What it is
Dorico Pro 6 is Steinberg's flagship music notation software, built for composers, arrangers, and orchestrators who need publication-quality scores. It pairs an intelligent engraving engine that automatically formats notation to professional standards with a full playback system powered by the included HALion Symphonic Orchestra library, so you can hear realistic renditions of your scores as you write them.
Who it's for
Students, educators, and anyone in formal music education who needs to write and print scores for ensembles ranging from solo instruments to full orchestras and choirs. It also suits composers writing for film, media, or concert work who want engraving-quality notation without hiring a copyist.
Key features
- A proofreading panel automatically flags voice-leading, rhythmic, and other notation issues
- One-click cutaway and condensed conductor scores speed up part preparation for large ensembles
- Customizable chord symbols, staff labels, and Fill View give fine control over how a score looks
- Built-in support for MusicXML, MIDI, PDF, MP3, and WAV covers import, export, and sharing finished scores
