For that two week period, you can run Sibelius on your home computer as if it were still connected to the school network, and when the license period expires, Sibelius will no longer run without requiring reconnection to the Licence Server.
In the meantime, the school license of Sibelius effectively has one fewer license available than normal, until the checked out license is returned back to the pool of available licenses. One long-standing complaint from people who use Sibelius to set vocal or choral music in languages other than English is that Sibelius allows lyric hyphens between syllables to disappear when there is insufficient room for the hyphen to appear without colliding with the syllable on either side.
This is a useful standard behaviour for the English language, in which allowing hyphens to disappear when two syllables are sufficiently close together is a commonly-used convention in vocal and choral music. However, in some languages, the presence or absence of a hyphen can change the pronunciation or even change the meaning of the lyrics, so it has long been requested that Sibelius have an option to prevent hyphens from disappearing when lyrics get too close together.
This update also includes a number of improvements to lyric spacing and the positioning of hyphens on small staves. One of the common questions we are asked is about ensuring that the music uses an appropriate page and staff size for the number of staves in a system.
We have now added some intelligence to Sibelius that allows it to detect when the staves will either be much too large or much too small to be legible, or when the page will appear too cramped or too empty, and offer to make some adjustments for you. You can, of course, disable this behaviour if you want.
Sibelius will only snap staff sizes to the traditional rastral sizes used in plate engravings, and will only change the page size to one of the standard page sizes, dictated by your choice of European or US page sizes as specified in Preferences.
Sibelius will also perform the same operation when importing a score from PhotoScore or a MIDI file, to try and ensure that the default page layout you see upon importing such a file is as good and useful as possible.
We have switched to using OpenType fonts because this is the preferred format for fonts on the most recent versions of Mac OS X, and the previous font format used by our fonts the data fork TrueType font format, identified by the file extension.
If you run Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 5 or 4 on the same Mac, you should check out this information about font compatibility between new and older versions of Sibelius.

The Sibelius servers are pretty heavily loaded right now. Please try again over the weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience! Just wondering if there is any reason to download the 2.
The basic download is mb so I was curious of any new sounds made their way into the update. Should I have downloaded the larger combi file if I only have the sounds from the original 6. I just got that library the other week. If you already have Sibelius 6 installed and have a Sibelius 6. Hi John, Yes, I have problems with downloading too. When I have download 62 full version and try run the install, it gives a message: Corrupt file. After using an extern drive for saving the download and install Sibelius 6.
Hello, I started to download Sibelius V6. Is there a DVD available please. But it sounds quite promising. Some of the highlights:. Plenty more details are after the jump, but if you want to jump right in, Sibelius 5 or earlier users can order their upgrade to Sibelius 6 here, new users can order a copy of Sibelius 6 here or download the Sibelius 6. I plan to post in more detail about each of the most significant improvements in Sibelius 6. Slurs were given much better default shapes, improved default directions, and much greater control over their shape and contour by way of new handles, not to mention the many improvements with how slurs and articulations interact.
For example:. You can see here that the accent at the start of the first slur is colliding with the slur, and the ascender of the flat symbol is very close to the slur arc, too. Meanwhile, the descender of the natural symbol is colliding with the second slur arc. Fixing these kinds of collisions is very simple move the accent up a bit, perhaps raise the left-hand end of the first slur a tiny bit to give more room to the flat symbol, and likewise move the right-hand end of the second slur down a bit to avoid the natural symbol , but each of those edits takes a couple of seconds, and when repeated over the whole score that can add up.
Besides, Magnetic Layout is designed specifically to put an end to these kinds of repetitious, fiddly edits. So the example above now becomes:. You can see that the accent has automatically moved higher to avoid the first slur, and the left-hand end point of that slur has also been raised slightly to avoid the ascender of the flat; meanwhile, the right-hand end of the second slur has been lowered slightly to avoid the descender of the natural.
As with all other aspects of Magnetic Layout, magnetic slurs in Sibelius update in real time: unlike in some other notation programs, where you change the pitch of a note under a slur, and then have to fumble around re-selecting the slur to see the shape it has ended up, when you change pitch or add or remove articulations or accidentals, the slurs update in real time.
This sounds odd, but wait until you try it to see how powerful it can be. You can change this balance, as well as determining how much gap should be left around slurs, via Engraving Rules.
When we originally added playback of repeat structures including jumps such as D. At the time, those folks told us that after a D. While we were at it, we also added a new Manual repeats playback option, which allows you to specify the exact order in which the bars in your score should be played. One word of warning: the bar numbers you enter in the Manual repeats playback box must be the internal bar numbers, which may differ from the bar numbers shown in the score if your score begins with a pick-up bar or if you use other bar number changes throughout.
The Axiom Pro has a whole load of controls on the pearly white area above the main keyboard:. Each of these controls maps onto special functions in Sibelius. You can do obvious things, like control volumes in the Mixer using the sliders, and start and stop playback using the transport controls, but you can also do really sophisticated things.
To use GPO4 in Sibelius 6. You can mix and match sounds from different sound libraries very simply, so you can run GPO4 alongside, say, Sibelius Sounds Essentials or indeed any other library. In Sibelius 6. However, on occasion you may want to tap in a particular way to indicate in an irregular way that would be difficult for Sibelius to interpret automatically, in much the same way as a real conductor might occasionally need to warn his ensemble about why he might indicate a specific bar in a particular way.
Now you can do this in Sibelius 6. When you create a tap point, Sibelius will expect you to tap at that particular point, and will wait for you there until you tap. One of the more subtle improvements in Sibelius 6. We made these changes after discussing navigation around the score with Dan Rugman, the author of the amazing Sibelius Access tools for partially-sighted and blind users. As is usual with accessibility-driven improvements, the resulting changes are actually beneficial to all users.
