Product Description

Please note, this is the Elements version of Dorico 4

Dorico is a complete family of music notation software suitable for musicians of every experience level and budget. Compose, arrange, write and print out music from the comfort of your laptop or tablet. Dorico Elements is geared more towards home users and students looking for entry-level music notation, while Dorico Pro is aimed at a professional audience and comes with a bunch of special features, such as the HALion Symphonic Orchestra and hundreds of customisable options coming included. With versions suiting a range of price points and needs, find the right one for you here at Andertons! 

Here's what Steinberg say about Dorico 4

Compose 

Composing, arranging — or just writing and printing out music — is made much quicker and more efficient 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 finest traditionally engraved music, and the software provides tweaking tools to satisfy the most demanding professional. Producing high-quality, crystal-clear scores for selling or performance has never been faster or easier.

Some of the new features included in Dorico 4 

Key Editor in Write mode  

With the introduction of a dedicated Key Editor in the lower zone in Write mode, it’s now easier than ever to shape the MIDI performance of your music notation. The view is automatically kept in sync, so you’ll never get lost. Edit continuous controllers, dynamics and velocities in line with your music notation – produce mock-ups and rehearsal tracks more quickly in Dorico 4.

Smart MIDI import 

Bringing MIDI data into music notation software from a large orchestral template in a DAW can take hours, meticulously copying and pasting music from one staff to another, deciphering track names to work out what instrument and playing technique they might represent. Dorico 4 changes all this at a stroke, introducing a powerful new MIDI import workflow that intelligently interprets incoming tracks, and remembers your choices for future imports.

Insert mode scope 

Insert mode is one of Dorico’s unique superpowers, allowing you to easily change rhythms, insert or remove music from the middle of a flow, while retaining all subsequent music. Dorico 4 takes Insert mode to the next level, introducing an editable stop position, so that you can specify a point in the flow beyond which any changes that ripple forwards from an earlier edit in Insert mode should stop, but also making it possible to insert material. You can now change the scope of Insert mode operations, editing only the current voice, or all voices on the current instrument, or all instruments in the flow. And as you add material to all instruments, you can choose between pushing music forwards into following bars, or enlarging the current bar, making it easier than ever to create cadenzas or free rhythm sections.

Melodic and rhythmic transformations 

Common melodic and rhythmic transformations such as rotation, inversion and reversal are now all just one click away – and unlike plug-ins or add-ons in other music notation software, these tools are deeply integrated, and work not only on notes themselves, but on all other notations, including slurs, dynamics, playing techniques, and so on. Transform music from one scale to another, or perform complex pitch mapping. And everything can be driven from a popover in just a few keystrokes, too.

On-screen keyboard, fretboard and drums 

The lower zone in Write mode not only houses the Properties panel, the new Key Editor, and the Mixer, but also three new on-screen instruments to make note input quicker than ever – and all of them are touch-enabled for Windows devices with touch screens, like the Microsoft Surface. Click or tap notes into the score from the piano, input guitar tab directly by touching the string and fret on the fretboard, or see all of the percussion instruments in your kit at a glance with the drum pads!
