Compare that to other programs (check out Tantacrul’s YouTube channel ). ![]() I hardly ever need to consult the manual. In fact, I have found several engraving errors in published music that Dorico got right automatically when I entered the notes.Īlso, the user interface is well structured and (once you get the philosophy behind it) very intuitive. Now, with MIDI input, I’m faster than ever and my scores look nicer than ever without (and this is crucial) my having to tweak the score for hours. ![]() Yes, initially, inputting notes appeared a little more involved than simply placing notes, but as soon as I saw that Dorico thinks musically and wants you to input your music and leave the notation to Dorico, I was convinced that this is the way to go. I moved from a different “simple” notation software (Capella, pricier than Dorico Elements, cheaper than Pro) to Dorico, and I have never looked back. Personally I come from a very simple and basic program called Noteworthy Composer, I keep hearing “intuitive user interface” with reference to Dorico and even sometimes Musescore, but both of them DO NOT feel INTUITIVE for me, why because I’m not experienced with them, in the old Noteworthy Composer I can just type in notes quickly delete notes change notes add delete things easily not worry about how many bars I have or not, it feels to me much more ‘intuitive’ and I can focus on the music I want to compose or work on rather on semantics… it doesn’t produce as beautiful scores as can be achieved with Dorico or Musescore though, but for me the inexperienced user it feels more intuitive and fast than either Dorico or Musescore (unless I record straight from the keyboard in Dorico which I appreciate that feature) Thank ye for your replies, I do have both Musescore 3 and Dorico elements trial period I only have about 20 days left to try, I feel like because I don’t have proper experience with Musescore nor with Dorico Elements I CAN’T judge which one works for me better… the problem for me is there’s only 30 days trial and when I have free time I try to quickly grasp how to work with the software in order to evaluate whether the workflow works for me or not… if there was a torrent which would enable me to take my time and learn the software right without pressure and then decide whether to buy it or not would have been better for me but these do not exist for this software for some reason… how is one suppose to learn to use a brand new program from scratch in a 30 days period and also judge it’s capabilities at the same time? maybe if one uses all these 30 days to just spend them on the software without a life other than that… that is why I was hoping to hear from experienced users of both programs, people who could already share their knowledge on the differences between these and specifically the advantages of the propriety software over the open source. ![]()
