Dorico Files from PraiseCharts
The PraiseCharts arranging team is currently creating all new arrangements in Dorico 6. At this time we are not backfilling and replacing Finale files in our catalog, but if you need a Dorico file for a song that only has Finale, simply purchase the Finale file and then email our support team who will be glad to send you the MusicXML file. Dorico has a great blog to help you translate the project into Dorico. And if you are still finding your way around Dorico, they have created great tutorials at https://www.youtube.com/@dorico.
