Recently discovered that Dorico does not support fountain pens. Yet it supports Apple Pencil, and as per the recent video tutorial ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAhPojbPqpQ ), it even supports flash cards. This is a huge void. In order to make inroads into the university market, Dorico absolutely must support fountain pens and it is a fundamental upgrade to include in version 6.
Dorico supports Colors in Properties, yet it does not support colors in fountain pens yet either. Is this a Steinberg VST limitation? I don’t think so. I don’t think it is a problem of Qt either because clearly Qt supports that. Why not add this into the new Dorico Pro Ink version and allow schools to flourish in writing music the way it was meant to be written?
Steinberg Has Teamed up with SETI. The plan is to build an 8 billion dollar transmitter that constantly beams Dorico User’s compositions into outer space in hopes it will convince aliens from other worlds to make contact. Only aliens registered as members of BMI, SESAC, or ASCAP; and, running a certified Apple device, running a genuine Apple OS (no jail breaks or hacked versions) will be able to receive and unencrypt the signal.
In conjunction with the transmitter project, Dorico will return to using the dongle. It will be a special 14lbd dongle that transmits users’ work to a 9 billion dollar server farm, (then on to the interstellar transmitter). The dongle requires a smart battery powered by Microsoft (only $9.88 per month to charge it at participating Tesla charging centers).
The sever farm will also deploy AI that analyzes every composition and issues warnings and citations if your composition is too much like something someone else has already submitted.
Dorico takes your security seriously! Opening the software will require a blood sample, urine sample, bone marrow sample, and a tissue biopsy from somewhere inside the skin of your body. Analysis of each sample will be sent to Dr. Fauchi in the USA to assist him in engineering the next global pandemic…
To assist users in experiencing regular brain seizures the play back cursor will pulse at various intervals for long periods of time.

Dorico will include an IA that guarantees you only write good pieces. While you are writing the piece, the IA analyses it. If the IA doesn’t like it, writing option freezes and only option is to begin a new project.
I honest-to-God misread this as “Pope’s Law” which is just as apropos . Dear old Francis is known to make confusing, contradictory, and ambiguous remarks, which require digging in to find out what is actually meant.
Add some AI that fixes all the dissonances. If the user makes them dissonant again, fix them again. (Apple should have some routine for this in their iOS typing keyboard…)
You’ve inspired me to coin a new phrase, @Paolo_T: “Music without any dissonance is like weightlifting without any mass. Neither one does much of anything.”
The Italian version of the text entry corrector is particularly ostinate. For example, a typical mistake is using the clitic “ce” instead of the clitic+verb “c’è”. iOS insists to replace “ce” with “c’è” each time. If you enter it again, it fixes it again.
Another example: if you type the past participle “stato”, you often find it changed to “sterò”, that has no meaning at all. And it insists it is the right word at that point.
So, why shouldn’t a modern and intelligent program like Dorico not change all your Major Sevenths to an Octave?
In the tablet version, do something really cool: entry will be done by scratching the stencil of the desired symbol. Not quick, but it will help reflexivity and offer a satisfactory skeuomorphic experience!

Okay, 
“Solution”!
