That’s significant, as this can be quicker than handwriting. Where it starts – easy keyboard-style entry. Seeing that come to iPad is a big deal.Īnd it seems Steinberg have done enough with Dorico that this could appeal to two groups – both those wanting to focus on the iPad as their main tool, and those wanting it as a satellite to the desktop software. But Dorico has workflows and advanced functionality, derived from tons of feedback from Finale and Sibelius users, that set it apart. Notion from PreSonus does – and the mobile app is excellent, and probably the best point of comparison. That means taking scores on the go – using them alongside your instrument as you write or arrange, editing in rehearsals, sketching ideas when you’re mobile, and just physically being able to put the entire score interface on a piano desk or music stand.ĭorico’s big rival Finale doesn’t have an iOS app to even compare here. But having a companion tablet app is important, too, because of how you would work with paper scores.

Without going into the full competition, that’s already enough to shortlist the desktop version. But recent versions start to fluidly move between parts and scores and handle various musical conventions in a way that’s seamless. So it’s taken Dorico some time to evolve.
You’re taking something that originally evolved around hand engraving and trying to make it conform to digital rules, and still make it something you can use in a creative flow as a composer or arranger or player. Now, building notation software is hard – you’re essentially bundling together a whole lot of different cultures and histories together. First, for those who haven’t been tracking notation software, Dorico is special in that it features a new generation of notation tools and a lot of the team that originally worked on Sibelius.
