I created a score for Bach’s Invention using Dorico Pro.
While creating it, write down the necessary operations for memorandum.
Note input
1.Press Enter to enter note input mode.(also press Enter to exit)
2.Press the number keys to select duration.
4:16th note 5:8th note 6:quarter note 7:half note 8:whole note
3.Input notes by pressing alphabet keys(C D E F G A B).
If we use only the alphabet keys, we cannot specify the pitch,
and the pitch will be input close to the previous pitch.
Therefore, if you want to specify the pitch in advance,
enter it using the following command.
=============================
control + alphabet keys : 1 octave lower
shift + option + alphabet keys : 1 octave higher
=============================
4.If the pitch of the input note is not the pitch we want,
we can change the pitch with the following command.
=============================
hold option + arrow keys：pitch change
hold Shift and Option + arrow keys：pitch change in semitone
hold Command and Option + arrow keys：pitch change in octave
=============================
Rests input
Press “,” and press alphabet keys(press one of “C D E F G A B”).
In some cases, when we input a rest, the rest is not displayed and only the bar moves,
but the next time we input a note, the rest will be displayed.
Dotted note input
Press “.” and press alphabet keys
Accidentals
natural：Press “0” and input note
♭：Press “-” and input note
♯：Press “^” and input note
*Once we add an accidental, that symbol will remain in the same measure.
*We can customize settings by calling the library with “ command + shift + N”.
Tie
After input a note, press “T” and input the next note.
Slur
Press “S” and input note. To end the slur, press “shift + S”.
Clefs
Select the note whose clef we want to change, and select the symbol from the right window.
If we want to select a long range, select the first note, hold down “shift”, and select the last note in the range.
If we want to delete a warning symbol, select the symbol, right-click, and click “Cut.”
