Both programs can do it, it's just Dorico is really designed to do this type of work so it will automate many tasks that you'll have to do manually in Finale. In Finale, if you want to keep it in one file, you can set up Measure #s for each movement as below: fin.png You can also simply duplicate yo...

Measure / Edit Measure Number Regions will let you reset the bar numbering if you want to keep it all in one file. Honestly though, I wouldn't do a multi-movement work in obsolete software if I could at all avoid it. Multi-movement works are one thing that Dorico really excels at, as you can use a d...

As benwiggy guessed they are basically alphabetical 1. Bravura 2. CapoScore 3. Concerto 4. Finale Engraver 5. Finale Legacy 6. Finale Maestro 7. Leipzig ...

the metronome indications seem awfully big for a chamber music score. You're probably right, I just left everything as my defaults. Originally tempo, if indicated at all, was just text. Then the metronome came along in the early 1800s so metronome markings started to creep into scores, but they wer...

However, context is everything. I just tried replacing the Bravura quarter rests with Maestro in a Dorico file, and the Maestro looks too thin. Bravura is perhaps a little heavy for the context but only a little. Totally agree. Bravura and some of the Dorico defaults are generally a bit heavy for m...

Here's a quick comparison with all my default settings: MichelTest.png I'm not super happy about the two slurs in the Violin that end up running along the top line so I would edit those. I'm trying out a new (to me this week) treble clef too as I'm bored with Bravura, but it might be a touch laid ba...

Math, how does it work? LOL! Yes, 1/5 is obviously thicker than 1/6, sorry!

The Dorico defaults for lines are pretty decent IMO, with settings of ... Staff: 1/8 spaces Ledger: 1/6 spaces Thin barline: 1/5 spaces Stem thickness: 3/25 It looks like you are generally lightening things a little bit, but reinforcing the stems. For general principles, I think with hand engraved m...

one starts to see strange things, if you look at them for a longer time. :-) I don't like like, when the lower tip (don't know, if this is the right word for it) hits the 2nd line. 1 is probably Bravura, which fits nicely into the stronger look of the font, but looks a bit odd in this context. Haha...
