This article was largely written during Dorico’s beta period, and finished just after the first beta release of version 1.0.20, so it should be considered as a preview rather than a review. To say that expectations are high for Dorico would be something of an understatement, given the general affection people have had - myself included - for Sibelius over the years. Recognising an opportunity, Steinberg decided to hire the group to develop a brand-new notation application, and, over the last four years, Product Marketing Manager Daniel Spreadbury (former Sibelius Product Manager) has been documenting the team’s effort on his Making Notes blog ( ).
Dorico’s genesis began when Avid closed the UK office where Sibelius was being developed and moved its development elsewhere, leaving most of the original team with a good deal of time on their hands. Named after the late-15th-century music engraver Valerio Dorico - a code name that stuck - Dorico aims to set the new standard in scoring software.īefore we begin, let’s first address the elephant in the concert hall. On October 19th 2016, after nearly four years of development, Steinberg released the first major new scoring application to appear on the market in years. We explore the initial release and discover the thinking behind its innovative design. Dorico is the biggest thing to happen to notation software for years.
