![]() If I initially write the second note as a half note like so… I then selected some passages to beam together to my taste and got this result:ĭorico is very forgiving if you change your mind and this sets it apart from other programs. To do so, I personally feel it is best to use the Force Duration tool (shortcut: O) in order to get the displayed values exactly the way I want them to display. I first entered the outline of the melody without the extensive ornamentation which is a hallmark of shakuhachi playing. I chose what the meter-less time signature looks like from the Properties panel: I then selected where I wanted to start the section and typed Shift-M to enter a meter and typed X in the popover. I selected it and unchecked Show multi-bar rests in Setup > Layout Options > Players > Bar Rests and Multi-bar Rests. I will go through not only the process of creating the meter-less segments, but also how to deal with the semi-aleatoric segments in the horn parts.įirst, I decided to write directly on the flute layout for better better focus. Here are a few bars of the final product:ĭorico offers many tools to create this beautiful-looking score. The middle section of this movement quotes an Edo period folk song called “Esashi oiwake”, which is often performed wordlessly as a shakuhachi solo in a very improvisatory manner. In this post, I’ll show you how I dealt with a meter-less segment of the third movement of a chamber orchestra work which I am presently working on called Asian Postcards and which will be premiered this January. In fact, each new project one starts in Dorico starts de facto in this manner since Dorico makes no assumptions as to which key or meter should be used in your project. One of the many features in Dorico that is implemented particularly well is free, or meter-less notation. I’m actively using Steinberg’s new notation software Dorico, and have so far created a large number of projects for professional consumption with it. But because I can’t sit still for too long, I also have a parallel career as an arranger/orchestrator and I even occasionally dabble in composition. As the music director of Alberta’s Red Deer Symphony Orchestra and the leader of a period instrument baroque orchestra called Rosa Barocca, there’s plenty to keep me busy.
