Dorico Negative Delay workaround

Hi everyone,
A quick check, what is the latest in people’s workaround on negative delay for own sample libraries Dorico? I remember there was a post previously, but could not recall if there’s an easy solution. Any pointers will be appreciated as I am beginning to appreciate Dorico as a quick composition platform.
Cheers.
 
The only issue is the dynamics markings do not delay to match the expression map programmed delays, so you have to draw in the CC changes for dynamics if you use the delay function. Daniel said on they were considering solutions for this in future releases.

That depends really on how much of a delay you need, and how critical it is that the dynamics are perfectly timed to arrive at a specific moment. For libraries with less delay you might never really notice an issue in reality. I used the delay compensation feature for the first time and I didn't really have to bother with the timing difference with the dynamics. This only becomes a problem if the library needs a large amount of delay, like perhaps something like CSS with the expressive legato, or Cinebrass.

Thanks guys - appreciate the pointers! Will definitely check the expression map it out. Admittedly, I only have been using Noteperformer NPPE and also some playback templates for HOOPUS i found on Steinberg forum, but have not gone into creating my own articulation mapping. Perfectly timed dynamic markers are not so important to me at the moment as I used Dorico mainly to write and orchestrate fast (don’t have to fuss around with the sample libraries and just write :).

That’s good to I know! I use the full CSS series with scripts that make all the delays consistent (and large), so my setup must be more effected than most. Thanks for the insight!
