I can confirm that after sul pont. and then col legno, recalling arco actually recalls sul pont.. It also happens when there are other articulations instead of col legno.

Paolo

Thank you Paolo,

I was trying to use various articulations after, and I ran into the same problems as you described. I'm happy though that it can be replicated, since I thought that I have done something wrong :) 

Thanks again !

A solution could be to change the sul pont playback technique to an attribute, instead of a direction. If it's the glyph, I think this would also make sense.

If it is the sul pont text expression, it is clearly a direction. But you can make an exception with it, by making it an attribute, and extending it up to the next technique.

In any case, I suspect a bug somewhere.

Paolo

Thanks again Paolo,

I'll try this definetely. I suspect a bug too; let's hope Andi will hop in and modify the expression map accordingly !

More than the expression map, I suspect it is more how Dorico manage articulations. Sometimes, adding a 'nat' before another articulation, or where a direction-type articulation should end, can solve some of the missing articulation change issues.

Hi again,

Yes , it does the trick , thanks a lot. The only issue that still persists is with harmonics ..I'll try various combinations to see if it works ...up to this point , still no...

Just realized I was responding to David on Dorico forum 😳, but nevertheless the issue described there is  the same ..😔

 Hi Paolo,

A I previously said, here and on Dorico forum, the harmonics are not working in my file (Solo Violin + and VSL expression map) ...I have tried to use after the col legno , ord., nat., modo ordinario and arco , on a rest in a previous measure, but still the articulation is not switching to harmonics ( natural ones). I suspect is just my novice ( basic) understanding of how things work in Dorico, since you were saying that you have no problems ....

If you can tell how you are doing, to make this thing work, that would be great !

the harmonics don't work as they have been incorrectly mapped. The "o"for harmonics requires an entry "natural harmonic 1" but in the supplied Expression Map they are set to "artificial harmonics". These lines must be edited to match the Dorico assigned articulation. I've explained in a little more detail on the Dorico forum.

Many thanks to David and Paul,

Everything works now !

Hello Bogdan and lunar_28664!

You are right about the harmonics. Dorico 3.5 always uses the "Natural Harmonic 1" expression for harmonics, even when you add an artificial harmonic to your score. The harmonics included in the SYNCHRON-ized Special Edition PLUS collections are artificial harmonics. That's why these expressions have been added to the expression maps. I will add "Natural harmonics 1" expressions for the next update as well.

Best regards,
Andi

Exactly what I though had probably happened. As the SE only supports artificial harmonics, it is natural to want the EM entry to show that but as the "o" which actually does the double duty of natural and artificial harmonics uses the natural harmonics 1 p.t, you need to use that in the EM even though the VSL isn't supplying one in the first place 😊. Of course a new playing technique could be created to match the EM but this seems the more complicated of the options and Andi's plan should certainly put this one to bed.

David

Thanks Andi,

As David explained ( myself being totally new to Dorico's system) , harmonics still can be made to work properly, but with your input and updated Emap, everything would work accordingly !Thanks for taking the time to read through.

All best ,

Bogdan
