Dorico - Compose Music

This app is amazing but it does have its ups and downs. One of the only things I wish it had was a way to make a score for a whole school band. Also it’s really glitchy if you try to add a bunch of different instruments. I love this app and will continue to use it in the future even if it’s still glitchy.

It’s great software for writing music. Very simple and efficient. I like to buy the pro version of Dorico. Im waiting for discount ☺️✌️

There is a bug where lower instruments like the bass and contrabass variants of instruments don’t change according to the notation such as they won’t get quieter when there is a piano or a mezzo piano written. I am hoping that this get fixed soon.

I got this app and I have written some piano solos on it, but I’ve been working on a band song and it keeps kicking me out. Then when I get back on the app the music is completely gone.

As I age, my eyes are getting weak. I needed to re-score some music, and pencil on manuscript paper wasn’t cutting it. I went searching, and found this software. I was able to input my score, bass clef and treble, with fingerings and lyrics, everything I needed. I could set playback, to see if I’d entered it correctly. I would need to pay, to add chord letter-markings, but I can input the chords themselves with the free version. (I may upgrade to the paid version at some point, but right now, the free version is powerful enough to meet my needs.)

Dorico is a great app if you want to write down some sheet music or if you want to make a simple tune, but it has glitches where sometimes on the digital keyboard on the bottom one of the key will glitch to where it stays down and you can’t press it again. Also sometimes when you close out one of your pieces it will delete it automatically. I most say though it doesn’t really do that anymore so maybe they fixed it. Overall a really good app except for those two apps.

I use Dorico Pro on both desktop (Mac and PC) and the iPad, and I’ve found that the iPad version has nearly all of the same functionality. I have found it very easy to use touch and pen input, and the subtle interface differences still make sense to me. On top of it all, I discovered that my MIDI keyboard plugs in by USB (via the special Apple adapter that adds a full USB-A port), and works just as well as the desktop version. This allows all my different modes of interaction with the software to be available to me, along with touchscreen input. I think I will still be finishing scores on the version, but the iPad version is no slouch. I could probably complete full projects on here.

I’ve been using Dorico on iPad since right after it was released, and it makes beautiful scores. The interface is customized for iPad and not hard to figure out. However, it crashes (either freezes with the app still open or hard-crashes to the desktop) in about a quarter of the scores I write. Over the years, the rate of crashing has remained the same. When I reopen the app after a crash, the score is completely missing — Dorico never thought to save my work. For years I have just put up with this, losing many hours of work to these crashes. I’ve posted on the forum and tried to attach the apps crash reports to no avail. These crashes have happened when I’m showing the app to my piano students, trying to get them interested in using it. They (rightly) have no patience for this kind of thing. Depending on my mood and tolerance for frustration, I still use it when I’m away from my PC and only have my iPad with me. I thought I should leave this review as a warning for anyone thinking of buying Dorico for iPad. There is a free version, so you might try it out and see if you want to throw your iPad through the window as often as I do when you lose all your work.

Good
