After a software product becomes mature, control passes from engineers to
managers and marketers. This happens to every software I've ever worked
with, including my own. It will happen to Dorico too, eventually.
Yeah, the dongle is a deal breaker for me.

Yes, I would agree too. TGTools and other plugins make Finale perfectly fine
for doing music.
And it doesn’t require some stupid dongle to run on multiple computer.

Oh, I so want these still. The gateway to flat slurs.

It seems as though the point of my plugin post is being lost. The point was
that with 3rd-party plugins you can design a work flow in Finale that is
highly efficient. That Dorico can achieve comparable efficiency out of the
box is to its credit, but my point is that it is quite possible to achieve
Here are my most used plugins (JW and Patterson):

Instrument Change - native in Dorico
Kitchen Department - native in Dorico

It seems to me that this is 'Finale mailing list', not '... mailing list'.

Just to add a tidbit or two, there is currently no way in Dorico to have
2 parts share a staff in the score and still have them go to separate
parts. As Steve says, it is actually pretty easy to write two separate
parts, then add a third player. Select all the music from the two
separate parts
Everything I have has been edited at least a little. Maybe a good
demonstration would be for somebody to send me a MusicXML file. I'll
import it into Dorico and post the score and parts with no editing.

Craig, would you consider posting PDFs of a score and a part page and show us

Personally I’m more interested to see an orchestra piece.

Hi Christoper,
This is something that is promised. You can easily set divisi passages with
extra staves. As far as cuing goes, you select something in the part and choose
from a list of which instrument(s) you want cued.
As it stands now, I still find combining instruments into a staff to be e
Steve,
Thanks for the info. Are you saying that Dorico handles two instruments per
score staff, but with individual parts separated, including cues and solos,
very well? (I find this is a weakness in Finale).

I’m now using Dorico for all new projects. Dorico’s ability to have distinct
pieces in one file (‘flows’) that can be reordered saves so much time. For each
layout, these can be set to continue on the same page or to start a new page,
both with header information. Dorico handles cue superbly. Th
Yes, it is a big learning curve. I never really learned Sibelius, and I
haven't learned MuseScore, so I can't really compare the size of the
learning curve. My guess is the Dorico learning curve is more difficult

Many thanks for taking the time to give us these explanations, Craig. And

Thank you for sharing these thoughts. You have made much more progress
with Dorico than I have made, so I didn't feel qualified to respond.
But I'm glad you were able to make the comparisons.

Here are some observations about each of the plug-in examples. Let me
stipulate that the Finale plug-ins might provide some unusual visual
results that aren't directly matched by Dorico, so I am not claiming
equivalence on any of these.
1. Copy arbitrary material regardless of barlines, etc.
Many that I described are plugins that I developed myself and are available
in the Patterson Plugins Collection at my website. Some are in the full
version of TGTools. Some are available as free downloads on Jari
Williamsson's website.

So Robert, when you say “3rd party plugin” do you mean plugins that others
have made that you’ve procured along the way? Or “3rd party” meaning “not
included in the included Finale plugins” and so you have made all of these
on your own?
Just a question out of curiosity more than anything. Thanks f

This is an interesting discussion….I am interested in hearing what 3rd party
plugins are you referring to, Robert. I am always looking for ways to
automate Finale.
