"Dorico for iPad has completely changed my workflow. Being able to sketch out orchestral scores in the practice room using my Apple Pencil and then finish the engraving on my laptop is a total game-changer. It makes my assignments look professional enough for publication with zero effort."

"The automatic layout features are a lifesaver for busy teachers. I can arrange a quick piece for my students on the go and have beautiful, readable parts printed via AirPrint before the rehearsal even starts. It’s the most intuitive notation software I've used in 15 years."
