Finale Forum

Hi-

I'm thinking of adding Dorico software onto my hard drive which would be in addition to my Finale v26.
It would be for simple keyboard input, quantization and simple notation. Are there any known issues with installing and using Dorico, for example, that would have a negative affect on Finale? I rely on Finale. Thanks.

No; there's no problem; the only overlap is that Dorico also includes FinaleMaestro, Finale Jazz, Broadway and Ash. There shouldn't be any differences between version of fonts currently. If there are any problems with fonts, you might need to reinstall the Finale fonts, which you can do here:

(Ironically, MM provide SMuFL data files for their text fonts, which makes a mess of the "Music Fonts" list in Dorico, by including the Text fonts in the list.)

You can also use ARIA Player and the Garritan sounds in Dorico. I've made some Expression Maps for Dorico here:

You might use Finale less...?
