Just amazing stuff John! Always learn something new about Dorico and often go back to your videos when there is something I need to check. What a wonderful resource!

Thank you for this enormously useful walkthrough.

@JanBLarsson yesterday

Well, this was a handful and then some... Interesting information, John, but a bit on the heavy side. I use the Stream Deck for short cuts, and it is a wonderful tool. I make my own profile, rather than buying the pre-made one since I don't think it is worth the cost. Keep the videos coming, I couldn't see this one live, but I try my best to do so. This one is best in small bits, haha. Have a great summer!

What about creating a shortcut for Notes and Rests / Start voice or End voice on the Properties panel in Write mode? I use these settings CONSTANTLY to control the visibility of rests when creating piano scores. There has never been a shortcut for these, or a way to create the shortcut. This would be a HUGE timesaver. Having to switch between the keyboard panel and the properties panel is a hassle. Any hope of getting shortcuts for these settings?? :)
