I know you’re thinking about scripting — are there any plans for a way for other apps to control Dorico?
Personally, I’d love a full AppleScript object model. But in the absence of that, can we have a way to trigger a Dorico script via AppleEvent (either by sending the name for a saved script, or sending the text of a script), and receive the result?
Here’s an example use case. I’m currently working on a play script. I’m using Sibelius for the music, and Google Docs for the words. I wanted to write a script that would download the Google Doc, convert it to PDF, iterate through the pages to find ones with a certain bit of text that functioned like a tag for inserting music, then trigger Sibelius to open that file, update a couple of bits of text in it, export it to PDF, then take the resultant PDF output and combine it with the Google Docs PDF.
I can also see wanting to script it in conjunction with InDesign.
Any plans for this?
