User manual

You can allow partial harp pedaling for individual harp pedal diagrams and you can set a
maximum threshold of pedal changes at a single position, above which all harp pedal diagrams
must show all pedals. This is because performers are used to the pattern of note names in
complete harp pedal diagrams, and if there are many changes in a partial harp pedal diagram,
this can be harder to read than a complete one.
By default, Dorico SE shows notes in partial harp pedal diagrams on two lines with right-foot
pedals on top and left-foot pedals below.
NOTE
Only harp pedal diagrams using note names can be shown as partial.
