Sibelius doesn’t look too kindly on composers who change their minds and want to write something a bit out of the ordinary. So, why bother? I wondered whether there was a programme more efficient than Sibelius, where I wouldn’t be pressing the ‘escape’ key every other second and wouldn’t have to restart a whole piece if I had changed my mind and did want an upbeat at the start after all. In this post I'll share my initial thoughts as a new user of Dorico… Why make the change?Īfter 20 years of using Sibelius – as a GCSE music pupil myself (it was revolutionary back then!) and than as a teacher, there was an inner reluctance to make the change. Knowing that the Dorico staff used to work on Sibelius, I was also curious to see how they had improved the user experience and whether they had managed to create a superior product. I have heard it being described as “intuitive software” and I was intrigued to find out what this meant.
I'd read various reviews and articles and met the Dorico team at several music conferences, where I was able to try out the software. As a long-time user of Sibelius software I’ve recently made the jump to Dorico.
