Your musicality and imagination are limitless. Turn your musical vision into compelling scores that move audiences—from the stage or screen—with Sibelius.

From concert halls to scoring stages, more composers, arrangers, copyists, and engravers use Sibelius than any other tool. It’s the fastest, smartest way to write music.

Express your music as notation
Sibelius helps drive the composing process while ensuring your score is accurate, legible, and beautiful. From the intuitive task-oriented interface and professional sound library, to the timesaving Magnetic Layout, Sibelius helps you bring your musical vision to life.

Create
Composer rich, detailed scores with easy-to-use music notation tools.

Write parts with ease
Enter notes quickly using the onscreen notation, keyboard, and fretboard windows. Or, use your MIDI keyboard and Sibelius music writing software will capture the nuances of your performance and intelligently lay out the notes. Magnetic Layout automatically adjusts and spaces out your notation as you write, avoiding collisions to produce a beautiful score with minimal effort.

Orchestrate
Create and perfect the arrangement and instrumentation in your score.

Transform music into perfect scores
Quickly adapt your music and arrangement for any ensemble and performance with a full suite of powerful orchestration tools. From intelligent MIDI import workflows, to the ability to refine every instrument, Sibelius enables you to create arrangements intuitively whether you’re working with a solo piano or a full orchestra.

Hear your music in stunning detail
With a high-quality 32 GB sample library filled with a wide variety of musical instrumentation, you can hear what your compositions will sound like when performed. The Espressivo advanced notation interpretation even lets you adjust rhythm and swing to create a more humanistic feel.

Create parts dynamically
Dynamic Parts automatically creates individual instrument parts as a score is being created. For copyists, this eliminates the need to extract parts or make destructive changes to a score when prepping sheet music for different instrumental parts. Changes to the full score are automatically reflected in the parts, while individual parts can be changed without affecting the full score.

Engrave intelligently
Create beautiful, legible scores quickly with advanced notation tools and multi-edit capabilities. Add slurs, hairpins, ties, or other staff lines across multiple instruments, and make edits to barlines, expression and technique text, and lyrics all in one action. Sibelius intelligently spaces notes and elements, keeping everything in perfect alignment.

Perform complex tasks with ease
Supercharge Sibelius with extra features and capabilities courtesy of the generous user community. These free plugins accelerate and simplify complex engraving, notating, layout, processing, text, and other tasks. See and search for all available plugins in the Install Plug-ins dialog to find what you need.

Import MIDI intelligently NEW!
With Intelligent MIDI Import, you can transform MIDI compositions from Pro Tools and other DAWs into fully orchestrated scores with just a click. Import MIDI into a Sibelius score or template, and all proper notation, instrumentation, techniques, and articulations are automatically assigned, preserving the composer’s intent and saving hours—or even days—of clean-up time.

Create and arrange parts fast
The Arrange feature makes it easy to orchestrate additional instrument parts from existing ones. Simply select an orchestration style and Sibelius automatically creates new parts based on your source parts. You can also automatically “explode” notation across multiple instrument parts to speed your workflow. Or consolidate multiple parts into one at the click of a button.

Share your scores
With Sibelius | Cloud Sharing, you can share your scores online and on social media, enabling anyone to view and play your compositions anywhere, using any device.

Practice and perform with your iPad
Turn your iPad into an interactive music stand and score library for practice and performance. With the Avid Scorch app, you can easily adapt scores to your needs.

Jumpstart your score
