Steinberg has updated its music notation software Dorico to v1.1. This release introduces sophisticated support for chord symbols.

Piano pedaling with comprehensive support for advanced techniques — including partial pedaling, changing the pedal level over time and more;
New repeat ending lines for 1st and 2nd time bars, perfectly positioned;
Unique intelligent note spelling for MIDI step input, which automatically avoids common enharmonic errors during input;
Expanded editing operations, allowing users to move dynamics, slurs, hairpins, octave lines and other notations easily with the mouse, intelligently snapping them to ideal positions;
New selection features, allowing users to quickly select items of a certain kind for further editing;
Comprehensive features for precise editing of rhythmic spacing, designed in consultation with experienced professional engravers;
Expanded import and export features, allowing users to import music from other projects and MusicXML files into a current project, and export sections of a project in Dorico, MIDI, MusicXML and audio formats.
