Sibelius

[jehangircama]

Can someone tell me where I can get this software and how much it costs. Also, how good is it for composing? Thanks.

It's very good. You can find all purchasing information on www.sibelius.com (what a surprise )

Some of my old scores are almost unreadable and covered in pencil/pen marks.

Would this product be suitable if i just wanted to re-create them??

Sibelius is pretty expensive. Better get new scores, unless you need to typeset a lot of them. And don't forget the countless hours of tedious work...

The countless hours of tedious work has put me off.

I will make do with the old ones.

Thanks for saving me £500.

Also consider Finale in your decision.  Sibelius and Finale are the two leading notation softwares.

Sibelius however is a hell of a lot easier to use and can do pretty much (more or less) everything that Finale can do. I have both of them and Sibelius is just GREAT!!!!!

Sibelius wins hands down.

however i heard of an upcoming "sibelius killer" but i just can't remember the name?!?!?! someone help me with this?

thalbergmad,

You could also use the demo (dwonloadable) version if it is only for a few scores.

Best regards,

Stephane

I am 15 and i use the program to compose.  It is very good and it costs quite a bit...
