SIBELIUS 5 STUCK ON SCANNING VST MANUAL
When this first happened to me, I thought, OK, I'll just do a manual staff spacing adjustment to move them closer together, which then left too much space between that staff and the one below on the page, so I would have to move all staves below up a tiny bit, so I did that one by one until it looked OK. In Sibelius, moving the dynamic to get rid of this collision would cause the space between the two staves to return to normal, but in Dorico, addressing this leaves the extra space between the staves, which now looks quite strange as there is extra space between two staves for no apparent reason. If there is a rehearsal marker in a part that collides with a dynamic above, Dorico will add extra spacing between those two staves so that those do not collide. I haven't tested yet to see if this is improved at all in the iPad version. The main thing I would like to see improved, and this is where Sibelius is a bit better, is the collision avoidance functionality. I compose in Dorico and am pretty happy with it. I have a lot of faith in their abilities.

I expect these things will be continually developed and refined by Daniel and his team. What it doesn't do or not as well in my experience compared to Sibelius is transient. Modernist writing is not super easy (as of yet) on Dorico I find.īut before you apply some odd form of staw man here, let me be clear: I LOVE DORICO. And sometimes, in the bottom section/inspector, I have to click a couple of times before it will do what I need it to do. Gone! With Dorico it is also possible but it takes more clicks and keystrokes to accomplish the same thing. for aleatoric sections, where one needs more nontraditional notation, I just select the bar, and then I press the Hide function. I hope the Dorico team adds these cool features in some way/shape/form.Īdditionally, hiding notes, or stems or bars or whatever is far easier on Sibelius. Some of the score formatting features, while there, I found more time-consuming to use compared to Sibelius where you just drag staves to adjust.īTW- are you using Dorico for composing or engraving? for composing, I prefer it to Sibelius, though, I love Sibelius' ability to do things like Retrograde, Inversion, and save to a note pad with ideas/phrases/themes I might come up with. It might seem small to you, but it's kinda important when you are writing charts. Something like "play on second repeat" only is not currently a feature in Dorico. I recall there were things that Dorico didn't do or as well as Sibelius so, at that time, I had to use Sibelius to do the engraving for the sake of speed due to the looming deadline. I just don't think it's fair to drop blank statements and spread misinformation.Ĭlick to expand.I haven't been in both seriously since early this year where I was finishing a concert work that needed to be submitted to a Call for Scores.

I'm only interested in things that can make my workflow less tedious and atm it seems to be Dorico.
SIBELIUS 5 STUCK ON SCANNING VST PRO
What is used where is not really a selling point anymore, people still think Pro Tools is industry standard when the Billie Eilishes of the world are producing hit records in their bedrooms with Logic. It's a monster tool for engraving, publishing and copying. it will take time until we see Dorico having the same presence as the others, but the foundation is set.

Finale and Sibelius date back to the late 80s early 90s.

but I'm really curious to know why the two conflicting opinions, in this thread Dorico is amazing, there it lacks basic stuff, is time-consuming and clumsyĭorico is 5 years old. I'm confused, didn't you say in the Sibelius thread that Dorico doesn't do some basic things, or else it's time-consuming and clumsy? I don't agree, you should try Finale to see what clumsy and time-consuming actually is.
