New in Sibelius 7
Task-oriented user interface
The
brand-new Sibelius 7 user interface provides task-focused tabs that
lead you through the process of creating a score from start to finish.
Every feature has both an icon and a text description—with full
contextual help available when you need it.
Professional sound library—only in Sibelius
You
finesse every detail of your score—you want to hear every nuance during
playback. Sibelius 7 includes more than 38 GB of professional content,
including a specially recorded symphony orchestra, rock and pop
instruments, and much more.
Native 64-bit support—only in Sibelius
Sibelius
7 is the world’s first 64-bit notation software, enabling you to unlock
the full power of your 64-bit system—and work more quickly, with more
virtual instruments and effects, than ever before.
Optimized for single monitor use—only in Sibelius
We
understand that many of our customers favor laptops or other
single-display systems. That’s why we designed the Sibelius 7 interface
to allow you to focus on the music at all times—and easily hide
information that you only need to see occasionally.
Switch to Sibelius from Finale
There’s
never been a better time to switch from Finale® to Sibelius. Sibelius
now features a step-time note input method that is very similar to
Finale software’s Speedy Entry method—right down to using many of the
same keystrokes. So if you know how to input notes in Finale, you know
Sibelius too. And because today’s workflows include a wide variety of
software applications, Sibelius 7 now includes full MusicXML export
capability, so you can exchange files with hundreds of other
applications, including Finale.
Text and typography enhancements
Take
advantage of the latest OpenType fonts, including advanced features
like ligatures, and employ them in text frames with full Desktop
Publishing (DTP) level capabilities. There’s no need to export projects
to a separate DTP application—now you can complete many of them within
Sibelius 7.
Graphics import and export
Sibelius
7 makes it easy to import graphics in all major formats, then
manipulate them to build complex layouts for publishing, creating
teaching materials, instructional books, and more. You can export the
full score as publication-quality graphics in PDF format, plus
individual pages or smaller sections in EPS, PNG, and SVG formats.
Included support and special pricing
Your
Sibelius 7 purchase includes peace of mind—you get 90 days of
complimentary assisted support, plus a variety of affordable annual
support options. There’s also special academic and student pricing—and
the latter includes four years of free upgrades, so students can stay up
to date throughout their studies.
