NOTATIO

Thanks, Harald, for pointing out the errors/omissions. I have done some things intentionally (or perhaps wilfully) differently. that must have been a tremendous lot of work. After switching from (30+years) Finale to Dorico I'm more or less fluent right now and thus can guess the difficulties. As sai...

There's a .10 update to version 6, with lots of bug fixes and improvements. https://www.scoringnotes.com/news/dorico-6-0-10/ Notably, Alternative Fingering can now be shown above. Also: holding SHIFT and double clicking on a note will select all notes of that pitch in the voice. My own favourite: wh...

The choice of Cyprus as headquarters for the company is interesting, after reading this article…

I suspect it's just a stylized Pes, e.g. lower note, then higher note.

The downward ones I'm less sure, but again probably a Clivis.

Here's a modern version, which is similar, but not identical; though you can see what's going on.

It's certainly true that Finale's interface is (was?) full of inconsistencies, and you would have to do things in different ways in different parts of the app; or do things in several places to achieve one thing. Perhaps MM could have made more changes to the interface, if not the actual "notat...

Lord knows the internet doesn't need more armchair analysis of Finale's demise... but Tantacrul (Martin Keary of MuseScore) has created one of his usual entertaining, informative, if somewhat self-indulgent videos about Finale. https://youtu.be/Yqaon6YHzaU?t=282 (I've spared you the initial 5 mins, ...

@John Ruggero , you've had some of your wishes granted in this release. Shortcuts for Playing Techniques was something you'd asked for, wasn't it?

I was just telling with someone else that I will soon be explaining that Dorico’s new proofreading function doesn’t replace the need for a human proofreader. Of course, Dorico's proofing doesn't (and can't ) check for "wrong" notes, or missing slurs. (I'm hoping that a future version will...

Question: should I install Dorico 6 before I really do jump in (as I know I must)? My thought is that it's probably best to start with the latest available version, but… Yes, I'd start with Dorico 6. There are lots of nice improvements in the interface for new users. As a persnickety composer, I ca...

As usual, it's a lot of the little stuff that makes the biggest difference. There are loads of new Engraving and other Options; and lots of nice improvements like double-clicking on Staff Labels to edit them. That having been said, Proofreading and Cutaways are world-beaters. I suspect that cutaway ...
