Keep in mind that it’s very easy in VSL to change the horizontal (x-axis) navigation from (default) keyswitches to a Controller.
With Dorico 2 you can simply enter controller values in the Play/Controller lanes, and thus select any articulation available. I.e bypassing the Playing Technique paradigm altogether. A small setback may be that it doesn’t seem to be possible to copy/paste controller lanes between instruments (yet…)
