Hi all, I’ve gotten a pretty good hang of Dorico basics this week, but now I would love to dive much more deeply, especially Flows, Engraving, Layouts. I’ve scoured YouTube and can only find high-level tutorials, or maybe I just haven’t found the right ones. Does anyone have any suggestions of very good advanced tuts on Dorico? They don’t necessarily have to be free. Thanks for your help!
Which of Dorico’s videos have you checked out already, just to help us get a sense of where you’ve been and where you want to go. (I confess, I’m a bit confused by your “high-level”/“advanced” distinction, @RoGoComposer.)

I remember have purchased this interesting course by Leo Nicholson (a member of this forum too)
Hope this helps.
Thank you for the response—sorry for the confusion!
I’ve gone through quite a few of the ones on the Dorico YT channel. I think part of the issue is that I’m coming into the Doricoworld at 5.1 and I don’t know if the features remained the same from the earlier versions, so never quite sure which videos to watch and I don’t have time to watch everything LOL.
I am especially having difficulties with all the spacing and alignment options in the layouts. As well as trying to figure out the best way to use Flows, Layouts and Master Pages.
I think especially those last points: getting to grips with how best to utilize Flows, Layouts and Master pages will be very useful for me. I come from a DTP background as well, so I’m sure I can get my head around it quickly, but some tutorials getting into the details of how best to use them would be great!
I don’t mind doing more digging around, but I thought I’d ask in case someone here had some specific suggestions.
And thank you @Nordine! I’ll check that out.

In case this one didn’t come up on your watchlist yet, I found it really helpful:

Dorico stayed very consistent with it’s wording. At some point they renamed Master Pages to Page Templates. That’s about it. All the early tutorial videos from the Dorico YT channel are still very helpful (so are the most recently added of course).

Thank you @judddanby and @k_b !
I definitely hadn’t seen that one on my feed @judddanby, so appreciate the link. It looks like it may be exactly what I am looking for! … and since it’s almost three years old, even if I had found it, I wouldn’t have known how current it was, so I appreciate the clarification @k_b!
I was with Finale for 32 years and the transition to Dorico has been almost seamless. When software is done right, it’s done right! Long may it last.

Great!
When you’ve got the time available, so many of John Barron’s Discover Dorico videos are well worth it. I understand about the Dorico-version concern, but the good thing is that the “big-picture” stuff tends to remain in place even as successive versions improve/add.

@RoGoComposer I also learned a lot from John Barrons Discover Dorico sessions. Highly recommended!
