You can use Arabic or Roman numerals to indicate slide positions for slide brass instruments, such as trombones. By default, Dorico Pro uses Arabic numerals for slide positions.

Note

You must enter slide positions using Arabic numerals into the fingerings popover, even if you have chosen to show slide positions with Roman numerals in your project.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E to open Engraving Options.
  2. In the category list, click Fingering.
  3. In the Brass section, choose one of the following options for Slide position appearance in the Slide brass instruments subsection:
    • Arabic numerals

    • Roman numerals

  4. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

The numeral style used for slide positions on slide brass instruments is changed project-wide.
