I'm using Dorico Wizard. The wizard set up all the playback everything, I changed nothing. I'm writing for bari and piano right now.
Let's say the full dynamic range of the instrument is 1-10. I know what it's capable of. I get 4-6 when writing ppp to fff. Hairpins have absolutely no effect. I haven't gotten as far as testing accents, but I'm afraid to do it.
It's not usable like this. Can I fix it? What are we doing here?
Thank you for your time,
Clare

If I could edit or delete/repost this to remove "what are we doing, here" I would. I apologize for the frustrated tone of that.
Hello Clare!
Hairpins under single notes can only have an effect when VelXF is turned on. You can learn more about controlling dynamics of our instruments with Dorico here:
https://www.vsl.co.at/tutorials/guides/dorico-integration/quickguide#optimization
The dynamic range in the player is the same dynamic range that we have recorded the instrument with. Usually we don't record ppp or fff. Anyway, you can expand the dynamic range if you add the "Dynamic Range" fader to your preset. This can be done on the CONTROL page. It is a relatively new feature of our player and is included by default in the presets of our newer instruments.
Best regards,
Andi
