After an hour I had no idea what I had or didn't have. There was even a window with an iLok error that popped up. Just getting Dorico SE involved downloading and running three separate authorizer/manager/whatever apps, and account updates. So far, none of the usual solutions offered by Support work.This means that I'm stuck in Eval for a product I've purchased. Although there's a place to enter my new license on the web site and I'm able to download and install the components without it, Download Assistant is needed to reconcile the older license on my USB eLicenser. D4 requires Steinberg Download Assistant which has never successfully run on any of my Macs. I'm in upgrade hell regarding my license. Hmmm? I updated to Dorico 4 and the version of HALion SE 3.5 that comes with that passed DP 11.03 verification over Monterey. It runs fine as a standalone app and works OK in Logic.

Just examining the VST3 version leads to a crash. My notation needs ebb & flow, but it's worth having a grasp of the bigger picture.Īny luck with the Halion SE that comes with the free version of Dorico? The AU versions consistently crashes DP here. Need to spend some time there and get my feet wet. Thanks to MH for reminding me about Scoring Notes. Also, some notation software gets updates fairly regularly so such a comparison would require as many updates. If there was no grey area, just yes/no, then it might be easier to complete. Yet, I can see how it's logic works and my opinion is likely to shift as I get more comfortable. When I do the same process in Dorico, it feels clunky because I'm so unfamiliar with it. After 30 years with Finale some things I think of as easy to do are more about the fact that I'm so familiar with them. I'm already seeing some of that in my learning of Dorico. The difference between 'Yes but clunky/stupid' and 'best-in-class' might have more to do with a user's familiarity with the process than the process itself. The issue is in the ease-of-use category. I suspect if you did a comparison grid of whether or not the feature exists in an app, you would find a great deal of similarity-especially in the apps that are targeted for the same kinds of users.
