What is Dorik?
Dorik's feed has slowed to template drops and small editor fixes since April's plan change.
The two entries since April are six new templates in June and a container-resizing fix in August. The last substantive update remains April's new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Pro and Agency tiers, plus a Table element and tooltips. Older feed entries still repeat each release several times.
What is MuseScore?
MuseScore Studio 4.7.7 is a maintenance patch after 4.7.6's score-conversion feature.
MuseScore Studio 4.7.7, released November 12, updates translations, supports FFmpeg 9, makes small instrument improvements and fixes bugs and crashes. The 4.7 line's only feature patch remains 4.7.6 in October, which added PDF, audio and YouTube-to-score conversion through MuseScore.com.
Dorik vs MuseScore: editorial side-by-side
Dorik
0.0DESIGN
Dorik's feed has slowed to template drops and small editor fixes since April's plan change.
◆ Current state
The two entries since April are six new templates in June and a container-resizing fix in August. The last substantive update remains April's new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Pro and Agency tiers, plus a Table element and tooltips. Older feed entries still repeat each release several times.
◆ Where it's heading
Since the plan restructuring, the visible work has been maintenance. The agency-facing features suggested by the new tier have not appeared in the feed, and the cadence has dropped to about one short note every two months.
◆ Prediction
Expect more template batches and small editor fixes. No agency capabilities are visible yet, so whether they arrive is unclear.
MuseScore
5.0DESIGN
MuseScore Studio 4.7.7 is a maintenance patch after 4.7.6's score-conversion feature.
◆ Current state
MuseScore Studio 4.7.7, released November 12, updates translations, supports FFmpeg 9, makes small instrument improvements and fixes bugs and crashes. The 4.7 line's only feature patch remains 4.7.6 in October, which added PDF, audio and YouTube-to-score conversion through MuseScore.com.
◆ Where it's heading
The 4.7 line is in steady maintenance, with patches every few weeks since May. The one added workflow sends users to MuseScore.com, so the online service is where new capability shows up while the desktop app mostly gets stability work.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 4.7.x fix patches; the entries give no sign yet of when a 4.8 line starts.
