Sibelius 5 Educational Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sibelius 5 is essential music notation software for anyone who needs this sort of software--professionals, educators, students and amateurs. Sibelius is, quite simply, as powerful as it is easy to use. While, I think, many more people are familiar with Finale, and while the end product of your score would probably be the same if you used Finale, with Sibelius, it's much more fun because it's so extremely easy.
Here are a couple of specific things I like about it: Cross-staff beaming is a breeze. If you make a change in a conductor's score, the change is instantly updated in the individual part. Formatting is instant if you move things around.
Also, if you're a film score student, Sibelius 5 has several videos, complete with scores, built in, and video instructions teach you how to do it.
If you're an educator, Sibelius 5 comes with hundreds of worksheets that I find to be extremely useful.
In fact, the best way to see how easy Sibelius is to use is to go to their website, www.sibelius.com, and download a demo version. Please note, this demo is the full notation software. Unlike other demos that hold back many of its key features, this demo will let you do anything and everything--with the obvious exception of printing and saving. Try it out for yourself and see just how easy it is.
I continue to be amazed at how powerful and easy this software is. Try the demo, then come back here and buy it.
