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 Elements 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, excluding the two lowest harp strings, 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.
