The complete professional notation and composition software for demanding composers, arrangers, publishers and educators writing for ensembles of any size – here as an education version.

Dorico Pro supports you at every stage from composing and arranging to publishing: music can be moved between players, exploded or reduced onto more or fewer instruments, transformed and turned into fully voiced parts from chord symbols. Automatic engraving produces balanced notation by default, while thousands of customisation options, DTP page layout and condensed conductor’s scores created with a single click meet the demands of publishers. As Dorico is widely used in schools, colleges and universities, it is well suited to producing learning materials and building an understanding of music theory, with tutorials and well-structured documentation to help students get started. New features in this version include automatic score checking in the Proofreading panel, one-click cutaway scores, Cycle Playback and multiple rows of chord symbols.
