As a Finale user who’s getting used to Dorico and who very much believes in it’s potential, in all fairness I just thought to mention:
- in Finale you also enter verse 2 lyrics by pressing the down arrow, although there are other means of showing that you’re entering another versie of lyrics;
- Verse numbers can also be entered using the options in the Score Manager. If you’re still using numbers + hard spaces, then you haven’t been keeping up with Finale’s updates.
