You can now turn any project into a template.

Even if it is technically more keystrokes to find things, there is way less mental overhead in just typing what you want plainly. In my opinion, having one command that allows for natural-language searching is a workflow win. Popovers are my favorite part of the Dorico workflow, but I sometimes forget which keyboard shortcuts belong to which menus. Just press the letter J, and you can type 'm30' to bounce to measure 30 or 'dynamics' to bring up the dynamics popover. The idea is that you have a keyboard shortcut that brings up a search, you start typing, and then the software smartly displays some options on the screen for places it thinks you want to go or things you want to do.ĭorico has added this feature with their new Jump Bar, and I couldn't be happier. In my note app Obsidian, Command+O smartly searches my notes, and Command+P acts upon them.

I love using Command+O in OmniFocus to open projects and perspectives quickly. The feature is also quite popular in productivity software. If you have used Sibelius, you might be familiar with their Command Search feature. whatever it's called, this feature is becoming very popular in pro-software. 'Command pallet,' 'command search,' 'quick open'. This is a super easy and generous way to handle licensing. Once completed, Dorico can run on up to three machines without connecting to the web.

The new Steinberg Licensing is one of the least frustrating processes for licensing software on my Mac. The e-Licensor was one of the two or three most frustrating licensing processes on my Mac. Here are some quick things that I am excited about in Dorico 4 Licensingĭorico 4 uses Steinberg's brand new Steinberg Licensing, replacing the Steinberg e-Licenser. You can read my first impressions about the iPad version of Dorico, and hear my conversation with Product Marketing Manager Daniel Spreadbury, here.įortunately, the Scoring Notes blog posted a review, which you can read here. This past summer, Dorico released an iPad app, which has many of the design updates and features seen in Dorico 4. It is, in my opinion, the most important and exciting update to Dorico since its release in 2016. Dorico 4 is out! I've been testing it for the past few months, and I'm not even sure I am scratching the surface of what it can do.
