With Sibelius, Avid offers a professional tool for creating complex scores, which is characterized by time-saving multi-editing functions up to intelligent interaction with the user interface. This version is a license code that activates the extension for 1 year. Sibelius generally offers the following new features compared to the previous versions;
Make multiple text changes simultaneously
If you want to change the dynamic printout in several parts of a score, you can now easily do this by editing the note lines or notes at the same time. Simply select and apply or add to all instruments simultaneously. Adding comments to the technique or adding/editing other text types can also be done in this way.
Add comments directly to a score
To simplify collaboration and review, the annotation function allows you to draw notes directly on a score and share edits, instructions and feedback with others. Notes are intelligently grouped and always remain assigned to the bar in which they were added.
Bringing the workflow up to speed
To work efficiently, Sibelius offers many new features to make composing, arranging and preparing music easier. With the optimized options, copyists can quickly select partitions and note designers can achieve exactly the desired layout.
Sharing and Cloud Storage
Share your work, exchange ideas, get help from fellow artists, and share your skills with a large network of artists in the Avid Artist community. It is also possible to synchronize Sibelius Cloud Sharing scores with the Community Portfolio.
In addition, Sibelius users are offered a premium cloud storage subscription to get additional storage space - beyond the limit of 20 scores. And as an Avid Pro Tools user, you can set up collaborative projects in this cloud storage space.
