I took them up on their offer of Dorico for $150.
 
End of an era.

Have you ever looked at Musescore, especially recently? It's very quite
full-featured and is continuously improving. And, of course, free. I'm
curious what more you get for $150.

I remember checking out Finale along time ago, and the interface seemed
impenetrable to me at that time. However, I wasn't really used to
notation software then, but after using Musescore for a while, I now
understand the process better and might get along with other notation
programs. But for my fairly limited needs, Musescore ticks off most or
all the boxes.
