Inputting harp pedal diagrams

You can input harp pedal diagrams using the playing techniques popover, both during note input

and by adding them to existing music.

If you do not input any harp pedaling, Dorico SE assumes all harp pedals are in their natural

setting, as they would be for C major. Any pitches that do not

t with the current harp pedaling

appear red when colors for notes out of range are shown.

PROCEDURE

1. In Write mode, do one of the following:

●

Start note input on a harp staff.

●

Select an item on a harp staff at the rhythmic position where you want to input a harp

pedal diagram.

2. Press Shift-P to open the playing techniques popover.

3. Enter the appropriate entry for the harp pedals you want.

For example, enter C#F#G# for C♯, F♯, and G♯ pedals, such as in A major.

4. Press Return to close the popover.

RESULT

The corresponding harp pedal diagram is input at the selected rhythmic position. Depending on

your per-layout settings, it is either displayed as a diagram, using note names, or not shown and

instead indicated by a signpost.

During note input, harp pedal diagrams are input at the caret position.
