Sibelius Music Notation Software (Macintosh and Windows CDROM)
Sibelius 3 is the complete software for writing, playing, printing and publishing music notation. It's designed to make your life easier, save you time, produce beautiful results and enable you to do things you might never have dreamed of, like publish your music world-wide, or create your own CDs. And it's designed for every kind of musician, from students and teachers to professional composers. When you first use Sibelius 3, you may find yourself thinking, "wouldn't it be great if it could do this..." -- only to discover that it already can. That's because we understand what you need, and the annoying pointless things that you don't. So whatever you write music for, you'll find Sibelius 3 as intuitive to use as a pen yet so powerful that it does most things in the blink of an eye. New Music Notation Software (Macintosh and Windows CDR Features Include: Create CDs & MP3s of your music High-quality sounds built-in Auto page breaks Focus on staves Live Flexi-time, editing and playback School feature set Optical note spacing 30 new plug-ins ...and much more The World's Most Intuitive Music Software Sibelius believes that if you find a program hard to use, its not your fault -- its because its badly designed. That's why they made Sibelius 3 as natural as possible to use -- the result of years of careful thought and refinement. Clear, Elegant Design The Sibelius screen is simple and intuitive, so you can concentrate on writing music without the constant distraction of menus and dialog boxes. To look around the music, just click and drag the page it really feels like youre moving manuscript paper in front of you. Alternatively, drag the Navigator to move smoothly through many pages at once. You can even choose different colors and textures for the paper and desk on the screen. Starting Off Start a score from scratch specify instruments, page size, title, tempo etc. with a few clicks. Your score is set up instantly, all of the instruments with the correct names, clefs, transpositions and layout. MIDI Input Flexi-time is Sibeliuss unique system for notating music as you play it on a MIDI keyboard in real time. Theres no need to tap a pedal or play mechanically just play naturally with both hands, and Sibelius will actually follow you as you speed up or slow down. You can even listen to the music youve already written as you play in more music on top. Step-time lets you play pitches from your MIDI keyboard with one hand, and choose rhythms and articulations with the other from the keypad. Mouse & Keystrokes To input without a MIDI keyboard, pick note-values and accidentals from the keypad with the mouse, and click to place them in the score. For extra speed, use the computer keyboard instead specify pitch using the letters A to G, and rhythms from the keypad using the numeric keys. There are many other useful keyboard shortcuts for "power users." You can get other markings such as clefs, slurs and time signatures from menus; Sibelius even positions them in the right place for you. Scanning Sibelius includes PhotoScore Lite the state-of-the-art program for scanning printed music. It takes just seconds to read a page, and you can then edit or transpose the music in Sibelius, play it back, extract parts and print -- just as if youd inputted it yourself. The advanced version PhotoScore Professional (which you can buy with Sibelius) has many extra features, such as reading slurs, articulations, hairpins and text. File Conversion Sibelius seamlessly opens Finale, SCORE, Allegro, PrintMusic, MIDI and NIFF files in seconds -- the ideal way to transfer your existing music to Sibelius. Sketch & Refine Sibelius 3 lets you change music whenever you like. Sketch a solo flute piece, then add a whole orchestra to create a concerto. Write in sounding pitch, then make a transposing score with one click. Add extra bars at the start of a score, and Sibelius instantly reformats every page -- far more flexible than pen and paper. If you completely change your mind, Sibelius lets you undo up to 10,000 operations, and keeps backups of 40 previous versions of your music. Text & Lyrics Sibelius puts different types of text, such as dynamics, titles and lyrics, in the appropriate font, size and position. You can edit these text styles to change text consistently throughout the score. To input lyrics, just type -- Sibelius positions the words under the notes, puts in hyphens and lyric lines, and allows extra room for long syllables. You can also copy lyrics from a word processor. Arrange Arrange is a unique feature to help with arranging and orchestration. Its ideal for students learning instrumental writing, and saves hours of time for experienced professionals. Just select some music, and specify how you want it to be arranged or orchestrated -- Sibelius does the rest in an instant, using appropriate instruments, doublings, etc. It handles anything from keyboard reductions and exploding chords onto separate staves, to sophisticated arrangement and orchestration styles, such as: Band, using high brass and pitched percussion Choir, tenor doubling soprano down an octave Jazz, in the style of famous band leaders including Sammy Nestico, Billy Strayhorn and Thad Jones Impressionist orchestration with harp and strings. Over 150 of these styles are provided, and you can even create your own. Focus on Staves Sibelius makes it easy to write large scores, by allowing you to view just the staves you're working on. Copying & Transposing Copying music is far faster than re-writing it, so Sibelius copies anything with one click of the mouse -- especially useful for doubled instruments and repeating figures. You can make multiple copies at once, e.g. to put the same dynamics onto every instrument. Sibelius transposes music instantly into any key, and handles everything about transposing instruments for you. Write music in sounding or written pitch, and switch between the two whenever you like. Checking for Mistakes Sibelius saves you time by spotting all kinds of mistakes such as rhythms that dont add up, or notes that are too high/low to play. Sibelius knows every instruments range, which you can adjust for players of different abilities. Sibelius comes with various proof-reading plug-ins (read more), including ones which add cautionary accidentals and even mark parallel fifths and octaves! Playing Back Your Score Just click the play button to hear your music performed with surprising realism. Sibelius reads, understands and plays back all standard markings including trills, repeats, cresc./dim. hairpins, 8vas, glissandos, percussion and drum sets, guitar tab, and even quarter-tones. Sibelius understands musical words and phrases such as: rit., pizz., Allegro, mute, swing, and change to Piccolo. Musical terms in various languages are already defined in a built-in dictionary and you can add new words to it, too. Sibelius lets you select specific instruments and sections of music to listen to, automatically playing the correct instrumental sounds through your soundcard or MIDI equipment. Kontakt Player and Creating CDs Sibelius includes Kontakt Player Silver from Native Instruments, which provides high-quality playback of 19 pitched sounds and 100 unpitched percussion sounds. You can also buy Kontakt Player Gold, which has 64 pitched sounds & 110 unpitched percussion sounds, covering orchestral, band, jazz etc. -- even Bass Clarinet, Flugelhorn, string techniques (e.g. sul ponticello tremolo), male/female voices and choirs, and so on. Extra sound libraries are coming soon. Sibelius 3 also makes it easy to create CDs and MP3 files for performers and friends, using the high-quality Kontakt Player sounds. Sample library by Sonic Implants with instruments from Peter Seidlaczek (Best Service), Northstar, Zero-G, Tap Space and Dan Dean Productions. Live Playback & Mixer More advanced users can fine-tune playback in real time with the Mixer (see above), and use Sibelius's unique Live Playback feature to tweak the nuances of your original performance. You can adjust the dynamics using these colored bars (see right). Espressivo & Rubato Espressivo and Rubato are unique features which add elegant expression as Sibelius plays. Espressivo makes subtle adjustments to the dynamics to produce musical phrasing, and Rubato varies the tempo, just like a human performer. Rhythmic Feel, SoundStage & Reverb Sibelius lets you choose from numerous "rhythmic feel" styles which make subtle enhancements to the rhythm -- anything from jazz swing to Viennese waltz! When playing back scores for ensembles such as orchestra or band, Sibeliuss unique SoundStage feature positions the sounds correctly in 3-D space, as if the instruments were on a concert stage. You can also choose the reverb characteristics of different natural acoustics. Because Sibelius has such sophisticated playback features, you can use it for far more than just listening to music. Sibelius makes it easy to check the notes youve written, accompanies while you practice, and helps you make rehearsal tapes and CD recordings of your music. Repeats Sibelius 3 supports every kind of repeat you can imagine -- not just D.S., D.C., Coda, Segno and Fine, but complex repeat structures with up to 8 repetitions. You can even make Sibelius jump between arbitrary points in the score during playback, e.g. to skip guitar fill boxes or simulate aleatory performances. You can make individual notes, dynamics etc. apply only to certain verses or repeats, so you could have the brass play only the second time round, or make verse 3 p and verse 4 f. What's more, timecode now shows separate timings for each repeat. ...and much, much moreTechnical Description System Requirements Windows Windows 98/Me/NT4/2000/XP, Intel or AMD Pentium-class processor or faster, 64Mb+ RAM (128Mb+ for Windows 2000/XP), 70Mb hard disk space.
