Sibelius 6 Scorewriting and Arranging Software

6 Scorewriting and Arranging Software description:

Sibelius 6 is the latest incarnation of the popular scorewriting and arranging software.

With many new features included, Sibelius 6 sets the mark in the world of music notation software.

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.

Sibelius 6 keeps track of revisions to your score, lets you look back at earlier versions of it, and see what changes were made since.

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.

Sibelius 6 lets you produce scores so stunning, they’re virtually works of art. Slurs are now the most beautiful and controllable of any program. Stemlets and beamed rests can be added and positioned instantly, as can arpeggio lines.

AudioScore lets you input music into Sibelius simply by singing or playing an instrument, then hit a button to put the results into Sibelius.

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

Sibelius's network licenses operate on a client-server model. The Sibelius program itself is installed on the local hard drive of each of the client workstations, and a separate Licence Server program is installed on a single designated server or workstation.

The Licence Server program is supplied on a separate CD-ROM from the Sibelius program itself and enables the designated number of licensed client copies to run on the network simultaneously. In conjunction with Sibelius 6's Classroom Control feature, the Licence Server also lets you send messages to users of the client copies, send and receive Sibelius files between client machines, and close copies down from the server machine.
