Notation Software

If you're a regular reader of any music magazine, you've probably heard of Sibelius. It's fast becoming the notation software of choice in the music community. And the reason is simple—finally there's a full-featured notation program that's actually user-friendly!

We are planning to use Sibelius 6 on our next publication, so we'll be able to tell you more about the program in the future. Until then, you can learn more by visiting sibelius.com.
