Dorico will be the first notation app to offer Automatic Collusion™.
(Misreading another forum post thus took me down a dark alley…)

Personally, I’m a big fan of Automatic Delusion (patent pending).

I thought it was supposed to be “collusion avoidance”…

There is one more feature I badly miss at Dorico, the ‘print without printer’ option! You put a blank sheet on the screen, (Mac or PC, you can define which one), choose ‘advanced printing mode’, press enter, wait 5 seconds and the sheet will be done! I’m sure Finale could do this easily!

Oh my god I almost fell for this 
It’s a bit obscure, but a friend and I had the idea of a laser toaster back in 1980 or so. Surely by now Dorico should be able to print to toast? Standard white bread should be a selectable paper size.

Dorico needs the Sibelius ribbon, best feature ever. It’s so simple! It shows you where things are instead of opening them.

How about a ‘convert genre’ function? It would be great to take my favourite music and convert it to disco. Could be useful for Strictly / Dancing with the Stars too.

Or *delusion avoidance, i.e., the ability of the software to keep you from falling into the trap of thinking it can do everything… But that’s more life skill, than a software issue, I suppose.

A real Engraving Option for those who prefer the appearance of handed-engraved music, in which one can engrave the staff lines on a simulated metal plate, one by one, with a ruler and cutter, do the casting off with a ruler and compass, knock in the braces, clefs, bar lines, note heads, accidentals, dynamics, articulations etc, with simulated punches, then the stems and the beams, slurs etc.

Dear DevTeam,
I have feature request. I hope this is the right section to put it in your consideration.
In order to recreate the idea of portable, vintage printed sheet music, it would be great to add the “Music Typewriter Input Mode”. Write and Engrave mode would merge, insert function disappear and the caret will transform into a virtual representation of a MT (with the right size of course), in front of everything. Using only the mouse, one could literally push the buttons in order to write the music and manually and drag the machine left and right, up and down. See example below.
I hope this could be part of Dorico 6. It should be easy to achieve, especially for the tablet version.
With love

Brilliant on so many levels! 
I’ve had an eBay alert set up for that Keaton for well over a decade! They are very cool but have gotten crazy expensive! One went for over $5K last month so it’s unlikely I’ll ever own one.

Yes for sure!
I would love to have one just for collection purposes, but yes. Indeed those are expensive.
