Version for pupils, students & teachers (boxed version)
Avid offers EDU versions of Sibelius at discounted prices for students and teachers. Sibelius Ultimate is a professional tool for creating complex scores, characterized by time-saving multi-editing functions and intelligent interaction with the user interface. Besides the free Sibelius First version, the program is available in 2 further versions (partly also as EDU version), which differ in scope. But what do the current Ultimate versions offer?
Make multiple text changes simultaneously
If you want to change the dynamic printout in several parts of a score, you can now easily do this by editing the note lines or notes at the same time. Simply select and apply or add to all instruments simultaneously. Adding comments to the technique or adding/editing other text types can also be done in this way.
Add comments directly to a score
To simplify collaboration and review, the annotation function allows you to draw notes directly on a score and share edits, instructions and feedback with others. Notes are intelligently grouped and always remain assigned to the bar in which they were added.
Bringing the workflow up to speed
To work efficiently, Sibelius offers many new features to make composing, arranging and preparing music easier. With the optimized options, copyists can quickly select partitions and note designers can achieve exactly the desired layout.
Sharing and Cloud Storage
Share your work, exchange ideas, get help from fellow artists, and share your skills with a large network of artists in the Avid Artist community. It is also possible to synchronize Sibelius Cloud Sharing scores with the Community Portfolio.
In addition, Sibelius users are offered a premium cloud storage subscription to get additional storage space - beyond the limit of 20 scores. And as an Avid Pro Tools user, you can set up collaborative projects in this cloud storage space.
