As a Dorico user I'm not surprised to learn about this new feature. It can clearly be seen that the Dorico team is going to develop some unique software that will be a standard in future; meanwhile I'm slowly gaining confidence with its working procedures, knowing that lot has still got to be done. A drumset, for instance is not mappable on a stave, at the moment.
