Compose
Dorico is the only music notation software designed from the ground up for composing, and it supports you at every stage in the process. Flexible input and editing tools allow you to change your mind about any decision at any time, and work without constraint.
Arrange
Quickly move music between players, explode or reduce it onto more or fewer instruments. Powerful transformation tools allow you to change tonality, perform inversion, map onto new scales, and more. You can even create fully-voiced parts from chord symbols.
Perform
Dorico comes with hundreds of high-quality sounds, more than 30 effects processors, and a full audio Mixer, plus tools to help you make your music sound as good as it looks. The integrated Key Editor allows you to tweak every aspect of your score’s performance.
Share
Dorico can import MIDI and MusicXML, and export MIDI, MusicXML, audio, and graphics. Whether you’re working on your own or part of a team, it’s easy to get music into the hands of your performers or collaborators. Projects are also fully compatible between desktop and iPad.
Publish
Dorico formats your music beautifully, completely automatically. With Dorico Pro, you have the tools to meet the demands of any publisher, with thousands of options for customization. But you’ll almost never need them – everything looks great by default.
