Sibelius for Windows

Professional-Grade Composition Tools

For composers and arrangers who want extremely lifelike playback, Sibelius remains a top-tier choice. It has been developed and refined for more than a decade, and many respected musicians rely on it for producing detailed, performance-ready scores.

Multi-Layer Arranging and Playback

Sibelius makes it straightforward to build complex arrangements by stacking multiple instrument parts within a single score. Each part is represented on conventional digital notation, and you can audition an individual line or hear the full ensemble. Editing is fast, and a convenient toolbar across the top of the window exposes the most commonly used formatting and customization controls.

Tailorable Workflow and Useful Additions

• An on-screen virtual piano (introduced in version 8.4) lets you audition notes and chords without an external keyboard.
• Generous memory handling and project management mean you can keep many scores available and switch between them easily.
• Staff layouts and sizing can be adjusted to match the requirements of different ensembles or printing formats.
• You can pick and prioritize preferred instruments for quicker access when building new parts or palettes.
