As for the supposed objectivity of 'out of the box with no tweaking', only casual users would do no setting adjustments in any of these programs - the whole point is they are all very flexible.
I disagree with that claim. I'm typesetting new pieces for practical choir use almost on a weekly basis and I simply do not have the time to do setting adjustments unless it is very obviously broken.
It is fine that Dorico (and AFAIK Finale as well) provide a vast amount of tweaking possibilities to adjust spacing and other things.
For my every day use it is important how much or rather how little tweaking effort I have to invest to get a fairly decent job done.
In that department Lilypond trounces the competition. Kind regards, Michael -- Michael Gerdau email: [email protected] GPG-keys available on request or at public keyserver
