Steinberg Dorico Pro 3.5 Scoring Software
Make beautiful music, fast

and plays it back with breathtaking realism. It is easy enough for anyone to learn, yet has hundreds of
advanced notations, features, options and sounds to satisfy even the most demanding professionals.
What you can do with Dorico
Compose
Composing, arranging — or just writing and
printing out music — is made much quicker and
more effcient with Dorico. Thanks to its
intelligent design, it automatically adjusts the
notation as you write. With nearly 1,500 sounds
included, arrangements can be played back
with exceptional realism and, with no
workarounds needed for advanced notation,
Dorico produces excellent results much more
quickly than has been possible before.
Learn
With its streamlined, natural user interface,
students can compose and arrange straight into
Dorico, making learning the language of music
notation much faster and more intuitive. Editing
and making changes — such as instrument,
time signature or key — are straightforward,
with the notation instantly and correctly
adapting to include them. For teachers,
producing teaching materials and hand-outs
that mix music and text is easy, and it’s never
been quicker to adapt arrangements for your
band, orchestra or other school ensemble.
Publish
Dorico is the perfect tool for music engraving,
publishing and copying. It automatically lays out
pages of balance and beauty, with
comprehensive collision avoidance and
advanced algorithms that handle almost any
musical context with ease. Music made with
Dorico has the look of the fnest traditionally
engraved music, and the software provides
tweaking tools to satisfy the most demanding
professional. Producing high-quality, crystalclear scores for selling or performance has
never been faster or easier.
