Dorico 5 update - thoughts

We all have our personal wish lists, but yeah, I was hoping for a few more of mine on the notation side too. Of the initial 20 things I listed on this thread (and obviously there were a bunch more by lots of others downthread too), I guess I only got #10, and sorta got #16 as I can have a Playback Template that doesn’t load a Space Template. My own personal wish list obviously didn’t fare too well anyway. :man_shrugging: Stacked chord alignment, local settings between parts and score for ottava lines, and Player names on the first system will all certainly be very useful, and the new Pitch Contour Emphasis feature seems to really make a huge improvement in playback with just a single click. I’d love to see more notation features in incremental updates or D6 though too.
