Chord symbols in a score—entering, formatting, and styling them.
Dorico 5.1.60 adds support for macOS Sequoia, accommodations for Finale-like behavior during note input, and improved MusicXML import by supporting system and frame breaks by default. Among other improvements, condensing on larger flows has been made faster.
Sibelius 2024.8 brings more features to Android, and new playback features in all mobile Sibelius platforms. The Sibelius Cloud Sharing experience is also refreshed, with transposition, printing, downloading, full-screen view, and page layout views among the enhancements.
Accidentals, coloration brackets, lyrics, barlines, figured bass, staff lines, ornaments, and incipits are among the various areas in Dorico that come into play when working with early music notation.

Darcy James Argue shares basics of well-prepared lead sheets, scores, and parts from a jazz/big band perspective — so that you can communicate musical intent in the most clear, familiar, and unambiguous manner.
Finale has a dedicated tool for resizing the noteheads, notes, staves, systems, or pages of your score. We'll show you all the ways to use it, plus other ways to scale the size of items like accidentals, mid-measure clefs, grace notes, lyrics, and chord symbols.
Sibelius 2023.6 introduces automatic chord symbol completion based on built-in AI technology and trained on several data sets of classical music. As you enter chord symbols, Sibelius will suggest the most likely chord based on the surrounding music.
The Scoring Express Jazz package of templates and libraries for Finale is now available, adding to the popular Chamber and Theatre & Studio packages, and bringing it on par with the versions already available for Sibelius and Dorico.
Dorico 4.3 is out with more powerful controls in the Key Editor and a robust system for automatically generating notes on staves from chord symbols. There's also improvements in the areas of engraving, note input, and editing, and the iPad version is updated, too.
The most recent updates to PlayScore 2 support lyrics, guitar chords, and multi-measure rests. A count-in feature, better rehearsal instrument support, and more improvements are also included. Plus, a preview of what's to come.
