Especially in some areas like divisi staves, and cue notes. In regards to functionality, Dorico 2 allows you to improvise while writing. The fact of looks is that as long as you can read it well, it looks fine. I find Bravura to be more aesthetically pleasing than Emmentaler. It is just a matter of which one you like better. Of course don't take my word for it as truth since it is only my opinion, but in the end, There will be a difference in a score produced with MuseScore compared to a score produced with Finale, or Dorico (2) in looks alone. MuseScore's Emmentaler looked fine for functionality in general, I liked it of course, but in the world of music, that kind of font will stick out like a sore thumb, since it presents the idea of a "child's drawing" in my honest opinion. The Bravura font was a rather attractive looking font for music. Adjusting all the spacing in MuseScore 2 to accomodate collisions was a pain in the rear.Įven in Dorico 1, Dorico 1 still had better looks than MuseScore. I know MuseScore 3 would have that feature, but yeah. I wanted MuseScore to have that feature while I used it in the past!Īnother feature I liked was that it automatically adjusted spacing to avoid collisions. That has got to be the best idea I have seen in a music notation softare ever. On the page, if the divisi started mid-line, it would automatically create a "unison" part (both staves would automatically have the same part notated). Right-click, then change divisi, and then when you're done, right-click and restore tutti. One feature that specifically caught my mind, was the way to have sections divide. Despite all of this, and Dorico's new intuition, MuseScore wins hands down as the better program compared to Dorico 1, because MuseScore could do more, but it was a close score.ĭorico 2 came out and introduced a trunk load of new features. My professor (who has performed Piano in Carnegie Hall) uses MuseScore for her needs and gets along just fine. To add a positive note, many friends I know in that college use MuseScore.
#Dorico divisi professional
It is a joke among my college that "Everything looks more professional than MuseScore". I needed scores that looked professional and legit, and could do a lot. I am sad to include that because of my advancing skills, as well as excited friends to play my music that I know, MuseScore no longer met my needs in scoring. During that time, I ended up using Finale, because Finale could do more. It was quite hard to do professional work on that program. I thought it would do justice to include such a comparison.ĭorico in of itself was a program with many great ideas, but at the same time, many features did not exist. It has been a significant amount of time since I posted my last comparison between MuseScore and other notation programs, but since then Dorico 2 was released.
