Is any one using the above combination in Dorico with Notation Express and stream Deck, and if so is it speeding things up and making it easier.
Ok thanks. I’ll go ahead and order one. People seem to be quite impressed generally speaking.It has immensely sped things up for me. I did do some work to customize it for me but the end result really speed things up. I am not a professional so I can only say it speeds up my hobby work. I have the XL stream deck but I imagine it is also worth it for the 15 key version. I mostly use it for note entry and setting up new programs. I am trying to go full stream deck and keyboard when possible.
Thks. I’m using Max. Shame. Would have been interesting.I use my own custom one I made for Windows users and offered it for free on the forum (with a contribution option)... There's two versions, for the regular and the XL. They're a life changer! Nothing like being able to concentrate on making music without having to be distracted by remembering a thousand different shortcuts!
What do you mean by Max?Thks. I’m using Max. Shame. Would have been interesting.
Sorry. Typo. iMacWhat do you mean by Max?
I'm trying to find either one of them but nothing's coming up. Do you still happen to have a link?I use my own custom one I made for Windows users and offered it for free on the forum (with a contribution option)...

I'm sure you can still use it if you're willing to change the commands. I believe you need to substitute the CTRL for Command key. The hard bit is actually designing it and making all the icons, etc.Sorry. Typo. iMac
Sure thing:I'm trying to find either one of them but nothing's coming up. Do you still happen to have a link?
Hi Tatiana, always happy to help! These profiles have been downloaded several hundred times all over the world and I've only had one person that struggled to use it (they were on a Mac). Let me try to help with a little checklist:@Bollen, I'm OK, hubby solved it! The SD XL works in Dorico finally. I should never make fun of him... Here's the gist of it:
1) The SD app was already running with Admin priv.
2) I tried the one key test (define one button as "6", then changed to "7") and it worked!
Assuming it's the Notation Express or your profile which is corrupted he just deleted it from my SD XL device and went to a folder to delete the JSON file(s) there. OK, he did it. It works!
BUT another problem I had was that on that PC I use English (US), English (Canada), French (Canada) and Russian (!) Windows keyboards profiles. Apparently I NEED to be in ENglish (US) mode for it to work!
For example {[} means note accent but is an unavailable char in most keyboard templates/profiles other than US in Windows so I could not use it.
That's what the JSON file seems to indicate: EN for English (maybe should be "US" instead).
He thought the SD sent UNICODE char codes, not the actual keys defined in current Windows keyboard definition but it does not. Strange! he said.
Source: https://www.notationcentral.com/notation-express-dorico-4-info/Notation Express for Dorico 4 has been completely rebuilt. Every button has been re-programmed to take advantage of Dorico 4’s ability to receive commands directly from Stream Deck, instead of relying upon a custom key command profile as the intermediary.
What does this mean?
You may have noticed that earlier versions of Notation Express installed a custom key command (shortcut) profile. In Dorico 4 it is no longer necessary to rely on these commands.
This is a major change for the following reasons:
- Reclaim your shortcuts – You can now reclaim all of the keyboard shortcuts for your own use, as you like, without them being reserved by Notation Express
- Cross-platform support – One Notation Express profile works for both Mac and Windows, so you can use the same profile on both operating systems (no need to purchase separate versions)
- Multi-language support – Notation Express is now supported in all languages, so you don’t need to switch to English to use it in Dorico (the icon labels will still only be in English, for now)
- Faster – The direct connection to Dorico makes Notation Express significantly more responsive, because it passes commands directly to Dorico instead of invoking a series of macros that may involve opening and typing into a popover, for example
- Control Dorico in the background – The direct connection to Dorico means that you can use your Stream Deck to control Dorico even when another application is running in the foreground
