Write and refine music easily
Sibelius 5 software is so easy to learn and use that you can start writing your
first piece within minutes- not days! Discover the joys of writing music with a
program that's simple and intuitive. And, of course, being able to change your
music in the blink of an eye-no more rubbing out.
Hear your music
The easiest way to perfect your music is by hearing it. Just click the play
button in Sibelius to hear your music performed with surprising realism, thanks
to the built-in Sibelius Sounds Essentials library. Sibelius reads, understands,
and plays back all standard markings, and you can buy extra sound libraries for
choral music, world music, and more.
See your music, panoramically Panorama offers a clear, wide
view of music that enables faster composition, easier revisions and, in
education, clearer analysis of entire pieces. Instead of being chopped up into
systems and pages, the music is shown in a single, infinitely-wide strip-far
easier to read and navigate around. Users can now just think about the notes,
and forget about page layout until ready to print.
Elegant layout Sibelius's unique page layout means that you won't have to worry about
spacing, formatting, or how your score will look when it's printed. The
music is beautifully laid out onto pages for you as you work – you don't
need to think about it. If bars get too cramped, Sibelius pushes them onto
the next page for you, and instantly adjusts slurs, hairpins etc. to suit.
Even if you delete large sections, or change the shape of the paper,
Sibelius will reformat the whole score in an instant.
But if you prefer, you can change the layout yourself: you can move
staves around, specify where systems and pages end, alter note spacings, and
squash up or spread out whole passages of music. You're in complete control.
Ideas Hub is a unique new feature that lets you capture, use and re-use snippets of music. As well as using your own ideas, over 2000 ready-made ones are included – ideal for teaching.
Never lose another idea When writing music you often come up with a bit of melody, rhythm,
accompaniment or chord progression with some potential. Now, instead of
wondering what to do with it, just tap a key to store it in the ideas Hub. Then
you can re-use these ideas later in any score, just like pasting from the
clipboard; Sibelius even transposes ideas into the right key and range.
Publish, or sell, your music online Sibelius not only prints your music conventionally, but also
lets you put it straight onto your own web site, or onto SibeliusMusic.com,
the world’s largest site for self-publishing scores.
Additionally, teachers and educators can publish teaching materials onto
SibeliusEducation.com for their students to view, play and print at school
or home.
