Moving around the program is easier and quicker, more ergonomically satisfying and easier to remember. The relationships between areas of the window(s), for instance, and the relative sizes and positioning of their components have all been tightened. Indeed, one of the first things you’re likely to notice on launching Dorico 4 for the first time is the number of improvements to the interface. Although not all composers will want to work with MIDI, those who do are extremely well catered for in Dorico 4.īroadly-speaking Dorico 4 is a triumph because of its enhanced and additional functionality.

Significantly, Dorico 4 shrinks the gap still further between dedicated notation software and audio sequencer packages designed for sophisticated audio reproduction: Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs).
It makes major (but accessible) changes to the user interface. So the fewer concessions to the constraints of a visual interface to handle sound the better.Īs expected, Dorico 4 also adheres splendidly to the philosophy that makes the one world work so well in the other. To put it bluntly: pointing, clicking and keying on a vertical screen can easily get in the way of uninterrupted and unencumbered concentration on musical notation – from for and in an aural world. Successive Dorico releases show that the talented team behind the project has always known that it has to break new ground (and break some rules) if Steinberg wants to offer a sophisticated, feature-rich system which is dynamic, flexible and forward-thinking. Windows versions of Dorico 4 are also available. It’s also to be noted that several features which are new here to Dorico 4’s desktop editions actually first appeared in the iPad release ( version 1.1 ) last summer. You should use the comparison tools on the Steinberg website to identify the edition which best meets your needs. Not everything described in this review is necessarily available for each of the other Dorico editions.

(Typical of Steinberg’s commitment to its users, a small update with over 100 bug fixes was released on February 2 – just three weeks after Dorico 4’s launch.)

It is Dorico Pro 4 which is reviewed here. It is wholeheartedly recommended for newcomers, and those already working with an earlier version.ĭorico 4 is available in four versions or ‘editions’:
Dorico 4 is a spectacular new version of an already superb product. As with MyMac’s previous reviews (versions 2, 3 and 3.5), the present evaluation concentrates on the extent to which the many new features of Dorico 4 actually live up to this release’s slogan, “Supercharge your workflow”.ĭo Dorico 4’s many new features and advances sponsor musical creativity, precision, ease of use… and produce those beautiful (printed) scores?
Last month (January 2022) saw Dorico’s latest release.

Dorico produces clean, particularly readable and visually appealing (full and part) scores – no matter how complex, which are printable to the highest international professional standards. Steinberg’s Dorico family is the world’s leading music notation software for composers, arrangers, orchestrators, educators, performers… musicians of almost any kind.įrom its first version (released in 2016) Dorico has always prioritized creativity: its design and interface actively support the ways in which musicians actually write and edit their scores – rather than expect them to adapt their composition and notation workflows to the technology.
