What is Dorik?
A website builder restructuring its plans while the feed repeats every release four times
Two releases are visible behind heavy duplication — the April update appears four times and the March one twice. April introduced a new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Dorik Pro and Agency tiers, added a Table element and tooltip support for links and lists, released seven new templates, and fixed CMS pagination. March released six templates and fixed public API collection items not appearing on live sites, plus collection and page deletion and slug-change problems.
What is MuseScore?
MuseScore Studio 4.7.6 adds PDF, audio and YouTube-to-score conversion via MuseScore.com.
MuseScore Studio is on the 4.7 line, released in May, with patches every one to two months. 4.7.6 is the first patch since then to add a workflow rather than only fixes: options to convert PDFs, audio files or YouTube videos into scores through MuseScore.com, alongside bug and crash fixes.

A website builder restructuring its plans while the feed repeats every release four times
◆ Current state
Two releases are visible behind heavy duplication — the April update appears four times and the March one twice. April introduced a new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Dorik Pro and Agency tiers, added a Table element and tooltip support for links and lists, released seven new templates, and fixed CMS pagination. March released six templates and fixed public API collection items not appearing on live sites, plus collection and page deletion and slug-change problems.
◆ Where it's heading
The plan restructuring is the most consequential item: an unlimited-domain free tier alongside named Pro and Agency plans is a repositioning toward agencies who manage many client sites, with the free tier as the entry point. The feature work stays modest — a table element, tooltips, template volume — and the fixes cluster around the CMS and API, which is where a site builder gets used seriously rather than casually.
◆ Prediction
Expect further agency-oriented capability to follow the Agency plan, since the tier now exists but the window shows no multi-site management features to justify it.
MuseScore
2.5DESIGN
MuseScore Studio 4.7.6 adds PDF, audio and YouTube-to-score conversion via MuseScore.com.
◆ Current state
MuseScore Studio is on the 4.7 line, released in May, with patches every one to two months. 4.7.6 is the first patch since then to add a workflow rather than only fixes: options to convert PDFs, audio files or YouTube videos into scores through MuseScore.com, alongside bug and crash fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
The 4.7 patches have mostly been stability work and library additions (instrument definitions, fretboard diagrams). 4.7.6 instead connects the desktop app to MuseScore.com's conversion service, following 4.6.4's online-sounds work for Cantai. The desktop editor is increasingly a front end for MuseScore.com services.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 4.7.x patches. If the roughly seven-month gap between 4.6 and 4.7 repeats, the next minor release would land around December or January.
