Sure, it wasn’t complete with every feature yet, but it’s very rare to see that kind of work done. The Dorico team was given the time they needed to cook the best 1.0 possible.
One amazing part of that story is the stewardship of Steinberg. Not to get too mythical about it, but the Dorico team was able to ask themselves ‘what do we wish the 19 year-old program we were working on could do that was hard because of the fundamental assumptions that were baked into it from its birth?’ Or simply, ‘since we’re starting from scratch, how do we make the best thing possible?’ That team got scooped up by Steinberg, a division of Yamaha and makers of popular DAW Cubase, who hired them to make a new big dog program in that space. In 2006, Avid bought Sibelius, but kept most of the team it had at the time intact 2 before canning them all in 2012. Finale was released in 1988, and Sibelius was released in 1993. If you’re not familiar with Dorico’s story, it’s somewhat interesting, and provides good context. First, I want to talk about my use of it - not to lend me any bona fides or credibilities (if you want to scrutinize what mine are, then just assume I have none) - but so that you, as a reader, can compare my use to your own needs. I want to discuss why I hold that opinion, what I feel Dorico does exceptionally well, and what my complaints are about it as of version 3.5.
#SIBELIUS VS DORICO SOFTWARE#
Instead, this is my attempt to talk about my use of it, and why I think it’s the notation software to be using in 2021. They also have reviews of every version of Dorico (v3.0 doesn’t show up on that page for some reason, but they reviewed it too). 1 If you haven’t read it before, I highly recommend their review of the first version of Dorico, as it explains what makes it so unique. I’d be wasting my time, because Scoring Notes has created an unsurpassable work doing just that. This isn’t my attempt to do a comprehensive review of Dorico.
#SIBELIUS VS DORICO DRIVER#
I’m going to make the case for Dorico being the daily driver for my fellow band directors. Last week I tied up talking about subscriptions with why Sibelius is dead to me.
