Avid offers with Sibelius Ultimate a professional tool for creating complex scores, which is characterized by time-saving multi-editing functions up to an intelligent interaction with the user interface. In addition to the free Sibelius First version, the program is available in 2 other versions that differ in scope. But what do the current Ultimate versions offer?
Making multiple text changes simultaneously
If you want to change the dynamic expression in several parts of a score, you can now do so easily by editing the staves or notes simultaneously. Simply select and apply or add to all instruments simultaneously. Adding notes to the technique or adding/editing other types of text can also be done in this way.
Adding annotations directly in a score
To facilitate collaboration and review, the annotation feature lets you draw notes directly in a score and share edits, instructions and feedback with others. Annotations are intelligently grouped and always remain associated with the measure in which they were added.
Bringing the workflow up to speed
To help you work efficiently, Sibelius offers many new feature enhancements to simplify composing, arranging and preparing music. With the optimized options, copyists can quickly mark partitions and score artists can achieve exactly the layout they want.
Sharing and Cloud Storage
Share your work, get help from fellow artists, and showcase your skills to a large network of artists in the Avid Artist Community. Synchronizing Sibelius Cloud Sharing scores with the Community Portfolio is also possible.
In addition, Sibelius users are offered a premium cloud storage subscription to get additional storage - beyond the limit of 20 scores. And as an Avid Pro Tools user, you can set up projects in this cloud storage space that multiple people can collaborate on.
