We intended it to introduce new users to the first steps they would likely want to take when they opened their copy of Dorico for the first time. You can find the First Steps guide and its supporting resources here.Īlthough we first published the First Steps guide nearly two years ago for Dorico 3.5, long-time readers of Dorico documentation might remember that for some time in its early days, there was a short chapter in the full Operation Manual called “First steps”. Our First Steps guide for new Dorico users was updated in February to correspond with functionality available in Dorico 4, and translations of this updated version are now available in German, Japanese, French, and Italian.
