In their own words

Dorico

Dorico is music notation software for creating, editing, arranging and publishing scores. It supports MIDI and MusicXML import and export, as well as audio and graphics export. Composers can move music between players, expand or reduce it across instruments, and create fully voiced parts from chord symbols. Scores are formatted automatically, while Dorico Pro adds thousands of customization options. The software includes hundreds of sounds, more than 30 effects processors and an audio Mixer. Music can be shared with performers or collaborators, and team workflows are supported. Dorico runs on desktop and iPad; the iPad version can produce sheet music for playing, sharing or printing. Dorico SE 6 is free forever for works of up to eight players, and Dorico for iPad is offered as a free full version with optional paid functionality. A 60-day trial is available. Paid versions start at ₹10,913.00, including 15% VAT; Dorico Pro 6 costs ₹63,194.00, including 15% VAT.
