Composer Switching to Dorico after Using Finale since 2005!

UPDATE
On August 26, 2024 MakeMusic announced the "end of Finale". This is a pretty massive shake-up for the industry. I'll be making some new videos about this soon.

Since 2005 I've been using Make Music's "Finale" for my work composing & engraving. After all this time composing in Finale, I've finally decided to take the big leap of starting to use Dorico 4 as my main sheet music software. Learning a new engraving tool takes a ton of time, but I was fed up with Finale enough to make this big change.

So this is my story about moving from Finale to Dorico and we take a look at quite a few great benefits of Dorico including how I use TouchOSC with it. (I am not affiliated with Dorico or Finale, so this video isn't sponsored - this is my real experience.)
