In reply to Richard.

@Richard: I think you have to have realistic expectations. Sibelius and Finale are mature applications that have had, between them, about half a century of development work, literally hundreds of man-years. You cannot reasonably expect Dorico to have all of the features that Finale and Sibelius have accrued over the course of all of these years in its first version – or, at least, if you do expect that, you will be disappointed. I hope that there will nevertheless be many things to interest you in the first version of Dorico, and that the program will only become more interesting still to you as it matures.
