If so, which programs are "performing" the best?
Are you using them as a standalone, or in conjunction with your DAW?

Before I switched to Cubase for rendering I got Finale to do this:
It was a mixture of the human playback feature in Finale and layering the articulations such as using shorts for accents and cimbasso for tuba accents. I switched to a DAW because I am extremely expressive when I play live which Finale cannot capture. I felt like Finale was playing my mock-ups, not me, so I switch to DAW so I could play everything in live like this:Rodney, while not as realistic as required by a final production, this mockup is incredibly convincing. Was this also due to the Human Performance algorhythms of Finale?
Is there a reason you eventually switched to a DAW? And, do you think that separation between written and played notes in Dorico could have helped you staying in the notation software?

Is anyone here using a notation program to make their mockups?
Hi Jamie, if you don't mind me asking... are you aware of any course that is specific on learning Cubase Score editor, I have always found this powerful part of Cubase neglected by people who teach Cubase... I think that a specific course on the score editor would be very popular... Cheers, Max T.I write all my orchestral mockups in Cubase's Score Editor. I am ridiculous.
I'm afraid I am not aware of any such course. But I agree that it is a rather neglected element in terms of available tutorial resources.Hi Jamie, if you don't mind me asking... are you aware of any course that is specific on learning Cubase Score editor, I have always found this powerful part of Cubase neglected by people who teach Cubase...

I used to do everything in Sibelius before switching to Cubase. It can be tedious to get decent results, but in some ways I still prefer the work flow to that of Cubase. Here are a few examples of Sibelius-only mock-ups.

These are quite impressive with Sibelius. Is this with Note Performer?
Thanks for your kind reply and feedback... Cheers, Max T.I'm afraid I am not aware of any such course. But I agree that it is a rather neglected element in terms of available tutorial resources.
I also gather that it is generally not that well regarded by people who know their score editors!
I only use it out of habit and for reasons connected with my silly workflow. I use mouse to enter notes on the stave, note by note - I do not play things in.
But I do not really read music.
So as I am positioning the note, I need to hear all potential notes as I hover over them over the stave. When I hear the note I need, I release the mouse button.
For this rather unwieldy process to work best for me I need to be able to have the whole range of chromatic notes available for me right there as I'm hovering over the stave. But pretty much every other 'proper' notation package I've tried requires a chosen key signature - after which hovering over the stave only sounds the diatonic notes of that chosen scale. Sure you can enter a note and flatten or sharpen it after if necessary but it just doesn't work for me. I need to have the full chromatic range available to me immediately as I position the note.
