Hi! As one who doesn’t think Cubase needs a completely new Score Editor, I would say I’d like you to read some of my Score Editor feature-requests and tell me what you think.
All my Score Editor feature-requests:
https://forums.steinberg.net/search?expanded=true&q=tags%3Afeature-request%2Bscore-editor%20%40alin89c%20in%3Acreated%20order%3Alatest_topic
The best feature of the Score Editor is that it does not interfere at all with the rest of Cubase. Spoken by a user, who does not use the Score Editor. I have a hunch in this regard I am part of the majority.
So, whatever the Dorico Score Editor in Cubase would bring to the table, please don’'t change the “feature” of not interfering with any other part of Cubase.
Thank you.
What exactly do you mean here?
The Score Editor affects the rest of Cubase just as little (or just as much) as the Key Editor or the List Editor.
The number 1 reason I can’t make a habit out of using Cubase’s Score Editor is the need for initial setup. Yes I’m lazy.
Add a piano VST on a whim to try out a passage → Oh, I need to set up a polyphonic Sol/Fa system.
Add a French Horn → Oh, I need to set up a transposition, oh, the notes are low, now I need to handle the F clef transposition too.
Add percussion → Now that’s a good one!
In summary: Add instruments → Set up each staff.
And it’s a pity, because it 's a very powerful editor. But the initial effort needed to set it up distracts me, and sends me back to the Key Editor. (Even though I prefer to work with notation)
I know what you mean, but—fortunately—templates can be created.
Of course. And I’ve seen your lovely scores, even with voice! I was thinking about more quick and dirty usage, outside a “formal” template.
Hi @alin89c and @Johnny_Moneto ,
Well, as far I can see your feature request list for the Score Editor is pretty long. It would be easier a new one, taken from Dorico, to be implemented because it’s already amazingly powerful.
The current one in Cubase is probably the most outdated Score Editor that is still in use in the market. A dinosaur from the past. So, definitely it should go to the history. 
@Johnny_Moneto , well to be “part of the majority” (in the DAW world) means you are not able to read scores, nor you are familiar enough with the theory behind the music, which isn’t something very positive. Are you still sure that you are one of those DAW users?! 
Those who are not able to read music and don’t use the Score Editor, or any Notation software, they don’t know how the things actually working.
There is no such thing like :
This just means you are not familiar enough with some Cubase functions. The Score Editor interferes a lot with the rest of Cubase, and actually in a very bad way. Actually now way to get both nice sounding audio and nice looking scoresheet out of Cubase. Here Dorico offers far better solutions and you can have both nice audio and scoresheets. But in order to understand this, you need to be familiar with both Dorico and Cubase (Score Editor).
If you investigate more about Dorico, you would find that the Write Mode and the Playback there are far more independent than they are currently in Cubase.
This topic is strictly for those of us who are interested in useful Score Editor that works as it should in order to wirte music by entering notes, articulations / techniques, dynamics and lyrics. Johnny, don’t worry it won’t replace the Key Editor, just it will make Cubase more powerful comping tool and more modern.

No, it doesn’t mean that. It means I am not using the Score Editor.
To be more precise of what I meant: The current Score Editor in Cubase could be removed completely and Cubase would continue to work just the same as before in all other places. Nothing in the rest of Cubase is dependent on the Score Editor being there or not. It is an encapsulated module within a DAW.
I ask for the new “whatever it is going to be” to be designed in the same way. An encapsulated module within a DAW that could be removed without breaking anything.
Hi @Johnny_Moneto and Happy New Year! 
Well, I’m one of those who don’t use the Score Editor in Cubase, too. Cause I find it useless, outdated and terrible.
I hope a new one, actually the in Dorico, will be implemented and it will work the same way as it works there. The Write and Play Modes in Dorico work far more independent than the Score Editor and the Key Editor in Cubase.
As I already said, in Dorico you could get nice and humanized playback + nice and properly looking scoresheet at the same time. This isn’t possible in Cubase even with so much tweaking (I’m not even including the Engrave Mode here).
That is what Cubase should receive as a new Score Editor.
Cheers,

+1 for the new score editor!! No disrespect to the dev, but the market went in a very different direction which made the current score editor outdated and antiquated very quickly. As soon as I’m able, I’m purchasing the update. I am ABSOLUTELY looking forward to future updates/Dorico+Cubase integrations!!
I was surprised it happened so quickly. I saw something (with Daniel?) that alluded to it but it sounded a year away. Looks really interesting.
I found the C13 staff in elements and artist absolutely unusable since it was fixed size and super tiny font. I just recently upgraded to C13 Pro and while “better” if found it very difficult to use compared to Musescore/Dorico/Notion etc.
What’s the compatibility like?
