You can delete rhythmic feel changes you have enabled for specific sections or for individual players only. You can enable swing playback for specific sections in your project and for individual instruments independently, for example, if you want only the soloist to swing for a twelve-bar section. For example, a swing ratio of 2:1 means the first note in each pair is twice as long as the second, creating a triplet swing. Swing ratios express the strength of the swing using beat units. Swing is a style of performance where equally-notated notes are played in a regular pattern of alternating longer and shorter notes, which commonly entails eighth notes being played as a quarter note triplet followed by an eighth note triplet. You can also use the playback key commands in any mode. You can listen to the music you have written from the beginning of your project or from a specific point. The playhead is a vertical line that moves during playback, showing the current rhythmic position. They allow you to control multiple musical elements in a project simultaneously but independently of each other. Tracks are rows in the event display that represent time horizontally from left to right. The event display presents your project in a similar way to that used in a digital audio workstation, or DAW, such as Cubase. It allows you to view and edit your music, but focuses more on how it sounds in playback rather than its notation. The event display in Play mode is the equivalent of the music area in Write mode. The project window in Play mode contains the default toolbar and the event display, and also a toolbox and panels that contain all the tools and functions that allow you to set up your project for playback. Play mode allows you to change how your music sounds in playback, including by changing the playback template and assigning VST instruments, inputting automation, adjusting the mix, and changing the sounding duration of notes in playback without affecting their notated duration. There are various ways you can control the layout and formatting of pages in your project, including changing the size of pages and adjusting note spacing. The available toolboxes and panels allow you to input all the notes and notation items that are most commonly used. Write mode allows you to input and edit your music, including changing the rhythmic positions of items, changing the pitch of notes, and deleting notes and items. You can also determine how they interact with each other, for example, by changing the players assigned to layouts. Setup mode allows you to set up the fundamental elements of the project: instruments and the players that hold them, flows, layouts, and videos. In addition to opening and importing/exporting projects and other file formats, project and file handling also includes auto-save and project backups. The user interface of Dorico Elements is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible while keeping all of the important tools at your fingertips. This chapter helps you to get started with Dorico Elements.ĭorico is based on a number of key concepts that come from its design philosophy.
