Changing the open pitches of fretted instrument strings - Dorico Elements - 6.2

You can change the open pitch of each fretted instrument string independently; for example, if your project requires an unconventional tuning that is not available as an instrument variant in the instrument picker.

Procedure

1. In Setup mode, in the Players panel, expand the card of the player holding the fretted instrument whose open pitches you want to change.
2. In the instrument label, click the instrument menu and choose Edit Strings and Tuning to open the Edit Strings and Tuning dialog.
3. Select the string whose open pitch you want to change.
4. Change the Open pitch value; for example, to G2.
5. Optional: Repeat steps 3 and 4 to change the open pitch of other strings.
6. Click Edit Name to open the tuning name text field.
7. Enter a new name for the tuning, or edit the existing one.
8. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.

Result

The open pitches of the selected strings are changed. This affects the tuning of the instrument and the pitch of all fret positions on those strings.

The new tuning becomes available for chord diagrams.
