music writing software with notation, layout, and 16-part composition playback. Perpetual license.

With the 2023.5 release, you can now create dynamic parts for each player from combined staves in the score. This release also includes improvements to shortcuts, the Quick Start, Accessibility, ManuScript plugin language, and more.

Whether you're a professional film composer, music educator, composition student, or a hobbyist who must deal with limited free time, Sibelius gives you the leg-up you need to realize your music, particularly where time is your greatest challenge. Among film composers working against tight deadlines, it's a well-known fact that coming in under budget (which is where your profits lay) is the shortest distance between score and soundstage. That's where Sibelius shines. The biggest speed bump in that scenario is what happens after the score is written. In the days of handwritten notation, that's where the hard work began. Apart from finding mistakes in notation, what works on paper doesn't always work in the room, and what works in the room doesn't always work in a recording. With Sibelius, there are several functions that streamline the process, from the ability loop selections at various tempi (great for experimentation as well as education), scrub playback to spot-check parts and make corrections, and advanced features that let you speed through score refinement. Plus, it integrates with Pro Tools and other software that enable you to compose, transcribe, publish, and protect your work with Cloud publishing tools and digital rights management. Sibelius is the most used notation software among professionals, aspiring composers, educators, and students.

Sibelius features in depth

Write music quickly and easily

With a complete upgrade of its underlying infrastructure, powerful multi-edit capabilities, and an intuitive task-based interface leading you through the entire score creation process, composing music is easier than ever. Whether you enter notes from the onscreen notation, keyboard, or fretboard windows, or from your MIDI or computer keyboard, Sibelius takes care of all note layout, orientation, and rest details for you.

Build up your composition

With support for up to 16 instrument parts (staves), you can create rich, multilayered compositions. But it's not just about notes. Add chord symbols and guitar chord diagrams by simply playing a chord on a MIDI device or typing suffix elements. Turn guitar tab into notation and back again. And easily add lyrics, titles, text, and graphics to round out your score.

Create beautiful scores fast

Spend more time writing music instead of fixing it. As you write, Magnetic Layout automatically gives everything just the right amount of space and avoids collisions to produce beautiful results, cutting writing time in half. And Dynamic Parts can automatically create and update separate instrumental parts whenever you change your score.

Hear your music in stunning detail
