![]() ![]() I migrated over to Dorico (after trialing the Pro version) in December 2019, so I am still very new to Dorico, but already enjoying it immensely.ĭon’t get me wrong, Dorico still has a few issues that need sorting, but from what I have seen it will get there VERY fast. At that time I hadn’t even heard of Dorico, but became aware of it via the Steinberg website as I am a staunch supporter of certain other Steinberg products.

Keep in mind I had been using Finale since back when it was owned by Coda Music, circa 2000. With regards to Finale: I looked at (trialed) the various upgrades that had come along since Finale 2012 and just never seen a good reason to upgrade. Of course I had to download the newer Dorico software, but so what, I now have Dorico-3 pro! Point is, at no point did the cross-grade installer ask me what software I had previously been using! Maybe it found Finale on my PC and satisfied itself without me knowing? I expressed concern to the salesperson that I might be in process of effectively cross grading to Dorico-1, which indeed turned out to be the case, except while installing the licence up popped a message saying that I qualified for a free upgrade to Dorico-3. I bought a retail cross-grade package that simply said “Dorico” on the box. I recently cross-graded from Finale 2012 to Dorico Pro. Financially it would be cheaper to go to Finale v26 at half the upgrade price, but the support seems better for Dorico. I need some help in deciding which one to go for, has anyone transferred from Finale to Dorico and for what reason. I’m thinking of upgrading to either Finale v26 or Dorico Pro 3, at the moment Dorico Elements doesn’t have text options I need to make notes on the score. YMMV.I currently have Dorico Elements 3 and Finale Printmusic 2014 mainly for creating Lead Sheets and Guitar Tablature, not full orchestral scores.

A fly-speck on the paper is enough to confuse it. ![]() I have still had very poor results in scanning even rather simple music into Finale. I also have a 11x17 Mustek scanner that does comply with the requirements from SmartScore and Finale.

If that doesn't work well, you might as well give up since Finale cannot recognize it's own notation. export a TIFF image from Finale, re-import into Finale. This is not a problem with TIFF, but with the contents of the original PDF file.Ī suggestion. It is likely that the OCR process in Finale doesn't recognize the symbols in the TIFF image as well-formed musical notation. Your 'didn't get good results' comment supports this interpretation.

I have never used Finale, but let me take a stab.Ī) Finale doesn't understand the TIFF file at all, orī) Finale cannot successfully convert the TIFF image into a Finale score ![]()
