Used Dorico for the first time. Someone sold me a licence in 2022. I upgraded to Dorico 4 and never used it until now. 😹 I saw features way back that are pertinent to my work, but right now I can't say that it's intuitive to use. I was frustrated with things I wanted. Some unnecessary steps waste time. I checked forums, and early posts suggested that Dorico polices how conventional notation should be. Not cool. But I need to future-proof my work. #ContemporaryClassical #ClassicalMusic #Composer

@grumpykittyboy Paper is more future proof

@SarahAndreaRoyce you would think so? But my family has been a victim of house fire not only once but twice. I lost all of my childhood memorabilia all the way until high school. That's why paper is the easiest to disappear. Also not mentioning that re-engraving all written scores of a lifetime into digital form will be insurmountable work. 😹

@grumpykittyboy Even digital data has to be stored physically. And where that is and how easily destroyed it is does not lay entirely in your control. Usually there are backups stored in remote locations - but that can be true for paper as well.

@SarahAndreaRoyce i guess it should be both paper and digital anyway. With paper future-proofing, there should be proper physical infrastructure, which I have access to. Digital future-proofing allows easier distribution and decentralization/redundancy.
