, in addition to the professional Dorico Pro tier and the hobbyist/student-level Dorico Elements, there is now a completely free offering of Dorico for the very first time. Condensing changes in Dorico Pro 3.1įurther, a behind-the-scenes update has added better support for high density displays on Windows, making 3.1 a must-have update for any Dorico user. Long-awaited features such as lines and bracketed noteheads debut in Dorico 3.1, and a new dynamics lane appears making it even easier to adjust playback without compromising the notation. Dorico Pro 3.1 builds on new features introduced in the major 3.0 release, such as score condensing, guitar fingering, and chord diagrams, and improves many others. Today, coinciding with the first day of the 2020 NAMM Show, Steinberg has released Dorico 3.1, a significant update to its scoring program and the first since the 3.0.10 update. If you’re at NAMM 2020, you can find Dorico as part of Yamaha’s station in the Elite 2 ballroom of the Marriott Hotel, where there will be a Dorico presentation at 3:30 pm each day of the show. In this post, we cover Dorico 3.1, the first update to Dorico in 2020, coinciding with the opening of the NAMM show. Follow all of our NAMM 2020 coverage at Scoring Notes, and on our social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. It’s a huge exhibition, so we’ll focus on what we do best: covering the field of music notation software and related technology. Note: All this week, we’ll be publishing posts from the 2020 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California.
