![]() ![]() These are configurable in the properties panel, allowing you to modify the count frequency, appearance and so on. You can disable this by opening the View menu and unchecking Highlight Slash Regions.ĭorico will add numbers to bars to help performers count through slash regions, by default every fourth bar. ![]() The slash region is created to the duration of your selection, and by default shows a green highlight to show that the slashes are part of a region. Open the popover by pressing Shift+R, then type “slash” and press Return. There’s also an item in the Write menu to create a slash region.Īnd you can also use the Repeats popover. Then open the Repeats panel over here on the right, and click Create Slash Region. Ensure you are in Write mode and start by making a selection of the bars that you would like to be filled with slashes. You can create slash regions a few different ways. If you change the time signature, the durations of the slashes in the region will be updated automatically. The quickest way to add rhythm slashes is to use a slash region, allowing you to fill a range of bars with slashes showing the beats of the prevailing time signature: for example, in bars of 4/4, that would be four quarter note slashes, while in 6/8, two dotted quarter note slashes will be shown. This is sometimes called rhythmic notation.ĭorico 2 introduces sophisticated support for both kinds of rhythm slashes. Slashes with stems provide the rhythm that should be played, and then leave the exact pitches to the performer, for example how they might voice a riff or chord progression. Broadly speaking, there are two types: Slashes without stems - sometimes referred to as slash notation - are generally interpreted as giving the performer complete freedom to play whatever they like. They are often used in conjunction with chord symbols. Rhythm slashes are used in music requiring improvisation, and indicate to a performer that they should play something, but without being specific about exact notes or rhythms. Hello, I’m Anthony Hughes and in this video I’ll be showing you how to use Rhythm Slashes in Dorico 2, the advanced music notation software from Steinberg. Presented here in written form with the kind permission of its creator, Anthony Hughes, this tutorial is titled “How to Work With Rhythm Slashes in Dorico Pro 2″… I'm glad that others have more patience for a new program, because it is these people that will give the Dorico team the financial resources and support to continue its development.□ This article is a transcription of one of the excellent tutorial videos posted to the official Dorico YouTube channel. However, stating "Dorico is a piece of crap" is disrespectful to the countless individuals that are working daily to improve and develop this program in to something that can finally compete with the established programs that quite frankly, have often left users feeling ignored in terms of feature requests. Expect to be frustrated as you must learn new shortcuts, commands, and myriad other things that are second nature to you in your previous software. Of course, to compare the familiarity with existing software that you may have used for a decade or more to something completely new, is about as fair as comparing a new symphony heard for the first time to Beethoven's Fifth. In my own experience migrating from Finale to Dorico, after several months of use, I'm beginning to see how much more intuitive and user-friendly Dorico can be. Dorico was built from the ground up, therefore it is to be expected that there would be a steep learning curve. I think that statement is a little harsh.
