The notation software for composing and arranging for ensembles of any size, with everything you need to make beautiful scores – here as an education version.

Dorico Elements is suitable for use at home and by students in secondary education, and dozens of tutorials and well-structured documentation make it quick to learn. You enter notes with keyboard or mouse, automatic engraving ensures clean, legible notation, and the conductor’s score and individual parts are created automatically from the flows in your project. Integrated MIDI editors, linked guitar tab, drum notation and six chord symbol conventions cover a wide range of styles, while hundreds of sounds, more than 30 effects processors and an audio mixer take care of playback. New features in this version include automatic score checking in the Proofreading panel, Cycle Playback, multiple rows of chord symbols, Fill view and the Jump Bar for quick access to every option.
