- Hub
  The Hub allows you to access recent projects, start new projects, and keep up-to-date with learning materials including tutorials, videos, and blog updates. The Hub opens automatically when you start Dorico for iPad.
- Starting new projects
  Dorico for iPad provides multiple project templates that you can use to start new projects, including multiple types of orchestras and vocal ensembles. You can also start empty projects.
- Opening projects/files
  You can open existing Dorico projects as well as MusicXML and MIDI files.
- Printing layouts
  You can print individual layouts in your project to any AirPrint enabled printers to which your iPad is connected.
- File export
  External files are files in different formats than Dorico projects, such as MIDI, MusicXML, or PDF. In Dorico for iPad, you can export layouts and projects as different types of files.
- Read-only mode
  Projects that contain more than your maximum number of players open in read-only mode. In read-only mode, you can view, play back, and print projects, but you cannot edit or save them.
Setup mode
Setup mode allows you to set up the fundamental elements of the project: instruments and the players that hold them, flows, and layouts. You can also determine how they interact with each other, for example, by changing the players assigned to layouts.
Write mode
Write mode allows you to input and edit your music, including changing the rhythmic positions of items, changing the pitch of notes, and deleting notes and items. The available toolboxes and panels allow you to input all the notes and notation items that are most commonly used.
Layout and formatting
There are various ways you can control the layout and formatting of pages in your project, including changing the size of pages and adjusting note spacing.
Read view
Read view displays the current layout in a full page view with view options hidden, allowing you to play along with it, for example, on a piano. It supports turning pages in multiple ways.
