I've been using Finale since 1994, and am sad.

I'm willing to give Dorico a shot, but that's a lot of years of muscle memory to re-train unless it can be configured to use the same keyboard shortcuts.

The embrace of Dorico is really interesting; at a guess, that seems to me less like a typical product strategy move and more like an engineering team that really cared about the product domain recognizing retirement needs among their codebase and/or team.

Busy day in this niche industry!

What else happened?

It's just that there's thousands of Finale users who were caught by surprise here, and they are up in arms.

I work for one of their competitors, Sibelius, so I have to be on top of it.

A good opportunity to open-source it?
