Short story, I am sitting in an orchestra rehearsal today. My desk-partner told me, she was now using Dorico for all of her engraving work for students and how happy she was with using it. Trying to recommend it to her colleagues, too. I mentioned the main concept and talked about Dorico’s separation of content and display.
Anyway, at some point we went on with the rehearsal.
With that conversation in the back of the head I noticed in the rehearsal, if the conductor talked about the “display”, the effects he suggested, (lets do a crescendo here, a ritardando there, do this, suggest that…). The colleagues would do so, as professionals do - but get tired after a while and switch off. The few times, where he talked about the “content” of the piece, the substance, the meaning of the music, everybody got drawn into it. A better way to rehearse.
Just thought I mention this, as in a way it resembles Dorico’s concept, being a musical software in it’s best meaning.
Another picture, haute cuisine: you can arrange and display the food nicely on the plate; still that doesn’t mean much, if the food itself, the content, is not up to it…
