Notation Project

The key learning outcome is: gain guided experience properly using Dorico most efficiently and effectively. In my opinion, Dorico is the best professional notation software. Depending on your future needs, you may decide it is worth the money to purchase Dorico rather than use MuseScore ... I want you to be able to make an informed decision based on experience.

Requirements

input the score you chose at the beginning of the semester into Dorico.

How to Turn In

Upload the following to a folder called "mus1331-notation-project" on your personal Baylor Box account. We'll talk during class about how you'll add this to your website.

• Dorico file of the score (it will be a file with a .dorico file extension)

• MusicXML file of the score (it will be a file with a .xml file extension)

• MIDI file of the score (it will be a file with a .midi file extension)

• Dorico generated PDF of the score (it will be a file with a .pdf file extension)

Tips

Dorico Reference

Remember: "For experienced users, for whom the commands are stored in what we often call muscle memory, using the keyboard is always faster than using the mouse."

So, for notation software = it's all about the caret!
