NOTATIO

Whoa, I hadn't checked in here in a while. Thanks for your response Daniel! Just a few comments in response. ...because it lacked support for chord symbols. But version 1.1, which was released in June 2017 as a free update, added chord symbols, so while it is accurate to say that Dorico 1.0 "couldn'...

I suspect Dorico's primary market is commercial music, where time is money. Dorico is all about saving time; getting parts out quickly. So music theatre, film scoring, and conventional publishing is going to pay to get the job done fast. IMO, Dorico has done a poor job supporting that market so I'm...

oops, double post

My class breakdown seemed to be: Finale - too expensive Sibelius - hate subscription services (and can't afford perpetual license) Dorico - what's that? MuseScore - free and everyone else uses it I'm not sure how any of the first 3 are going to compete in an education market that is now apparently b...

Hi all, For those of you that teach at universities, what notation software are most of your students using?

Yes. The copy protection scheme hasn't changed. Ugh, I'm sure they've heard the complaint a zillion times, but I really wish they would go to a copy protection scheme like Finale, Sibelius, Adobe, etc. For those of us that travel a lot plus use a more powerful desktop for a home/studio setup it's k...

For those that have tried it, is the copy protection scheme the same? Do you still need a dongle if you want to use it on a desktop and a laptop?

From your link: "The pitch of a note, however, is not relative to the pitch of the previous note. Rather, it is relative only to the staff lines. Musicians learn to recognize common pitch intervals between notes but only by referencing the staff lines. So you might say that the pitch dimension is no...
