What tools are appropriate for professional engravers these days?
I was a theory and comp major back in the early 90s, and I used Finale to do a few small engraving commissions and to make big band and wind ensemble charts back then. It took a long time, but with work I was able to achieve pretty much what I wanted. Some of the other tools I checked out, I immediately thought, "I can't do that? No way, that's totally unacceptable."
- lukeh 6y agoThe two people I use for engraving/part preparation are both using Dorico. I also use it for composition. It's occasionally a bit sluggish (on a loaded 2019 Mac Pro) but otherwise great.
