Sibelius 5 upgrades for owners of prior Sibelius versions are available ONLY from Sibelius SIBELIUS 5 is the complete software for writing, playing, printing and publishing music notation. It will make your life easier, save you time, produce fantastic results – and enable you to do things you might never have dreamed of, like publish your music on the Internet, or create your own CDs.

The new version Sibelius 5 takes another leap forward, with these new features:

STUNNING NEW SOUNDS AND PLAYBACK
Sibelius 5 comes with Sibelius Sounds Essentials as standard - a stunning collection of over 150 pitched and 900 percussion sounds, covering a wide range of orchestral, rock and pop, jazz and marching band instruments, plus the full General MIDI set.

Selected sounds from top-name libraries such as Garritan, M-Audio, and Tapspace Virtual Drumline 2 - everything you need
to start producing high-quality playback, audio files and CDs.

EFFORTLESS CONTROL WITH A NEW MIXER
The Mixer has been completely redesigned in a compact vertical layout with more features. There are extra faders for VST and Audio Unit instruments and effects, a master volume control, and you can adjust the volume and pan of whole instrument families.

COMPLETE LAYOUT CONTROL
Blank pages, margins, bar numbering, page numbers, and rehearsal marks, Sibelius 5 gives you even more control and flexibility in the layout of your score.

TAKE CONTROL OF PLUG-INS
With Sibelius 5, you can now undo plug-ins. The ManuScript language used to write plug-ins now supports tuplets, object deletion, notehead types, bar number changes, cue-sized objects, blank pages, time positions, score duration, and lyric syllabification.

NEVER LOSE ANOTHER IDEA
Ideas Hub is a unique new feature which lets you capture, use and re-use snippets of music notation. As well as using your own ideas, over 2000 ready-made ones are included - ideal for teaching. Share your ideas - save them in a score and export them as a file that you can send to others or even publish on the Internet using the latest Sibelius Scorch technology.

LET YOUR CREATIVITY FLOW
Now with Panorama in Sibelius 5, you can view your score as a single strip on an infinitely-wide page, and when you are ready to print, Sibelius 5 will automatically format your pages properly.

Panorama encourages students to take their ideas even further and explore greater possibilities in their compositions by
removing the artificial barrier of a page layout.

Panorama's Magic Margin on the left-hand side of the screen shows you the prevailing clef, key signature, and instrument name, and updates dynamically as you drag the score.
