Dorico (/ˈdɒrɪkoʊ/) is a scorewriter software; along with Finale and Sibelius, it is one of the three leading professional-level music notation programs.[2]

It is developed by the company Steinberg who hired most of the original core development team from the competitor Sibelius after the development team were laid off in a 2012 restructuring by Sibelius' owner, Avid.[3][4][5][6][7] Dorico was released four years later, in 2016.

History

The project was unveiled on 20 February 2013 by the Product Marketing Manager, Daniel Spreadbury, on the blog Making Notes,[8] and the software was first released on 19 October 2016.[9]

The program's title Dorico was revealed on the same blog on 17 May 2016. The name honours the 16th-century Italian music engraver Valerio Dorico (1500 – c. 1565), who printed first editions of sacred music by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and Giovanni Animuccia and pioneered the use of a single impression printing process first developed in England and France.[10][11]

Features

Reviews have claimed that Dorico has become more efficient than other notation software.[12][13] For example, a signature time-saving feature is its automatic creation of instrumental part layouts.[13] Another signature feature is its automated condensing, where it combines multiple players' parts onto a single staff, such as for a conductor's score.[14][15] However, Pianist Magazine has warned of Dorico's learning curve; for example it may take patience to learn the keyboard shortcuts.[16]

The development team is influenced by user feedback, for example through its developers' use of the forum and Facebook group.[17][18]

The Standard Music Font Layout (SMuFL) standard was developed by Steinberg for Dorico, which was the second scorewriter to implement it (after MuseScore).[19]

Dorico is known for its automatic condensing. In this conductor's score, Dorico has condensed Oboes 1 and 2 into the same stave.
