Changing the content shown in the transport display
You can switch between showing the timecode, the total elapsed time, and the current rhythmic
position of the playhead (expressed in bars, beats, and ticks) in both the mini transport in the
toolbar and the Transport window.
PROCEDURE
● In either the mini transport in the toolbar or the Transport window, click the transport
display until the content you want appears.
In the Transport window, this is on the right.
RESULT
Each time you click in the mini transport display, it cycles through showing the rhythmic position
of the playhead, elapsed time, and the timecode.
In the Transport window, it only switches between the timecode and elapsed time, as the
rhythmic position of the playhead is shown permanently on the left of the window.
TIP
You can change what is shown in the mini transport by default for all future projects on the Play
page in Preferences.

Endpoints
“Endpoint” is the term used for the unique combination of inputs and outputs that together allow
the correct sounds to be played for each instrument.
In Dorico Elements, each endpoint brings together the following:
● A particular VST instrument or MIDI output device
● A specic channel on that VST instrument or MIDI output device
● The patch or program assigned to that channel
● The expression map, and optionally percussion map as well, that describes the instrument
or instruments that can be played by that patch or program, and the playing techniques
and articulations provided
Each instrument in your project is connected to a specic endpoint, and assigning an expression
map to the same endpoint allows Dorico Elements to translate playing technique changes and
note articulations into the key switches and controller switches required to reect the required
sounds for the instrument in playback.
If you are using the HSSE+HSO (Pro) playback template with HALion Sonic SE or HALion
Symphonic Orchestra, endpoints and expression maps are set up automatically. However, if you
want to load other plug-ins or change the patches within HALion Sonic SE, then you must use the
Endpoint Setup dialog.
For example, if you have a project that uses the HSSE+HSO (Pro) playback template and you
change one of the sounds in HALion Sonic SE, such as changing Clarinet Combi in HALion
Symphonic Orchestra to GM Clarinet, this plays back incorrectly because the HALion Symphonic
