Exporting Graphic Slices From Dorico

One of those handy features you don’t necessarily appreciate until you find yourself needing it.

I just used Doricos handy Exporting Graphic Slices feature for, I think, the first time, and: what a thoughtful inclusion this is. For one issue of my music newsletter this year (comment on going quarterly some other time — likely the upcoming January – March issue!), I wanted to illustrate, like so:

a very high ledger line

In the past, I might have tried to snag that by using a screenshot utility. Today, I remembered that Dorico has this functionality built in, so I pulled the aforelinked help page and followed the instructions there to snag just this view and export it as a high-quality PNG — with the ability to be much more precise with what I captured and with a good deal more versatility about what to export and how.

Handy!
