![]() ![]() Dorico can only make tempo variations (sometimes needing to go in and out of Play/Write mode) but not pauses, which are essential to this kind of music.įurthermore, the examples here have lyrics, sung correctly on each note or melisma, and this too was generated by Sibelius. The entire rubato feel was handled by Sibelius. Sibelius can enter tempo changes at the push of a key, and pauses of any duration (programmable) and playback rall, rit, and other things as well. There was no DAW used to prepare the performance. You can hear lots of rubato, and particularly listen for pauses – little gaps of silence between words and phrases.

(Listen to audio examples below of Sibelius midi files played by Synthesizer V.)ģ - Dorico does not have video output (of the playback with cursor following the music) whereas Sibelius does. This is absolutely essential for me, as I’ve recently taken to using Synthesizer V, which everyone will likely be doing in the coming years. You can add them to the printout of Dorico, but they don’t affect playback, as they do in Sibelius (which also lets you custom design their behavior, and add your own additional custom articulations)Ģ - Dorico midi export does not include lyrics readable by other programs, whereas Sibelius does. Fermatas, breath-marks, and other short silent gaps are essential in a lot of music (particularly accapella choral) and Sibelius has been doing this for years. But frustrated that a program so great is still missing deal-breaking features that Sibelius has had for years.ġ- It does not playback pauses. ![]() It’s better than Sibelius in a ton of ways. Disappointed, not because the program is bad. Four Things Dorico Can’t Do (That Sibelius Can)ĭorico has a 30% discount price at the moment, so after reading so many great things, I tried a demo in the hopes of switching this month.
