Dorico Sketch Template

The 8-stave sketch format has been favored by many composers throughout the years, but especially by the film composer John Williams. This Dorico template package includes two versions of Williams’ preferred format. One version is made to work exclusively in Dorico as you quickly sketch your thematic and orchestration ideas in a completely digital environment. The second version is a blank canvas optimized for those who wish to sketch with pencil and paper.

Portrait and landscape PDFs are included in 8.5x11, 9x12, and A4, in case you just need to run off a few quick copies to carry with you!

We also offer a fully integrated film scoring experience with our Dorico Film Score Template. Move your sketches to a fully orchestrated realization with this template package, optimized for Hollywood and other world-class scoring environments.
