Scoring Express is a collection of high-quality, professional templates for Dorico Pro — based on the same templates used at NYC Music Services, an industry-leading music preparer.
Each Scoring Express package is much more than just the templates. It contains high-quality music and text fonts, manuscript papers and house styles embedded within the templates that you can also use as separate libraries. Everything is installed in one go, so you can get started right away.
The settings in Scoring Express files are the result of decades of experience preparing music notation at the highest level. Embedded throughout each file are carefully considered parameters that refine positioning, placement, and design. They reflect the expert advice and tips you’ll find on the Scoring Notes blog.
Drawing on our knowledge of the ins and outs of Dorico, we have made use of some of the more obscure features and settings and baked them right into the Scoring Express defaults so that you don’t have to spend time fiddling with them. Each file also includes additional lines, and text styles that extend Dorico’s default capabilities in many ways.
Scoring Express takes full advantage of custom fonts and settings that bring a unique beauty to your music.
All Scoring Express for Dorico installations come with these fonts:
- Archivo & Archivo Narrow
- Arimo
- Bar Numbers Narrow
- Crimson Pro
- Figurato
- Gothic A1
- P052
- Pori Rehearsal
- Tinos
- Special fonts for use with chord symbols
- AcademiChords

Compatibility
Scoring Express is built for the latest versions of Sibelius Ultimate, Dorico Pro, and Finale.
Minimum supported versions:
- Sibelius Ultimate 2023.11 (Scoring Express v. 1.9)
- Dorico Pro 6.0 (Scoring Express v. 1.9)
- Finale 27.3Â (Scoring Express v. 1.6)
Use with earlier versions or, with the mid-tier products like Sibelius Artist or Dorico Elements, is not recommended nor supported.
Version 1.6 for Sibelius is also included for legacy purposes, but will no longer be updated. For best results with Scoring Express version 1.6, use Sibelius Ultimate 2022.5 through 2023.8; however, it should work with all Sibelius Ultimate versions dating back to 2020.3.
Version 1.9 for Dorico will open on earlier versions of Dorico, and is supported on Dorico Pro 5.x, but some features may not work as intended.
Scoring Express templates and manuscript papers are designed for North American page sizes, but they will look just fine switching to the nearest ISO equivalent (i.e., A4) with a quick toggle in:
Sibelius – Layout > Document Setup > Size;
Dorico – Library > Layout Options… > Page Setup
Finale – Document > Page Format > Score… and Document > Page Format > Parts…
In Finale, be sure to go to the Page Layout Tool and Redefine Pages for the score and/or parts you wish to reformat to your new page size.
Depending on your tastes, in certain circumstances you may prefer adjusting the staff size by a fraction of a millimeter or two in either direction as well.

License
Can I use Scoring Express on more than one computer?
Yes! A purchase entitles one person (you) to use it on one computer at a time, on as many computers that you personally use. Unless you have extra limbs, that should suffice nicely.
Can my buddy who shares my computer use Scoring Express?
No! Well, there’s no way to technically prevent it. But please ask your buddy to purchase his own copy.
My buddy wants to use my copy of Scoring Express. Can I send it to him?
No! He should purchase his own copy. Let’s all be buddies!
Can I change the default Scoring Express files — customize, modify styles, add instruments, etc.?
Yes! That’s the beauty of it — it’s totally customizable for your own use. You can change it straight away or keep the original handy and duplicate it for your own use. If you need to, you can always re-install the default Scoring Express files again.
So, once I do that, can I send those files to my buddy?
You can share score files with anyone you like, and these files may inherently contain many settings derived from Scoring Express. But please encourage your buddies to purchase their own copies of Scoring Express so that they get the full benefit of the package and easy compatibility with your files — including all the fonts, house styles, and manuscript papers that come with Scoring Express.
