This update is for owners of Dorico Pro 5 and brings them up to Dorico Pro 6. A valid licence of the version named is required.

The complete professional tool with which demanding composers, arrangers, publishers and educators write music for ensembles of any size. Dorico Pro was designed from the ground up for composing: flexible input and editing tools let you change your mind about any decision at any time, and music can be moved between players, exploded or reduced onto more or fewer instruments, or developed into fully voiced parts from chord symbols. For publishers, Dorico Pro offers thousands of customisation options, DTP page layout, one-click condensed conductor’s scores and cutaway scores, while automatic engraving delivers balanced notation by default. Integrated MIDI editors with piano roll, hundreds of sounds, more than 30 effects processors and an audio mixer ensure convincing playback, MIDI and MusicXML can be imported and exported, and projects are fully compatible between desktop and iPad. New features include automatic score checking in the Proofreading panel, Cycle Playback, multiple rows of chord symbols and Fill view.
