Dorico macro actions wrong

Hi

new to Metagrid (Windows 10) so…

I’ve got as far as making macros for Dorico 6 with keyboard shortcuts, text etc. All good.

If, though, I choose something from Daw Integration/Dorico the commands rarely do what they say, sometimes wildly off. e.g. 'Create Clef ’ duplicates the selected note, and ‘Set Focus > Score View’ opens the Arturia Software centre.

Any clues? Are these user editable at all?

thanks, Damian

Hi Damien,

The integration for Dorico in MetaGrid Pro is for EN language only at this moment. You need to adjust the grid if your computer is set to other language - you can use keyboard shortcuts etc.

Let me know if we can help you more with this.

Hi I’m using EN. What’s happening is that most of the macros that I can add via Daw Integration do work, but a lot of them don’t - e.g. Switch Mode > Engrave Mode opens Chrome. Is Metaserver on Windows trying to read my keycommands_en.json file (via setup) or is that legacy? Or are those Daw Integration macros provided by you or a third party and I can’t edit what they actually do?

thanks

EDIT - also, are these Daw Integration Macros still simply applying the relevant key commands or are they connecting to Dorico through its API/Websocket?

Damian,

You’re on Win 10?…. then very few if any of the integrated commands work. (Mac only.) Search this forum and you’ll find my previous posts on this.

You can program key commands manually which work fine. But honestly, with the Jump bar in Dorico 6, I’m not sure it’s worth the trouble?

But… I’ll take this opportunity to tweak @Przemek again about taking care of us Windows peeps. :wink:

Thanks, I was guessing it was a Mac/Windows thing. I’m not so much interested in a full control surface - more some extra buttons for complex macros. MG will still work for that - I was just hoping to save some time with the built in Integration. Fingers crossed for a new update.
