Notation Project

The key learning outcome is: gain guided experience properly using Dorico and MuseScore 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 8 linear measures of a score that is a trio or larger into Dorico (it muse be in the public domain)

• input 8 *different* linear measures of the same work into MuseScore

• for both Dorico and MuseScore = you must input notes using the MIDI keyboard and find ways to avoid using the mouse

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!
