In order to facilitate these fine-grain optical adjustments, selections in Engrave mode work a little differently. Of course, that’s not something I would actually need to do, however making small optical adjustments on the precise placement of music items is sometimes necessary,Īnd being able to do this safe in the knowledge that the item will never suddenly snap to another rhythmic position is very useful. If I really felt the need, I could place the forte all the way over here, and it would still take affect from this C. In this case, it still takes effect right at the start of the system.

When I switch to Engrave mode, however, by pressing the key command Ctrl+3 on Windows (that’s Cmd+3 on Mac),ĭragging this forte to a new position does not change which notes or rhythmic position it relates to, but purely where it is drawn. Now if I move it by cutting and pasting it to the C, it now takes effect from its new position at the very beginning of the system. The forte in this passage takes effect from the rhythmic position of this G. First let’s switch to Write mode by pressing Ctrl+2 on Windows (that’s Cmd+2 on Mac). When you make edits in Write mode, you are modifying the actual musical data of the items in your score, whereas in Engrave mode any edits you make purely affect the graphical aspect of the music items and do not alter the underlying semantic information. You cannot input or delete music items in Engrave mode. Engrave mode is where you tweak the positioning and appearance of individual items. Write mode is where you input your music and let Dorico lay everything out using its default settings or any global options that you have overridden. There are some important differences between Write mode and Engrave mode.

Hi, I’m Anthony Hughes and in this video I’ll be introducing you to Engrave mode, which is where you access many of the more advanced layout and formatting controls here in Dorico, the new music notation software from Steinberg. Presented here in written form with the kind permission of its creator, Anthony Hughes, this tutorial is titled “What is Engrave Mode in Dorico?”…
🎬 This article is a transcription of one of the excellent tutorial videos posted to the official Dorico YouTube channel.
