In Sibelius, if you play rhythms robotically & slowly but in time & with some quantisation you can produce most of the pitch, rhythms & chords correctly in one playing. One disadvantage is, although there is meant to be something similar, I haven't found an easy way to play in a score on a music keyboard. But if you want scores still in copyright eg most pop you need a paid subscription. If you join a free membership you can freely download any PD scores others have uploaded (eg a lot of Bach), open in Musescore and edit / transpose to your heart's content.
One great thing is the sister site *** Site blocked for copyright reasons ***. It feels reasonably similar to my old Sibelius 4 but has better implementation of a few things and less good but useable implementation of others. Once you have downloaded it play around with it & goo gle any questions (include "in Musescore") and you nearly always find the answer. Yes, considering it's free and has most of the features anyone would need, it would make sense to at least try Musescore. My subscription to Sibelius is expiring, so I am considering whether it is worth the effort and switch software package if that better suits my needs.

I toggle between an old version of Sibelius (4) and the newest version of (free) Musescore for anything else. To be honest though, I only use it for scores to be published. Dorico is good for fingering - the numbers are placed close to the noteheads automatically (and I think you can change the default position). I don't write avant garde music though or electric guitar effects so I can't comment on those extended notations. I've indicated all the usual signs including harmonics, pizz etc.
He provided me with a template to his style and so far I have not found any normal classical guitar notation elements missing. My publisher prefers Dorico so I bought it to get my scores published quicker. I saw some comments on the Dorico forum that the software could be improved in these regards.

(over Sibelius, which I am using now) I am particularly interested in aspects like indicating flageolets/harmonics and fingering annotations for my arrangements.
