I don’t mind investing in Dorico, as good tools often cost money, especially if the current version is a solidly usable product that only promises to get better in future releases. At a minimum, it does seem like the Dorico team at Steinberg is welcoming of feedback, hardly a common trait of software companies these days, so I view that as a net positive. The engraving community, however, seems to give it a cooler reception, yet many of the complaints I’ve read about Dorico thus far seem to center on earlier versions of the software, which leads me to think that at least some of the problems have been addressed in the current release, v. I’ve only recently come across Dorico, and I admit that I’m impressed by what I see in particular, I’m excited by what looks like Dorico’s page layout and templating system-it appears quite similar to Adobe InDesign, which I use for all my design-focused projects.


MUSESCORE VS LILYPOND PDF
About 5 years ago I obtained a copy of SCORE (with PDF user guide and manual) from an acquaintance and have used it in DOS-BOX running on both Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines. I’m a keyboardist, musicologist, programmer, and hobbyist engraver who used Finale briefly from about 2003 - 2007 and then switched to Lilypond, which I’ve used for quite a few years with the Frescobaldi editor.
