File import and export

External les are les in different formats than Dorico projects, such as MIDI, MusicXML, or

tempo tracks. It is possible in Dorico SE both to import and export different types of les.

This can be useful if, for example, you want to share your project with others who use a different

notation software, or to convert the notes, audio, or time signatures and tempo information in

your project into other formats.

Importing ows

You can import individual ows into existing projects, for example, if you want to bring together

multiple existing pieces into one project for publishing, or if you have an empty project le with

your preferred settings saved and want to reuse those settings.

PROCEDURE

1. Choose File > Import > Flows to open the File Explorer/macOS Finder.

2. In the File Explorer/macOS Finder, locate and select the project les of the ows you want to

import.

3. Click Open to open the Flow Import Options dialog for the rst selected project.

4. In the Flow Import Options dialog, choose one of the following options for Player

handling:

● Create All New Players

● Merge with Existing Players Where Possible

5. In the Import ows list, activate the checkbox for each ow you want to import.

6. Click OK to import the selected ows and close the dialog.

7. Optional: If you selected multiple projects from which to import ows, repeat steps 4 to 6 for

each project. The Flow Import Options dialog reopens automatically for each project.

RESULT

The selected ows are imported into the project.

● If you chose Create All New Players, new players are added as required for each ow.

● If you chose Merge with Existing Players Where Possible, any players that the imported

ows and existing project have in common are merged, for example, if you imported a ow

containing a solo piano into a project containing a piano and viola, the imported ow is

added to the existing piano player.

NOTE

● Players are not automatically added to ows that you imported into the project.

●

You can also open ows directly if you want them to be separate projects rather than new

ows in existing projects.
