#DORICO TRANSPOSING SCORE UPGRADE#

When you see Dorico doing something in a flash that it might take you 20 seconds to fix on Sibelius, you do think ‘wow, that would save so much time’. It probably is likely to be the best on the market, however. Because when you open up Dorico, everything that you can do in it is completely different to the way I’m used to doing things in Sibelius.

Where the problem lies – and this isn’t something you can really blame them for but it’s just the fact of the matter – is the time that goes into learning a new notation programme is an arduous investment when you’ve already learned another programme system and its quirks. A few months after that I got a new computer and started using Dorico for the first time.

I knew I wasn’t going to switch over: at the time my computer wasn’t capable of using Dorico but I thought, I will buy it now and when I do upgrade I will be able to start looking at it. I bought Dorico when there was a deal for people who already had Sibelius and also a discount for students at the Royal Academy of Music where I was at the time. Is it time for Sibelius to stand aside? Toby Deller speaks to composers about their experiences of Dorico notation software
