Sibelius Product Review Whats others have to say about SibeliusSibelius in the press, product reviews: "Rarely does notation software provide the depth and breadth of Sibelius... I actually had fun composing with this program, and I can't remember the last time I enjoyed myself while learning to use a notation product" "As far as ease of use is concerned, it's almost in a class by itself" Keyboard has also awarded Sibelius the prestigious Key Buy award. "How does a program come to have such a mature interface and feature set in its first incarnation?" Electronic Musician gave Sibelius 4.5/5 for Features and Ease of use and has now made it the 2000 Editors' Choice. From a profile of conductor/composer Michael Tilson Thomas Article on Paul McCartney's orchestral work Standing Stone "It simply doesn't get any better than this. Sibelius is everything you need" "Undoubtedly the finest scoring software money can buy... you'd be mad to buy anything else" "If you have the cash, it seems hard to recommend spending it on anything other than the magnificent Sibelius... We really have little hesitation in giving Sibelius our highest possible recommendation" Computer Music also awarded Sibelius the Ultimate Buy award (March 2000 issue). "For the past few years, music-notation software has been judged by the Sibelius standard, accepted as the most advanced and comprehensive system available. Glowing reviews from composers, claims that it “may soon transform the very nature of composition” had Macintosh users shrugging their shoulders and changing the subject, as it was originally only available only on the Acorn platform. A Windows version followed and now it has finally arrived for the Mac, updated from scratch, and not a moment too soon." Read the full review at MacWorld "If Quark XPress had a musical cousin who took a lot of steroids, the result might be something like Sibelius". Jazzwise magazine compared Sibelius and Finale in transcribing a solo jazz guitar arrangement. The aim: to find the best jazz scoring software available. "Finale proved to be much slower than Sibelius, especially when it came to producing the guitar tab... Also, I could not find any quick way to create the correct guitar fretboard diagrams in Finale" "The final 'proof of the pudding' came when I printed out what I had managed to achieve in my three evenings spent with each scorewriter. The score prepared with Sibelius won 'hands-down' ... Say no more!" "A real musician's power tool... amazingly easy to use" PC HOME "The trouble with most scorewriters is that they have a reputation for being complicated. Personally, I found Finale... difficult to get to grips with, albeit ultimately very powerful. On the other hand Sibelius is something else altogether. It has been designed with elegance, simplicity and ease of use very much in mind" "Almost transparent in use... my students and I will be able to concentrate, not on button-pushing, mouse-clicking and all that other tedious rubbish that too often tends to surround computer music-making, but rather on writing some damn good music" "The world's most sophisticated music notation software" "Provides the fastest note entry I have experienced from any program... the music looked like a finished score almost as soon as it was entered"
