Scanning physical sheet music into Dorico can be quick and easy…But only if you have the help of ScanScore! In this post, we will show you all the ins and outs of getting your sheet music digitized and imported into Dorico Software.\u00a0 But first, a little history:<\/span><\/p>\n

How Dorico Came to Be<\/span><\/h2>\n

While there\u2019s by means <\/span>no shortage <\/span><\/i>of music editing software, some musicians feel that there has been a serious lack of imagination in the field as a whole. This is one of the many reasons why the company Steinberg developed its own competitive scoring software. It was finally released in 2016. and thus we have Dorico.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dorico is a score writer for both Windows and Mac. Dorico 3.5 is the most recent iteration of the program. It works really well with ScanScore because ScanScore is also compatible with Windows and Mac. Convenient, huh? Let\u2019s learn just a bit more about Dorico before we get started on the how-to.<\/span><\/p>\n

Named after the Renaissance composer who pioneered the sheet music printing process, Dorico calls itself \u201cThe Future of Scoring.\u201d Dorico aims to provide easy tools, high-quality playback, and excellent customization for today\u2019s modern composers.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s all great! But when it comes to scanning existing sheet music, Dorico could sure use some help. And this is where ScanScore\u2019s easy and accurate scanning tools come into play. Dorico and ScanScore are meant to be together! How cute. So let\u2019s see how it\u2019s done:<\/span><\/p>\n
