In reply to Malcolm Barnes.

I've used Finale since ever (1.05 with a dozen 3.5 disks). I had to switch to something and while Steinberg frightened me, gave it a shot.
It was terrible for about two weeks (I'm stubbborn).
There are plenty of help videos but they went by too fast.
Like everything it will take time and slogging work.
Here's what I figured out way back at the start with Dorico.
The sequence of actions I used in Finale needed to be kind of reversed. But what is more- Dorico separated out the various stages of set-up, writing, playing, etc into their own menu categories (my words).
And slowly, without crying over Finale, I wrote a little sketch. And that was it. Next came putting a Finale file into XML format and opening it in Dorico. It worked. So hundreds of files later, I have my Finale output safely available to Dorico.

Like everything else, it takes time and adjustment, but I've become as comfortable with Dorico as I became with Finale- maybe even more so.
