How to Work With Bar Repeats in Dorico | Getting Started with Dorico 2

[@davidpodeschi5574]

Excellent, I like this kind of focused and concise tutorial.

I just want a freakin' repeat symbol - at either end of the bar.. How the f&^%$ does one add that? Took me long enough to realise their NO rests policy..

[@musicbygestalt]

super stoked for this program, just started my trial today!

[@musicbygestalt]

actually I have a series on our channel where I "break down" how I write our music, almost like form and analysis. Depending on how this trial goes there's a good chance the videos will show Dorico notations! (not many views on youtube, they get a few thousand each on facebook though)

Great - let us know how you get on! You might want to join a Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/dorico too?

[@DavidMorehead]

Amazing! Thanks for the info.

[@denisfeletto]

Very useful, thank you!

[@ChristopherFryman]

super helpful

How do I use the repeat sign in chord symbols section? it seems to be an impossible issue to solve.

[@dorico]

You can add it as text (shift-x) or a playing technique

Nice.

I set the layout for 4 bars per stave. How can I change the number of bars for a stave or two without changing the layout?

[@dorico]

In Engrave mode you can select a note or barline and use Shift + S to set a system break.

[@eustacejohnson691]

Working with the trial version. Can't figure out how to delete a 4 measure rest. The garbage can icon doesn't appear

[@dorico]

You can either use the system track (see kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGO1fqZooZeEi9k) or select the rest in the first bar and then type Shift + B for the bars popover, enter -4 and press enter.

@@dorico Thanks

Playback loop would solve all my problems with repeat but unfortunately it doesn't exist. In Dorico, they consider it an option and it's not an option mostly for a composer who need to repeat 8 bars forever to invent his music...Why you hate playback Loop Dorico team?

[@dorico]

We don't hate it, but we haven't found time to implement it yet.
