Hello,
I’m still fairly new to Dorico. I’ve watched a few tutorials and I’m constantly harmonising chorales.
I’m not entirely happy with my approach yet.
I’m working with two staves: soprano and alto, tenor and bass.
Do you type in the harmonies by hand, one by one? Or do you input them via MIDI?
Or do you type in the soprano and bass first, and then the middle voices fall into place?
I’m looking forward to your tips and experiences!
I just started learning Dorico and picked a few piano scores to practice note input. One of them is a Chopin Prelude, and I ran into a notation problem that I can’t seem to solve correctly.
In the reference score, the two circled notes are written as eighth notes, but I can’t reproduce this properly in Dorico.
I tried using Force Duration. It does rewrite the first B into an eighth note correctly, but then the “Starts Voice” property disappears, so Dorico inserts a rest before the note.
I completely can’t figure out the second eighth note. It feels like the Up-stem Voice contains six 16th notes, while the Down-stem Voice contains seven 16th notes in the same span. How is this supposed to be entered in Dorico?
I’m probably missing some fundamental Dorico voice logic here. Any help would be appreciated.
