Hi Daniel, wow! I followed Dorico’s development on your Taking Notes blog from way before the release of 1.0, and I’ve been waiting for percussion support, then managed to totally miss the amazing job you did of adding it to 1.2. I saw in the release notes for 1.2 just now that one small thing missing was support for percussion stickings (L, R) — but also read that you can use lyrics as a workaround. I can’t tell if these were added in the 1.2.10 release with all the other percussion improvements. I appreciate that for composers (probably your main target market) they aren’t needed, but they are very important for teachers. (Aside: I’d also totally missed the amazing page layout features you added, also super important for teachers. Incredible job.)

Anyway, I’m about to download the free trial, and am pretty certain I will now be buying Dorico as you seem to have added everything I was waiting for.

But could you clarify whether support for stickings has been added yet? (And if not when you think it might be?)
