Drum Notation Basics for Dorico 

Thank you! I wanted to show every click, press, and action so there is no confusion! Glad you enjoy!

Thank you, this was a fun video to make because it's well past the basics, I wanted to make sure I got the details right!

I thought so hard about when new Dorico users would be about to write drum parts, seems I nailed it! Glad I could help you out!

@@cjrhenmusic I'm another Finale refugee. Drums were no better in Finale than Sibelius. The mapping was a nightmare. Dorico is so straightforward and, yes, you nailed int!

Thank you, I love teaching with detail!

Thank you!

Thank you! Lead sheet w/ rhythmic cues video coming this week! Also starting my weekly livestream!

You know where to turn when you are ready! Definitely check out my videos on note input they will give you some good direction!

I swear cues in Dorico are just so cool. They are the feature that puts new users in the Dorico mindset. Once you understand cues everything else about the software and how it does things differently starts to make sense. Thank you for watching!

Hey so the midi keyboard is called vmpk.sourceforge.io, if you are on Windows you also need loopback midi www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html, you select your midi keyboard as the input for vpmk and the output as your virtual midi cable and that virtual device can connect to your daw and Dorico. I use OBS window capture to capture vpmk and you have to crop it and setup the keyboard so it looks good. For the typing keyboard it's an obs plugin and I designed some of the keys myself. obsproject.com/forum/resources/input-overlay.552/ Thank you for watching!

It appears you cannot use cues in Dorico elements. If you do a lot of drum notation I highly recommend pro, usually there are affordable upgrade licenses so you only pay the difference between elements and pro!

Haha, the leading notation softwares can be intimidating but I promise the results are worth it!

​@@cjrhenmusic Sure, it might be lagging in an advanced features sense, but it sure is the most popular and leading in the sense of cleaning up notation and software. And I don't have the budget, even though I still want to learn about professional engraving. Even historical physical engraving and medieval calligraphy and how software is built

@@Neptoid I was just on a live stream talking about the benefits of musescore, you are nailing it, I've actually used musescore for pro gigs, I think it holds its own against Dorico in many rights. You cannot beat the price.
