The composer can than enter a text instruction such as ‘two flutes, two oboes, three bass trombones, theorbo, bagpipe’ and have the instruments added to the score. In the setup view, pressing Shift+E brings up an instrument dialogue box. Users can now define page size, title and starting musical elements straight from the ‘create new’ dialogue. Speaking of starting a new score, the old setup options remain, though many new streamlined options have been added.

Opening the software, users will notice that the manual link and a large group of tutorials covering everything from standard Dorico basics to new features in version 4 are available in the new score dialogue box. As such, there is no shortage of updates and tweaks which have come as a result of such online interactions. What bears repeating from that review, though, is the willingness of the developers to listen to their user base, often through forums and message boards. The history of Dorico development was covered in detail in my February 2020 SOS review of Dorico 3. The end result is a powerful evolution of the Dorico product: if a piece of software can truly be called ‘beautiful’, Dorico 4 certainly deserves the label.
Daniel Spreadbury and his team have taken a major step forward with this latest release, refining the many new features from version 3 while adding an impressive range of new options in this latest release.
The rapid development of the Dorico notation software series continues with the release of Dorico version 4. Steinberg’s scoring suite just keeps getting better!
