As a veteran Sibelius user, I was a little dubious regarding the opportuniy of picking up a new software. In the end I decided to go for it, and am happy with the choice. So I am a novice on Dorico, but a veteran on music typing. What I like is the fact that this course is thorough, and that it guides you step by step through all the major situations you might happen to encounter. Working on single assignments is the way to go. Kudos to Luke Carlson, who is knowledgable and reassuring even in the thorniest of situations.
