I was switching from Finale to Dorico recently, now I 'm building a new Chord library. Your video is very helpful! Unfortunately, I still haven't found a workflow for the following problem: I would like to move all chord symbols, alterations, sus, add., etc. BELOW the uppercase flat or sharp symbol of the root, in order to save space. Do You have any idea? Thanks a lot! Best regards, Claudio
Great tipps! thank you!. To select all chord symbols, you can select one an use the shortcut for Select All (Shift+Option+A) twice (the first time all the chord symbols in the system will be selected, the second time all the chords symbols in the flow will be selected) ;-) (opps, I noticed that this was already being suggested yesterday)
Yes. I have been trying this one, but it is still a bit clunky when I want to select just 8 bars of chords not the whole document. Guess I will keep working on it
@@larsenjazzmusic I see. You can select the 8 bars (with the system track) and then use the filter, but with a right click, so the contextual menu appears near your mouse pointer, and shows only the commands available with that selection, and choose filter/chord symbols. You can also assign a shortcut to this: notice that you can create shortcuts with combined letter: try to assign to "filter chord symbols" the shortcut: command+f+c (just press "command+f" together, and then "c", into the "press shortcut" field in the key commands for "filter chord symbols" ;-)
Yes, this is typically how I select a short number of measures when I wanna just grab the chord symbols. However, something as basic is copying just chords, it would be nice if I didn’t have to make a custom shortcut or use extra tools for highlighting. maybe I’m alone in this, but I copy chord symbols in almost every single composition so just stinks that I have to take all these extra steps. It does make me miss how finale would allow you to set a filter on what gets copied and pasted to allow you to leave out certain elements. But on the plus side, it is nice for regular copy and paste. You don’t have to worry about things like chord symbols getting moved around.
Great video, thank you! (May I suggest to don't have the continuous background music?: it distracts and make looking at the video a little more difficult).
Just out of curiosity, would you rather it had no background music and just me talking the entire time? I always feel like that. Feels a little sterile for a 15 minute long video. Possibly a matter of maybe turning the background music down a bit.

Excellent, David! Thanks so much!

Thank you SO MUCH for this. I'm finishing up my first big band chart in Dorico and this video saved the day! Much appreciated.
You are welcome

You can use select more for chord symbols. Select a chord symbol and press cmd+shift+a
Great tip, thanks
Excellent! I've changed all my MA's to ma. Exactly what I opened this video for!
You are welcome.
Great video, thank you! (May I suggest to don't have the continuous background music?: it distracts and make looking at the video a little more difficult).
Thanks for the kind words. Guess the votes are in and the background music is out. 😉
is there a way to display, say, Nashville style symbols in one instrument and default style symbols in another instrument?
Yes I believe so. I am on a road trip currently so I can give you details tomorrow
Another great video, but again the music is very distracting.
Just out of curiosity, would you rather it had no background music and just me talking the entire time? I always feel like that. Feels a little sterile for a 15 minute long video. Possibly a matter of maybe turning the background music down a bit.
Great video but please cut the music.
