Excellent teaching technique. Clear, concise summary of important concepts. As a personal preference (I’m 80 years old), I would like the information presented in smaller segments, with more time spent showing the buttons and access methods to input and, most of all, to edit the music. I’ll check out your URL. Thank you for taking the time to prepare and present the tutorial.
Very clear presentation, thank you. And yes, I think annotation is probably the feature I’d like to see first for checking the scores when on the move. As it is very romantic iPad composing on a bench in Brighton it is also not that realistic, at least for me.
Can’t add frames in engrave mode? The first image in the engrave mode part of your ‘Dorico arrives on iPad’ article is a great example of the type of documents I was hoping to create with Dorico for iPad. (At the top of the document there is a frame with a Treble clef and a D Natural Minor scale and below that another frame that is text based discussing the Natural Minor scale). Are you saying that I will not be able to create such documents from on the iPad? Hopefully more improvements to engraving mode will be coming in future. Thanks for a great article and video on this great new option for iPad users! - Richard
Correct. There is no way to edit frames on the iPad. The project in that screenshot was imported from the desktop. I wanted to show that even things you can’t edit on the iPad, like frames and line styles and noteheads, will still open and render perfectly well on the iPad. The same is true for a document created with Dorico Pro and opened in Dorico Elements.
Did ot address any of the crucials, like tuplets, layout (spacing), old clefs, note shapes, microintervals etc. So I still have no idea whether it would be worth while to get Dorico for iPad. Heard the word cool too often used for anything but things cool.
