So, seems like my decades run with Finale is coming to an end. So I’ve been dabbling in Dorico to do some notation. Here is a Finale version of Brecker’s Funky Cha-Cha solo on Finale and Dorico.
While I consider myself an extreme Finale power user (like, I know that program in and out), Dorico has some potential. I think the BIGGEST issue is there is a lack of a plugin ecosystem. And Scripting is pretty much non-existent on it. I do rely on some Finale Scripts to do things.

Did you just do the whole MusicXML export/import nonsense? Or did you do extra cleanup/processing in Dorico?
I originally did it in Finale. I did export it via xml and imported it into Dorico. Maybe 5 minutes of cleanup. The first page title stuff, and second page title/page number stuff mostly.
