I downloaded the demo and had a few plays. I was disappointed that there were no demo scores in which I could guage what Dorico could presently do, and more importantly what it can’t at present. I bought the crossgrade as much to support the team for future development rather than what the program w…

The only way in which I could imagine HALion causing Dorico to be slow on your computer is once your projects start getting large enough that your 4GB RAM is fully consumed, at which point your computer will get a lot slower as it has to use virtual memory (i.e. your disks), which is inevitably a lo…

IMO, Dorico’s slowness is its one big disadvantage. It’s not enough from stopping me to work with it, but it makes it rather hard to work with big scores. I have a brand new stationary computer, with a 4 core 3,4 GHz processor, and 16 GB of internal memory, and still projects tend to be very slow, …

As far as the playback is concerned, after another day of tweaking, I’m using an i5 laptop, 4Gb RAM and a 250Gb SSD. I’m using Asio4All driver and setting the ASIO Buffer Size to 2048 samples, Buffer offset at 10ms has definitely helped playback. I’ve also removed voices such as ‘OOhs’ for vocal lin…

I wouldn’t spend too much time investigating Drum scoring, as that is not really supported yet (at least Drum Sets are not). You should realize that you can have more than one HALion instance opened in a piece of music with many instruments.

Though having more than one instance of HALion active when you’ve only got 4GB RAM might not be a great idea, for the reasons I outlined in my original reply in this thread.

True. I forgot the OP was working with 4 GB RAM.

I have been using Dorico for only a week and despite some beginning difficulties I think this might be a great program for the future. My strategy was to take a piano trio score that I had already engraved beautifully in SCORE and try to replicate the same work with Dorico. The manual doesn’t really…

Thanks for your feedback. I would be interested to hear how the layout that Dorico produced for you wasn’t very good: can you provide any specifics about what we could improve?

The layout that Dorico made did not have the optimal number of measures in a system and also the number of systems per frame were sometimes different on each page. Of course I was able to tweak it until I got it where I wanted and I had the SCORE layout to use as a model. It is not even very difficu…

Thanks very much for your feedback. We certainly plan to implement features to allow you to specify the number of bars per system and systems per page in the near future (not in 1.0.30, but hopefully in the following update). Under the hood, Dorico can also provide any size you need for a staff, so …
