Using Dorico for iPad in education
Since the release of Dorico for iPad three years ago, we have been delighted to welcome tens of thousands of new Dorico users, downloading the app for free from the App Store. The app is consistently the top-rated music notation and composition app in the App Store, and it is a vital member of the Dorico product family. However, the fact that the app is free and offers access to premium features through optional subscriptions or the Lifetime Unlock in-app purchase causes problems for our educational customers, and we are pleased to share some news on this front today.
Learn Note Input in Dorico: New series of tutorial videos released
I love Dorico, but then I have a rather special relationship with it. Not only am I in the extremely fortunate position to help present it to the world—by helping to shape the features and designing the user interface—I also have the great honour of showing it off to you all, guiding our users through all the incredible features by way of our tutorial videos. I challenge you to show me a better job.

Tip: Fix page layout and edit Flow Headings in Dorico Elements 4
-
- Overwriting text tokens to add titles and other information can lead to layout issues.
- In Dorico Elements you can now remove page overrides in Engrave mode.
- Instead, add titles and other information to Project Info.
- You can edit the format of Flow Headings in Dorico Elements using a new dialog.
Tip: Add notations during note input
- You don’t need to exit note input to create other notations.
- For example, type Shift+D to open the dynamics popover while the caret is visible.
- Enter your required dynamics, even starting a hairpin – the hairpin will extend as you add more notes. End a hairpin by typing ? in the dynamics popover.
- Use other popovers to add further notations, for example trills and tremolos.
- Almost every type of notation can be created in this way, including playing techniques, tempo changes and clefs.
Tip: Set page and background colors for late-night work
- If you are working late at night you may prefer the interface a little less bright.
- In Preferences, choose the Colors category.
- Set the background color to a single, darker color.
- Invert the colors for the music, choosing your own page color.
Tip: Set a player as tacet for a movement
- In Setup mode, select the player who should be tacet.
- Uncheck the flow the player is not present in.
- The tacet is created automatically.
- The player is also removed from the flow in the full score.
