Steinberg Updates Dorico With Publication Quality Fingering & More

Steinberg has released Dorico v1.2, a free update for users of the notation system for Mac & Windows.

The update offers new features for smart score preparation, with cues in instrumental parts that are dynamically linked to their source material, flexible unpitched percussion, publication-quality fingering for piano and other instruments and much more.

Here are the highlights of Dorico 1.2:

  • A new approach to cues that radically cuts the required time investment;
  • Unpitched percussion notation and extensive support for drum set notation, with fast and flexible input both from a MIDI keyboard or using the mouse or computer keyboard;
  • Comprehensive support for fingering. Fingering is quick to input, automatically positioned and includes sophisticated support for fingering substitutions, cautionary fingerings for held notes and more;
  • Changing the graphical size of practically any item in the music with new custom scaling properties;
  • New time-saving tools for building chords via a dedicated popover, allowing you to add octaves, thirds or sixths — or even to produce block voicings — above and below in just a couple of key strokes.
  • Support for shape note or Sacred Harp notation, and much more.

Pricing and Availability

Dorico is available now for $559.99. A demo version is also available.
