Print mode allows you to print your layouts or to export them as graphics files, such as PDF and SVG. Play mode allows you to change how your music sounds in playback, including by adjusting the mix, changing the playback template, and assigning VST instruments. The available toolboxes and panels allow you to input all the notes and notation items that are most commonly used. Write mode allows you to input and edit your music, including changing the rhythmic positions of items, changing the pitch of notes, and deleting notes and items. You can also determine how they interact with each other for example, by changing the players assigned to layouts. Setup mode allows you to set up the fundamental elements of the project: instruments and the players that hold them, flows, layouts, and videos. In addition to opening and importing/exporting projects and other file formats, project and file handling also includes auto-save and project backups. This chapter introduces you to key aspects of the user interface. The user interface of Dorico SE is designed to keep all of the important tools at your fingertips.

Right now, my decor is rather colorful.Dorico is based on a number of key concepts that come from its design philosophy. I decided to create them in black and white and then color them so that I can make them fit my decor at any given time. I made my letters to fit on regular 8.5x11 card stock. I did purchase a couple of the graphics when they were REALLY good, but I've found that purchasing the rights to use really good graphics for teaching are often worth it and the fees are minimal. ALL of the sources for the fonts and graphics that I used to create my alphabet are included at the end of this post. I'm happy with my final product, although it's not perfect and I may continue to tweak it before I finally print it, I thought that I would go ahead and share what I have. I used an OLD version of Publisher and an OLD version of Powerpoint to edit graphics as needed. After looking and looking and looking and looking I finally decided to create my own.

I found some basic letters that I was going to use as the basis for my word wall, but I decided they weren't quite big enough so I have been looking for letters for some time. soooooo I'm revisiting word walls and trying to synthesis everything that I put on my wall so that everything is accessible, instructional and totally music. I don't know about you, but I don't have enough wall space in my room to tolerate any space takers. I have never been happy with how my word wall has functioned in my room.I've sort of borrowed and shoved together lots of ideas and ended up with a word wall that was nothing more than a "space taker".
