Sibelius Upgrade and Support Plan for 3 Years

Full Description

Efficient & Intuitive Composition

Sibelius is designed to make composing and transcribing faster and more efficient than ever before. Time saving features like magnetic layout, dynamic parts, and the timeline window can be utilised to enhance the user experience of Sibelius. The software is designed with a range of musicians in mind. Flexi-time MIDI input enables players of all levels to input MIDI information into the software, and select quantise as strictly or as loosely as required, allowing you to easily create accurate scores.

Extensive Sound Library & External VST Support

With an extensive sound library included in the software, you have immediate access to a wide range of professional, realistic samples to use within your compositions. Sibelius supports VST and AU plug-ins, giving you access to third-party sample libraries. You can also sync Sibelius with other popular audio software such as Pro Tools via ReWire.

Professional Layout With Printing & Publishing Options

Avid has recognised the varying formats of sheet music required by composers and musicians. Traditionally, printed or handwritten sheet music were the only options for scores. As technology has advanced, PDF format has become increasingly popular due to its compatibility throughout a range of operating systems. Sibelius can export your scores to PDF format at the click of a button, plus individual pages or smaller sections in EPS, PNG, and SVG formats. Professional text and typography tools allow you to annotate your scores with more freedom than ever before. Take advantage of the latest OpenType fonts, including advanced features like ligatures, and employ them in text frames with full DTP-level capabilities.

Scorch App Integration for Scores On-The-Go

Export Sibelius scores directly to Avid Scorch on your iPad (available on iTunes) for fully interactive playback, performance, and publishing. Sibelius automatically optimises your score for iPad display, paying special consideration to page orientation, number of staves, margin sizes, and more.
