Sibelius

Sibelius Publisher's Description:
At Sibelius, we believe notation software should be a joy to use, not a frustration. If you thought it was impossible for an advanced scorewriter to be easy to use, think again: you'll be astonished by Sibelius's intuitive design and uncompromising quality. And our latest version, Sibelius 4, is another giant leap forwards for notation software, with three ground-breaking features, unique among notation products, that will change the way you work with music: Dynamic Parts keeps instrumental parts in the same file as the score, and keeps both score and parts up-to-date as you edit; attach a digital video to your score and compose to picture, with the video in perfect synchronization to the score's playback; and use the Worksheet Creator to generate teaching materials in moments, choosing from the more than 1700 ready-made worksheets and other resources.
