    How are you adding the initial setup bits, like "Piano/Vocal" and "Music by", etc. They just popped up for you in your template example; but inputting data under the Project Info dialog is not populating to the score and there is no frame for those text items under Engrave.

    If you hold alt I think, and click on objects it selects them easier …or maybe it was ctrl…and command in Mac…much easier to select items when it is hard to click when texts are on top of each other

    But how did you create your layout of instruments

    • @digitig
      @digitig หลายเดือนก่อน

      In setup mode you add players and ensembles. When you add either, Dorico automatically adds a part layout for them over on the right, ready to print out for that player/ensemble, and you can adjust each part layout independently (but each is a view on the main score, so if you edit the music, all layouts will automatically track the changes).

    Is there a way to write something in Muscore and then put it into Cubase 5 so I can choose better sounding instruments, mix it better, and use better effects. I want the final product to come from Cubase . Now this final product will function as a demo tape did back in the day. Why don't I just write in Cubase? The notes I write in Cubase score are never accurately represented. It's sooooo frustrating! Great channel and great content. Thank you for this helpful video. I just downloaded the only notation program that I could get - Muscore. All thanks to this helpful video.

    Dorico seems the best of both world since it's primarily notiation software but had an excellent midi editor. Most people go from DAW to Notation, but tend to go the other way around if I need more than your typical orchestral Instruments.

    Reaper has had notion software built into it for years. I can write an entire soundscore, record it, and export the entire chart as a PDF. You can add lyrics and chord symbols, mark your A-B sections, etc. I took a Pro Tools class in college while studying recording engineering and bought a copy of Reaper for something to work on so I wouldn't have to go to the lab. I never opened Pro Tools again after the class. You can also edit video with Reaper. Just $60 U.S. for 5 years and all updates included.
