Moving From Finale to Dorico or MuseScore
In this special episode of “Music from Humans,” we delve into the challenges and intricacies faced by composers when transitioning between music notation software. With the recent announcement that Finale will no longer be supported, many composers, including our host, are forced to migrate their work to other platforms such as MuseScore and Dorico.
Join me as I explore a personal journey from using Finale, a tool relied upon since the late ’80s, to adapting to new environments. This episode isn’t a tutorial but a real-time exploration of what it takes to transfer compositions across different software. We’ll tackle the technical hurdles, from installation woes to adapting modern notation practices in new systems.
I will share my firsthand experiences with MuseScore and Dorico, highlighting both the possibilities and the challenges of these tools. Whether it’s dealing with file compatibility issues, learning new interfaces, or ensuring that complex musical notations are preserved, this episode covers it all.
👉 Tune in to learn more about preserving the integrity of musical compositions during software transitions, and discover tips on how to choose the right tools for your creative process.
