Please allow me to add my own welcome to the forum, @Coe, and I hope you’ve found that the responses you’ve had both from my colleague Lillie and from some of your fellow users might help to persuade you that Dorico is a good choice for your projects.
Dorico certainly shouldn’t be crashing, and I’m sorry that you have experienced some crashes. Unfortunately the diagnostic report you have uploaded doesn’t include any crash dump files, which is not uncommon on Windows. Please follow the steps under Dorico is crashing. What do I do? in the FAQ thread, and next time Dorico crashes you should find that if you re-create the diagnostic report via the Help menu, the zip file will be a bit bigger. Please then upload that file here and I’ll take a closer look.
