Title: Sibelius Notation Software - serious issue
Post by: revtonynewnham on August 03, 2012, 10:13:18 AM
Hi

Not an organ in danger, but widely used music notation software.  It seems that Avid (the current owners of Sibelius) have no concept of customer service - Sibelius staff have been sacked and the software "frozen".  Ridiculous for what is probably the most widely used notation software - at least in pro circles.

See http://www.artsjournal.com/slippeddisc/2012/08/at-sibelius-software-the-last-staff-turn-out-the-lights.html

Every Blessing

This is really bad news and will have serious implications for musicians and the music publishing industry.  Sibelius is far and away the best music software system.  I remember when I first got it (in the days when it needed an Acorn computer to run it), it took twenty minutes from opening the boxes to feeling at home using it.
