Join Dorico product specialist John for an introduction to Dorico for Finale users. We know it's hard to say goodbye to a trusted tool that has served you well for decades. In this session, we'll show you how to take your first steps with Dorico, some of the exciting things it can do that Finale cannot, and discuss the ways that Dorico is both similar to and different than Finale. By the end of the stream, you'll feel equipped to try Dorico for yourself and you'll know where to go to find further help, if you need it.
