it can do pretty much everything you could ever want a program of this type to do and some stuff that you probably never thought of BUT. I have both Finale 2005 and Sibelius 3.1 (latest versions) Finale is an awesome program. Sibelius (or even Finale) is a bargain by comparison. It didn't do even 1/100 of what Sibelius will do, and it was around $499, if memory serves. It was a DOS-based program that was very cumbersome to use and printed out readable but #-looking scores. It is certainly as comprehensive a music-writing program as I've ever seen.Īnd as to cost: Yes, it's expensive, but I console myself by comparing it to the very first "professional" music-writing program I got back in the early '90's. It's not exactly a simple program to use, but that's because it'll do a gazillion things.
#Dynamics curves tabledit manual
The manual for 3.0 is excellent (the one to 1.4 stank, and the techies at Sibelius will admit that), but I don't know whether you can download the manual with the free version.
That's a good idea, but don't get discouraged if it takes you that long to figure it all out.
#Dynamics curves tabledit trial
If I'm not mistaken, Sibelius allows a free trial version of their program - something like 30 days. A number of composers are publishing their works online in Scorch these days, and scores of them (pardon the pun) are available at the American Music Center website. Still, considering that it's a free program and what all it does do well, it's more than worth the download. I've also noticed that it will occasionally ignore dynamic markings as well. My only complaint with Scorch is that it sometimes doesn't recognize tempo markings (quite unpredictable in that regard, as sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't), so you have to keep your cursor over the tempo bar and adjust it manually fairly often. It will allow you to both view and listen to music created with Sibelius. SIB files, regardless of version, but it is a read-only program. That can be a minor problem, but only if you happen to be the one with an older program.
SIB files regardless of the version used to create them. Silbelius 3.0 files cannot be read by older versions, though 3.0 will read all. There have been mutterings recently about incompatible file formats between the latest version and some predecessors.
