I saw the demo of Dorico at the Major Orchestra Librarians' Organization conference in Helsinki this week. Looks very promising, and many of us librarians had little flecks of drool on our chins afterward. The interface is clean and logical, and the work flow makes more sense in some ways than Finale or Sibelius. It will be 64-bit native, so should go fast.
The presenter Daniel Spreadbury admitted that it's still a work in progress and there are lots of details to be ironed out before the official release. I expect that the chord symbol issue will be worked out before then, and Daniel said that the crossgrade price wasn't set in stone as of now. One attraction for me is that evidently a version of the Cubase sequencer and Steinberg sound libraries will be incorporated in the program. Definitely worth a look, at least in a demo version, and I'll be interested to see how well my Finale and Sibelius files migrate.
