What were you thinking?

As both Finale and Sibelius user that’s the main reason I invested in Dorico, because I’m tired of having to spend so much time fixing things that the software doesn’t do properly by default. While the existing programs have gotten a lot better at this, there are still too many things which need adjustment and tweaking. Even in version 1.0, Dorico already does most things very well and the imminent update will hopefully take care of a number of problems. I have a lot of respect for what the Dorico team has accomplished and it doesn’t bother me at all that some functions haven’t yet been implemented. Better this than half-baked features. In the long run, I’m hoping that Dorico will combine the automation of Sibelius (but better!) with the freedom of Finale.
