You can create new expression maps from scratch, and you can duplicate existing expression maps and edit the settings; for example, when using third-party sound libraries or MIDI devices that do not provide expression maps.
Procedure
-
Choose to open the Expression Maps dialog.
-
Create a new expression map in one of the following ways:
-
To create an empty expression map, click Add Expression Map
in the expression maps list action bar.
-
To create a copy of an existing expression map, select it in the expression maps list and click Duplicate Expression Map
in the action bar.

In the Expression Map Data section, click Lock Info
to unlock the fields.

-
In the Switches table, select a switch whose actions, conditions, and/or controls you want to edit.

Change any settings for the selected switch as required.
For example, you can add actions for all switch types or, for base switches only, choose whether the volume of a selected base switch is controlled by its Note velocity or a Control change.
-
Optional: Repeat steps 7 and 8 for all switches whose settings you want to change.
-
In the Playback Options Overrides section, activate each playback option you want to override for the expression map and change their values.

To use automatic exclusion groups defined by Dorico Pro, activate Create mutual exclusion groups automatically.
