Steinberg Dorico Elements 3.5 is a music notation software designed to deliver essential scoring functions for students, songwriters, and arrangers in schools, home studios, and houses of worship. Write, print, and play music notation for up to 12 instruments, which can be sourced from the supplied 1500-sound 2.5GB library or your own VST3 plug-ins. The 30 included effects processors enable versatile tonal modification of instrument sounds. 

Input data via mouse, keyboard, or MIDI keyboard, and refine your arrangement in the sequencer-style piano MIDI editor, where the notation is adjusted as you compose and arrange. Enjoy unlimited movements in a single project and the playback of dynamics, repeats, and tempo changes. Collaboration is simplified via importing and exporting MIDI and MusicXML files, and you are provided with audio and graphics export capabilities to boot. Dorico Elements 3.5 is compatible with macOS and Windows systems and creates projects that can be loaded into Dorico Pro.
