Very cool, thanks for posting this. I just finished installing it and it works great. You're allowed two instruments or voices so if you're scoring an ensemble you'll need the full version. My use for notation is for charts for bandmates so I'll see how well this works vs other programs I have like Musescore. Otherwise, it has everything described and no restrictions at all that I can see. It is it's own stand alone program. I had to agree to receive their newsletter and I'm sure I'll get some friendly reminders to upgrade to the full version but that's ok, I don't mind receiving stuff like that from the majors anyway.

Can you notate chords, or just two monophonic instruments?

Here's a vid that introduces Dorico SE and how to get started, it should answer some questions. It appears this was just released today and there are 4 other vids up right now.

Say no more. I am a fan of grammar and spelling and don't mind correction in the least.

If I'm understanding correctly, it will only do two instruments, right? For me, that's a deal-killer. Back to MuseScore.

That"s just the demo version.

I bought the full version recently and it"s so much better than Finale, which I"ve used for 20 years.

That's for the free, unlimited time version, Dorico SE.

Dorico Elements and Dorico Pro have 12 and unlimited instruments (or possibly players?) respectively, and there are also 30-day free trial versions of those.

MuseScore is full featured and free forever. But it's unpolished in a few areas where a professional, commercial product has space to shine.

Life is subtractive.
Genres: Jazz, funk, pop, Christian worship, BebHop
Wishlist: 80s-ish (synth)pop, symph pop, prog rock, fusion, musical theatre

Some folks seem to be missing my point. I'm trying to compare apples to apples, price-wise. I have yet to run out of instruments in MuseScore and it's free.

 

MuseScore may not be perfect--it doesn't seem to export MIDI files cleanly, for instance (or didn't, the last time I tried [older version])--but it does a pretty good job for my needs and I can't complain about the price.

I'm not interested in someone's ability to program. I'm interested in their ability to compose and play.

Well, you never made the point that you think people missed.

 

There's a 30-day demo of Dorico available. From what I've seen on the facebook group, they're pretty good about extending the demo period if someone can justify it. The full version of Dorico isn't cheap, even with a competitive crossgrade; and the Elements version has limitations in both the number of instruments in a piece as well as the layout options (there's no Engraver mode, where you do all the fine tuning), so if your older version of MuseScore pretty much does the job, maybe you should see if a newer version does better. But in my experience in using Musescore (as well as Notion, and the entry level version of Finale and Sibelius), you can only compare apples to apples so much, because MuseScore, while great for the price, is very much a Pontiac Aztec to Dorico's [fill in your favorite European luxury car here].
