The scope of Insert mode operations can now be changed, editing only the current voice, or all voices on the current instrument, or all instruments in the flow. Dorico 4 takes Insert mode to the next level, introducing an editable stop position, so that a point is specified in the flow beyond which any changes that ripple forwards from an earlier edit in Insert mode should stop. Insert mode is one of Dorico’s unique superpowers, allowing users to easily change rhythms, insert or remove music from the middle of a flow, while retaining all subsequent music. With melodies, bass lines and inner textures automatically captured, completion is only a few steps away as soon as recording is over. Whether using the new smart MIDI import workflow or recording music in real time from a MIDI keyboard, Dorico 4 now automatically separates the music played into separate voices, producing a much cleaner transcription than ever before. Dorico 4 changes all this at a stroke, introducing a powerful new MIDI import workflow that intelligently interprets incoming tracks, and remembers the user’s choices for future imports. ![]() Smart MIDI importīringing MIDI data into music notation software from a large orchestral template in a DAW can take hours, meticulously copying and pasting music from one staff to another, deciphering track names to work out what instrument and playing technique they might represent. Editing continuous controllers, dynamics and velocities in line with the music notation has never been easier, and producing mock-ups and rehearsal tracks is now even quicker with Dorico 4. The view is automatically kept in sync, so users will never get lost. With the introduction of a dedicated Key Editor in the lower zone in Write mode, it’s now easier than ever to shape the MIDI performance of music notation. With Dorico 4, it’s quicker and easier than ever to go from inspiration to finished product. Every member of the family, from the free Dorico for iPad and Dorico SE, through the mid-range Dorico Elements, to the flagship Dorico Pro, is refreshed with powerful new workflows. HAMBURG, Germany - Steinberg today announced the immediate availability of major new updates to its Dorico family of music notation and composition software. Working in Dorico, I feel like a musician.The latest versions of Steinberg’s complete family of music notation and composition software for Mac, Windows and iPad introduce fast and powerful new workflows. When working in Finale, I always feel like a (rather incompetent) mechanic. Personally I find the creative process far more open-ended with Dorico. If the school doesn’t have any standard product you must use, then it comes down to your productivity and creativity. I know some of the faculty at one of your targeted schools, so PM me if you want help with that contact. Email the faculty at the schools you are considering and ask their advice. ![]() For a long time, Finale had the edge here, but I doubt it is so clear-cut these days. It will be to your advantage to be very fluent in the software that is favored at the music school you attend. There is some obscure graphical thing that can’t easily be done in another product (very rare these days)īut considering you don’t have either product right now, I’d think the most important consideration is the point about collaboration.You work for a publisher that requires submissions in Finale.You aren’t in a position to buy a license for a second product.You collaborate with people who use Finale exclusively.You have been doing it for 20 years and can’t afford the learning curve of a different product.All things being equal, it is a no-brainer.
