I even installed jazz fonts for lead sheet sheets, and they look just like the notation in the Real Book. I seem to be able to do most everything I need. I can construct decent SATB + piano scores, and the playback is great. I've been using Logic's notation for a year now. I'm relatively new to writing sheet music, but I want to learn how to write arrangements, especially choral pieces. I have a question about Dorico Elements 3. I've been with Sibelius since version 3, so it would be extremely difficult to switch, but it is a very impressive program. Likewise, I could see how someone how writes modern "classical" music would appreciate all this can do. I can see how someone who does a lot of advanced engraving and printing would love this. Not a criticism, it's just not anything I need. A lot of the bowing stuff, I have no idea what it is- I've been a pro violinist for 35 years. I'm sure, someone out there needs "pffff", it ain't me. What they have done in a relatively short time is very impressive. Daniel is a smart cookie, it's in good hands. I'm sure it will be a great program, it's a bit sluggish now but it's an infant. I've been using Sibelius for so long that it would be silly to switch.
