Description

As one of many thousands of users of Finale, I was floored by the news last year that they were no longer continuing their legendary notation software.  I've chosen to begin learning Dorico.  It's slow going, but I wanted to share my experiences so far as a beginner, and what I'd recommend to get the most out of the program.
