Compose
Write music with ease
List:
Sibelius makes music composition easy
giving you the flexibility to work anywhere using your computer
iPad
or iPhone. Whether you prefer to enter notes from the onscreen notation Keypad
a MIDI keyboard
your computer keyboard
or using an Apple Pencil
Sibelius takes care of all note layout
orientation
and rest details for you.
Build up compositions
Create music for everything from piano to orchestra
with multiple instrument parts. And not just with notes and rests—you can add chord symbols
guitar tab
guitar chord diagrams
expression text
articulations
lyrics
titles
graphics
and more to give your music the detail
depth
and dynamism it deserves. You can even loop playback to improvise ideas.
Hear your music in stunning detail
Sibelius includes a high-quality sample library filled with a variety of musical instrumentation
so you can hear what your music will sound like when performed by real musicians. You can also plug in third-party sound libraries
such as NotePerformer
giving you more flexibility with the instrumentation you hear.
Orchestrate
Arrange parts fast
The Arrange feature makes it easy to orchestrate additional instrument parts from existing ones. Simply select an orchestration style and Sibelius automatically creates new parts based on your sources. You can also “explode” chords across different parts
speeding up multipart instrumentation. Or consolidate multiple parts into one with a click.
Get Intelligent Import
With a single click
you can import a MIDI
MusicXML
or Sibelius file into a new or existing score. All notation
instrumentation
techniques
and articulations are automatically assigned
preserving the composer’s intent and saving you hours—if not days—of clean-up time. You can even combine several scores together
with control over what’s imported.
Perfect and review scores
Sibelius takes the manual effort out of adapting instrumentation
transposing parts
and adding slurs
so you can work faster. And when your score is ready
Review mode lets you lock things down
enabling collaborators to freely view your score and add comments and annotations without fear of accidentally changing anything.
Engrave + Copy
Create parts dynamically
Sibelius can create individual instrument parts when you create your score and will automatically update them accordingly whenever you make changes to the score. For copyists
this eliminates the need to extract parts or make destructive changes when prepping sheet music for different parts. Plus
parts can be changed without affecting the full score.
Engrave intelligently
Create beautiful professional scores quickly with advanced notation tools and multi-edit capabilities. Add slurs
hairpins
ties
or other staff lines across multiple instruments
and make edits to barlines
expression and technique text
and lyrics all in one action. Sibelius intelligently spaces notes and elements
keeping everything in perfect alignment.

these plugins can help you with complex engraving
