There can be a real tyranny of sameness when writing using notation software so seeing some variety (and fonts that are comfortable to read) is good and students will enjoy using this alternative font.
DORICO ELEMENTS VS PRO PRO
No review can ever do justice to the wealth of features in Dorico Pro 2 and Dorico Elements 2 but I was thrilled to see a new handwritten font (Petaluma). The limit of 12 instruments in Elements 2 shouldn’t hinder students’ creativity but I’d recommend teachers try both versions (as I did) to ensure they can make a sensible decision about which would be suitable for their department. Many students in Secondary schools might not ever use these features so it seems good that other useful things have not been compromised. The significant difference for me is the flexibility in editing you get in the Pro version. The comparison of the two new versions reveals that the entry-level Elements is in no way reduced to prevent some creative work (you can read more here). This Summer (2018), Steinberg released Dorico Pro 2 and Dorico Elements 2 – a new version – offering even more choice for schools but also an entry-level product in Elements. My review of Dorico 1 for MUSIC:ED highlighted the benefits of this relatively new software for schools something that can embrace a more natural, creative approach to writing that might intrigue teachers looking for an alternative.
