What Dorico Pro Is For
Dorico Pro is notation software designed for composers, orchestrators, arrangers, teachers, and publishers. It allows you to create clear, print-ready scores while offering faithful playback of articulations and playing techniques. Ideal for film music, classical, jazz, educational publishing, or studio production, it naturally integrates into a modern DAW environment.
Main Features
Writing and Engraving Without Compromise
Compose and orchestrate complex projects with unlimited instruments, movements, and pieces within a single file. Desktop publishing layout, powerful page templates, and automatic part notation ensure flawless documents, including for conductors thanks to automatic score merging and dedicated excerpt creation.
Realistic Playback and Flexible Mixing
The Live Stage view places your sections on a virtual stage and automatically adjusts panning and room acoustics. Intelligent interpretation provides natural reproduction of articulations, while the Scrub function allows listening to the score forwards or backwards at any speed to check harmonies and errors.
Accelerated Musical and MIDI Editing
The synchronized key editor in Write mode facilitates MIDI data entry and adjustment. MIDI trigger regions allow playing notes or chords off the score to control pattern instruments. Polyphonic MIDI transcription, melodic and rhythmic transformations, and variable input mode streamline every step of the process.
Library, Import/Export, and Instruments
Compare and transfer settings with the library manager. Import from a DAW using extended MIDI import and MusicXML, and enjoy VST3 compatibility. The instrument editor, integrated drum notation, and linked guitar tablature (bends, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, etc.) cover all styles.
