Steinberg DAC Dorico Pro 6 Music Notation Software (Educational License)

Dorico is ideal for use in education. For teachers, Dorico Pro can help produce new transpositions, arrangements, and adaptations for your student ensembles in minutes: simply input the music, and you’re ready to print out the parts. Dorico’s beautiful default output means no tweaking is required.

Dorico Pro can create an intelligently formatted conductor's score with a single click, while still maintaining complete and correct instrumental parts. Profound productivity improvements from music notation software comes along perhaps once every decade—this is one of those achievements.

Cues help the performers keep their place in the music by showing music from another player before important entries or solos. They are crucial—but adding cues to instrumental parts is one of the most time-consuming aspects of preparing performance materials. Dorico Pro links cues dynamically to their source material. So, if you need to revise the work, you don't need to lift a finger to ensure the cues are updated: it's completely automatic.

Dorico Pro offers thousands of ways for you to customize the look and layout of your projects and keeps track of the changes you have made from the factory settings or between different projects. The Library Manager in Dorico Pro provides a way for you to see the differences between the options and styles in two projects at a glance and selectively applies changes from one to the other.

Add or remove staves from any instrument at any point, making laying out even the most complex music for keyboard and mallet percussion simple and fast. Add ossia staves above or below any instrument to show alternatives, ornament realizations, and more. And using Manual Staff Visibility, you can hide and show instruments at any point.

Only Dorico Pro can generate notes from chord symbols, producing well-voiced chords with sensible voice leading, avoiding as far as possible parallel fifths and octaves (unless you want them) and does some remarkably clever things, such as uses a rhythm from one instrument as a pattern for generated notes or takes hints from notes you have added to guide the resulting voicings. This feature can save hours of mechanical work in creating the framework for your arrangement.

Dorico Pro is music notation software with powerful desktop publishing features for music layout. Every page has a template that defines the precise position of every item, so it's easy to determine where page numbers, titles, headers, and footers appear. And you can create your own templates to put your stamp on every project. For complex layouts, you can freely mix music, text, and graphics on any page. Page template sets can be imported and exported, so it's easy to move them between projects.

With thousands of engraving options spread across more than 50 carefully categorized pages, you are in total control of the design and placement of every item on every page. And that is only the start—Dorico Pro provides you with dedicated editors for instruments, noteheads, music symbols, playing techniques, music and text fonts, and more.

On top of the hundreds of production-ready sounds included with HALion Sonic 7, and more than 30 high-quality effect processors, Dorico Pro includes HALion Symphonic Orchestra, a versatile and high-performance orchestral sound library, advanced amp-modeling plug-ins for shaping guitar and bass sounds, and SuperVision, a fully customizable, multimeter audio analyzer plug-in. You can choose from several different modules, for level, spectral, phase, and waveform analysis, creating your own custom layout with up to nine module slots to give you a supremely accurate visual picture of your sound.
