As a Finale user I was mad about having to learn a new program, but I am now stunned to see how great Dorico is. Thanks for the video. This helped a lot.

[@soundtreks]

Steinberg has two MVPs: Antony and John. Both incredible Dorico representatives who always make truly valuable videos. I really like that piece if music Anthony composed for this series. Has a very retro sound but with some lovely chord choices. ❤

[@MorisoniProductions]

more than useful, compiled with loving attention to detail, a super-valuable and enjoyable resource. THANK YOU Anthony.

[@bonuebonue]

Great video Series, Anthony!!! Dorico is wonderful!

[@pianowithearl7226]

Very informative video

Nicely done, well summary of what most people would use the Dorico SE for; learning music theory, music composition and music production for solo and small band music as a hobbyist. My goal was learning music via standard notation, so I start transcripting quartet music from IMSLP using musescore. Would definitely done another round with Dorico SE to see if I can go much faster than musescore. Thanks a lot ❤❤❤ Update ----------- Tried to create bars with dotted rest, then have exact ryhthms are hard. Seems the SE version have unchangeable default and you have to agree the generated notes equivalent 🤷 stopped at 2 measure.

where can you get tutorials to learn all the complexities of Dorico?

[@dorico]

A good place to start is blog.Dorico.com/getting-started with the first steps guide and other options there. Then there are many resources on our KZbin channel e.g. in the live streams (for example this series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmPLq5iFfb2Meck) or one of the video series or trainers available on blog.dorico.com/resources/

[@pianoman31294]

How do you change the playback tempo (not the tempo of the piece) without having to use a mouse to get exactly to the right number? In other words, how do you type using the number keys the playback tempo you want?

@@dorico Thanks.

I am new to Dorico, coming from Finale 26, I think. I have arranged a piece, but now, I can't HEAR the music, anymore, #1 problem at this time. I also can't "manage" my pages as I could with Finale, using the grabber or writing in words, instructions, etc. on my page.

[@dorico]

See my other message about the issues but for formatting layouts this session is a good one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmTEZWujqpKcobs

[@BertFlanders]

What does the SE in the name stand for?

[@dorico]

Starter Edition

[@RebeccaAnnewithanE]

This technical stuff is awesome, but it is WAY OVER MY HEAD. I tell my piece where to be soft, slow, cresc/decresc , fermata, gradually slow down, etc. , but my instructions are ignored. I need to change the size of spaces between staffs (I forgot the better term. I'm 78 and need 25 year old brains.) Overwhelmed!

[@Studio-62]

nothing explaining how to do something though
