- From being a user of Sibelius 3 and upgrading to Sibelius 4 I've noticed a lot of difference in score menus and where things used to be
- this is a slight annoyance and I don't see the reason for moving things around - Just like a supermarket after 6 months!
- Music to Video Feature - Enjoyed this new feature but wonder if it's precise enough to use in a professional environment? Students often
ask me about this resource and I cannot offer much advice since film scoring is pretty new to me as well. Pupils are interested in taking this up
at College or University level and want industry-standard music software.
- Importing Graphics - I wonder why Sibelius didn't include a feature to import JPEGs and GIFs. The TIFF import is fine for commercial publishing
but maybe folk just want to print scores on their regular printers!
- The education templates offer much more flexibility for teachers. I've found it very easy to adapt for my own music class.
- I managed to export from Finale to Sibelius - Well, almost everything. This is a great advantage for all of my existing Finale scores when I decided to move to Sibelius.
- There are literally hundreds of worksheets - Well done guys, this has been carefully thought out for music education.
- The sounds from the Kontakt Player sound improved and I also noticed an addition to the sound banks.
- Documentation has been improved greatly. Version 3 offered a pretty poor index to find things.
- The facility to copy scores into Word is absolutely fantastic - Before, I had to ask the art department for advice, this is a breakthrough and saves a lot of time
when I'm construction a lesson plan.
- Adding a simple harmony works in most situations - I think this a great feature and it opens doors to new musical ideas. I just add it in quickly and listen to the results - can sound
quite interesting at times!
- Some of the keyboard shortcuts had changed and now I have to relearn some of them - This is a bit annoying as I was fairly fast at using them before.
- Scanning music seems to have improved. Before, I was struggling to scan up to 4 voices.
- I am a MAC user and have found the graphics in this software excellent for music publishing.
