but I know they are a VERY much requested addition to Dorico. Can't Dorico create cutaway?? Yes, MuseScore can with a click create cut-away staffs. But in my experience, after doing one large vocal score and one large orchestral score in Sibelius, that Finale's "Staff Styles" are one of t...

MuseScore goes into the right direction.

- support for custom lines, boxes and shapes.
- partial SVG export, and SVG export that gives 100% size (not 800%).

Many thanks to all, it was interesting to read. The only thing that has kept me away from Dorico is the "critical mass" of available copyists. Today one can find very talented copyists using Sibelius, competing and so keeping the prices down and availability up. Also, I have been working s...

In your example: https://notat.io/download/file.php?id=4002 - the first viola, first slur is a typical Finale (and other software) slur appearance: the slur's direction is downwards and the notes are going upwards. That could be edited. - the second viola, the slur can cross the flat's symbol stem. ...
