APPLYING GROOVE FONTS IN DORICO™ PRO

When running Dorico, it will find the new metadata file and will make an entry for the font in its list of available music fonts. However, to use the Groove font:

• • • Open a Dorico score,
    • Go to Engrave mode (Ctrl+3 or Cmd+3), click on the Engrave > Music Font menu option,
    • In the dialog window that appears, click on the name of the font in the list, then click the button “Change Music Font” and select Groove to apply the font to your open score project;

 

• You can optionally check or uncheck the box to use the recommended engraving options; click “OK”, and you’ll notice that your score project is taking effect of the changes with the newly selected Groove font.
• • • You might also want to change the ‘Default text’ style in Engrave > Paragraph Styles but also the ‘Default text font’ font style in Engrave > Font Styles to Groove Alpha font and Engrave > Character Styles set Music Text to Groove Text font.
