 Sibelius 5
Recently I did a review of the new Sibelius 5
release after having been forcibly converted to Sibelius 3 from Finale
over a year ago. The differences between version 3 and version 5 are
well worth the upgrade. From 4 to 5 still gives you a decent amount of
new stuff, especially the newly upgraded MIDI voices thanks to the
Garritan Personal Orchestra sounds that are now included with the basic
installation. Plug-ins continue to be improved and expanded upon, with
many user created plug-ins available to make common tasks even easier.
Another, more in depth Sibelius 5 review covers these additions and changes in more depth.
One can only wonder what the future will bring for the Sibelius
franchise. They have partnered with InTheChair to produce a SmartMusic
style alternative, and they have been bought out by Avid
, makers of high end video editing software. As their market share in
the United States continues to grow, we can only hope that the
usability and feature set of SIbelius continues on its positive rise.
