Write perfect scores up to twice as fast. And much more…

Sibelius 6 is a giant leap forward in music notation software – with amazing new features and improvements for educators, students, composers, arrangers, copyists and musicians of all kinds.

No more tidying up scoresOnly in Sibelius: Magnetic Layout takes care of almost every detail of score layout for you - so effortlessly, you’ll hardly notice. As you write, it gives everything just the right amount of space and avoids collisions – producing beautiful results. This one feature saves you up to half your writing time, and could be the greatest advance in music notation software in 20 years.

Track changes & compare versions.Only In Sibelius: Have you ever written something better the first time around? Versions keeps track of revisions to your score, lets you look back at earlier versions of it, and see what changes were made since. Collaboration becomes a joy, and you can even add sticky Comments to leave notes for yourself, or others.

Conduct your scores It’s time to take to the podium! Live Tempo lets you conduct the playback of your score to produce a nuanced, musical performance. Simply tap a key on your computer keyboard, MIDI keyboard or foot pedal, and Sibelius follows your beat.

Great new sounds – in no time.High-quality playback now needs no set-up at all – just hit the space bar, and Sibelius® plays back using amazing sampled sounds. High-quality sounds, including a stunning new piano, are more seamlessly integrated than ever, thanks to the latest technology from the Digidesign® AIR team.

Sync with sequencers / DAWs ReWire is a standard that lets you bring together Sibelius 6 and audio recording and production using Pro Tools® software or other other DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations). This opens up a world for possibilities, from adding an acoustic solo instrument line to your Sibelius playback through to professional multi-track recording of your scores. Because ReWire is so widely supported, you can sync Sibelius 6 with not just Pro Tools software, but also Cubase, Logic, GarageBand and more.

Beautiful Keyboard & Fretboard windowsOnly In Sibelius: If you prefer using a keyboard or guitar to notation, these beautiful new windows are ideal. Simply click on the keys or frets to input notes and chords – or ‘play’ your computer’s QWERTY keys just like a piano! They’re great for teaching, too.

Easy chord symbols & guitar diagramsChord symbols and guitar chord diagrams can now be created quicker than ever from your computer keyboard, MIDI keyboard or MIDI guitar. They also feature many enhancements and extra notations, including guitar scale diagrams.

“With Sibelius 6 come features only dreamed of in the not so distant past. Magnetic Layout alone will save hours. We’ve used Sibelius exclusively for years and have never looked back.”

Ron Vermillion, Universal Studios Music Library.

Sell your scores around the worldOnly with Sibelius: The brand new SibeliusMusic.com makes it even easier for you to earn an income from electronic sales of your scores around the world. You can also use the website to just share and exchange scores with fellow musicians and Sibelius users.

Easy classroom conrolOnly in Sibelius: A new classroom control panel enables teachers to instantly send scores to every classroom computer, freeze computers, and gather in all student’s files at the end of a class.

Give students a Sibelius “check out” licenseOnly in Sibelius: SIbelius now offers “check out” licenses. If students at your institution have their own laptop computers that they bring to school, you can now let them take copies of Sibelius (or Sibelius Student) home with them for a limited period of time. This way, students can enjoy all the benefits of Sibelius for the duration of a semester, or over a weekend or the summer vacation – for up to a year.

“No matter who you are, Magnetic Layout will make your music look beautiful without any fuss. It just does it.”

Marc Schonbrun, composer & educator
