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.

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. On 1/28/2019 10:13 AM, Thomas Schaller wrote: Craig, would you consider posting PDFs

Hi Paolo, You make good points. In an ideal world, the software would create beautiful engraved scores and parts with very little effort, but for those who want more control it would also allow them to do what they want. After all, the whole purpose of computers in the first place was to do
