Though composers, arrangers, and engravers may hold strong preferences in various areas of music notation, perhaps the one area where habits are most ingrained - and resultant preferences most strongly developed - is in note input. New features Pitch before duration in note input Scoring Notes veteran contributors Andrew Noah Cap, Douglas Gibson, Dan Kreider, Florian Kretlow, Claude Lapalme, and Leo Nicholson have spent countless hours kicking the tires of Dorico 3.5 in order to share their expert opinions here.

DORICO VERSIONS SOFTWARE

When asked to summarize Dorico 3.5, Daniel told us, “Part of it is about improving workflow and making the software fit you a bit better part of it is about refinement, because we’ve taken features that were already in the program, whether it’s something big like condensing or divisi, or something that’s been there right from the beginning, like slurs and beams, and making incremental but solid improvements to those features and hopefully about broadening the appeal of the software as well.” Although this is not a free update… it’s relatively inexpensive - about $60 £50.”

DORICO VERSIONS UPDATE

Really, we would prefer to be releasing our major releases at this time of year… the late spring/early summer… Because we know that people only bought the update to Dorico 3 in September last year, we didn’t want to hit them with another big update fee so soon. With all that’s new, why Dorico 3.5 and not 4.0? In a video interview released today, Steinberg product marketing manager told Scoring Notes, “We could have called this Dorico 4.0 - and I think there’s enough in there to do that - but actually what we’re trying to do with this release is reset our schedule. The user interface gets more functional and more appealing, with filter, search, page colors and background colors enlivening the drudgery. Common engraving staples such as the appearance of slurs and beams, which Dorico already handled with great facility, are refined even more. Guitar notation and playback, new to Dorico in 3.0 and updated further in 3.1, sees even more updates. There’s lots new in the guts of VST expression maps, making it easier to set up Dorico to work with your favorite sound library or combinations of several at once. Another exclusive - condensing of instrumental parts - is now possible for section players and divisi. Proper figured bass is a new Dorico exclusive.

The pitch-before-duration method of note input, often referred to as “Speedy Entry” thanks to its use in Finale, comes to Dorico. Dorico 3.5Īs we’ve grown accustomed to expecting in a Dorico upgrade, there’s lots here. Dorico 3.5, which is a paid upgrade, brings forth dozens of new features and improvements for users working in all areas of the program. Today Steinberg has released a new version of Dorico, its scoring program.
