It really is a god-send.
I love all new features!
Thank you dev team!! Incredible job.
Works like a charm!

A really small thing, but I leave Dorico up all the time when I sleep the computer. Really nice to not get that annoying dialog complaining about the license not being found on wakeup. Couldnât help be annoyed thinking âcouldnât you just poll a bit and not give up on the first try?â Now I wake the computer and Dorico is all ready and eager to help me

On my Mac, previous Dorico versions would keep the display from going to sleep. Now, when I leave D4 open, I get to see my computerâs screensaver again - I had forgotten what it looked like! Iâm not sure if this is a new thing in Dorico, or if my system has changed in an update somehow, but itâs very welcome.

Rearrangement of the menuâs, with all the settings under Library. Thereâs still focused menus just for Play, Engrave etc, but now those are tight and really contain just items relevant to the mode, and not the universal settings menu. Much easier to use now.

Just so Iâm clear (couldnât find this in the docs, probably in there somewhere though) -
Select a note
- Shift-V is to create and move the not to that voice
- V moves to a different existing note
Any other uses of this for voice management or does that cover it? Thanks -
Thatâs it, Dan. The main thing is that you donât have to do any re-entry or select, filter, and reassign, etc. Itâs much faster and more fluid and really makes cleaning up imports or midi transcriptions much easier.

Hunh, my Keyboard Covers Dorico keyboard, which was made for 3.5, has V (no modifier) as âNext Voiceâ - same as it is in 4 per checking the jump bar for Next Voice (V). So whatâs new exactly?
Before it used to work only in Note Entry, for notes you were about to type/play in. Now it works for any selected notes!

Not a fan of the new colour though, is that a Steinberg thing?

I never really thought about it but the caret itself is also orange. Huh!

What about âChange Voice to Next Voice on Staffâ? This was a keybind in 3.5. I bound it to backslash, and I used it a lot.
EDIT: Fixed actual name of keybind (itâs not âMove to Next Voiceâ, itâs âChange Voice to Next Voice on Staffâ)
I feel is its faster (quick tests only) I hope this allowed this list.
It is faster. Daniel made mention of some parts that would be faster or not. But perceptually I can zip around the application so much quicker, in the parts where it matters. Such as changing modes (Print still requires a wait while it builds the document but thatâs fine).
Yes but thatâs no fun because theyâre not remotely like carrots!
Jump bar is making filtering trivial and quick 
Love it!

âIt does seem faster, but it is (on my machine) a little slower to Save. Not an issue.
âColor options are nice, but might not be new?
âToggle View
âImproved layout handling - easier to make into system.
