House styles—the reusable appearance settings that give scores a consistent look.
The new Scoring Express Lead Sheets suites for Dorico and Sibelius turn one jazz chart into concert, B-flat, E-flat, and bass-clef parts, in four house styles. Also in version 2.0: Dynamics Express, a Scoring Express-exclusive Sibelius plug-in, updates across all five suites, and web documentation.
The Scoring Express Choral & Vocal suites for Dorico and Sibelius make their debut, including hymnal, octavo, and piano-vocal templates with exceptional layout and engraving settings.
In recognition of the coming end of official support for Finale, the price for the Scoring Express templates for Finale — all three versions, plus the bundle — are permanently reduced from their previous prices.
The Scoring Express templates for Dorico are updated for Dorico Pro 6, including improvements to the way Paragraph Styles, chord symbols, and system-attached items are handled.
Dorico 6 is out with engraving leading the way in this update. Cutaway scores and proofreading are two of the headline features, but there are robust advancements in chord symbols, text, playing techniques, user workflows, and much more.
The Scoring Express templates for Dorico and Sibelius now come with more video help tutorials and, in the Theatre & Studio templates, a corresponding annotated example file. Various new features and fixes are also part of this update.
Sibelius 2024.6 introduces native Apple silicon support for the first time. Other improvements in this release include updates to MIDI copy and paste; ManuScript updates; and a number of bug fixes in the areas of clefs, ties, score subsets, and house styles.
Finale's possibilities are truly astronomical, and its settings can seem like a black hole. Jason Loffredo boldly navigates the Finale frontier of space — music space, that is — with a down-to-Earth explanation of its constellation of features to help you reach for the stars.
Dorico 5 is out with the inclusion of more SMuFL music fonts; speedier note input workflows; playback enhancements such as scrubbing, space and stage templates, pitch contour emphasis, MIDI trigger regions, and Groove Agent SE; an instrument editor; and a host of other worthwhile enhancements.
The Scoring Express Jazz package of templates and libraries for Finale is now available, adding to the popular Chamber and Theatre & Studio packages, and bringing it on par with the versions already available for Sibelius and Dorico.
