Avid Sibelius (Annual, ESD)

Make multiple text changes simultaneously

If you want to change the dynamic expression in several parts of a score, you can now easily do this by editing the lines or notes at the same time. Simply select and apply or add to all instruments simultaneously. The addition of annotations to the technique or the addition/editing of other text types can also be done in this way.

Adding comments directly to a score

To simplify collaboration and review, you can use the Annotate feature to draw notes directly on a score and share edits, instructions, and feedback with others. Annotations are intelligently grouped and always remain assigned to the beat in which they were added.

Getting the workflow up to speed

To be able to work efficiently offers Sibelius many new features improvement to simplify composing, arranging and preparing the music. With the optimized options, copyists can quickly mark partitions and note artists can achieve exactly the desired layout.

Sharing and Cloud Storage

Share your work, exchange ideas, get help from fellow artists and present your skills to a large network of artists in the Avid artist Community . It is also possible to synchronize the Sibelius cloud sharing scores with the Community portfolio.

In addition, Sibelius users are offered a premium cloud storage subscription to receive additional storage space beyond the limit of 20 scores. And as an Avids Pro Tools user, you can set up projects in this cloud space where multiple people can collaborate.
