Hi grenadilla428,
I understand what you mean about Dorico, but after doing the small learning curve, I actually find Dorico a million times more usable than Sibelius.
I use both, and I used to have a volunteer job working three days a week running a desktop publishing setup for a community orchestra on Sibelius before I switched to Dorico, so I'm very familiar with both.
Dorico takes a little bit of learning because it is very different, but once you have done that tiny bit of learning, everything is just so much easier and quicker than in Sibelius. The trick to learning to use it is that you need to be willing to google to find out how to do things, because the user interface is not always totally easy to figure out. The docs are super-helpful though and really well written. I never find anything that I can't get on the first google search.
I almost never go back to Sibelius now. The only exception is when I need to run scripts in Sibelius, which is a thing that it really does well. That's for example, when I need to batch process scripts or automate the process of putting in brass fingerings.
I just today upgraded to photoscore ultimate and it's great for scanning in scores when I want to play them back to understand complex timing. I export from photoscore in xml format and then into Dorico and it works really well.
Best wishes,
Jen
