Description

Sibelius brings professional music notation to iPad and iPhone, putting the workflows used by countless composers, orchestrators, and arrangers at your fingertips. Seamlessly move between iPad, iPhone and desktop, and from studio to coffeeshop to scoring stage, and write anywhere inspiration strikes.

# Work on scores anywhere
Sibelius for mobile puts the #1 selling music notation program at your fingertips—literally. Work with the same tools and features used by countless composers and production houses every day on your iPad and iPhone. Whether writing down ideas, creating full-blown compositions, or reviewing scores, you have the freedom to create wherever you’re comfortable.

#Take your portfolio to go
Forget having to bring and break out your laptop when meeting with clients and collaborators. Instead, you can conveniently take the world’s most powerful notation toolset and your entire music portfolio with you wherever you go—ideal for those unexpected opportunities. And for tandemly working through last-minute revisions.

# Hear your music in stunning detail
Sibelius includes a high-quality sample library filled with a variety of musical instrumentation, so you can hear what your music will sound like when performed by real musicians. The Espressivo advanced notation interpretation even lets you adjust rhythm and swing to create a more humanistic feel.

# Speed your workflow
Sibelius for mobile is designed to take full advantage of Apple Pencil and iPad touch capabilities. Its elegant, streamlined interface provides the most intuitive and efficient workflows possible while supporting the same keyboard shortcuts you know and love from working on the desktop version, so you’ll feel right at home.

# Get innovative note entry
Experience the pen and paper workflow reimagined. Enter notes with the onscreen Keypad or a keyboard, and Sibelius takes care of all note layout. Touch a note and drag up or down to change its value, or drag left or right to add a flat or sharp. With an Apple Pencil, tap a note and tilt up or down to add a flat or sharp, or tilt left or right to choose the note value.

# Have everything you need
In addition to the Keypad, Sibelius for mobile features a Create menu that’s optimized for iOS, making it easy to add clefs, key signatures, time signatures, barlines, symbols, text styles, and more to your score from searchable galleries. You can also quickly search through all Sibelius commands using the Command Search, putting the entire app at your fingertips.

# Move tiers to meet needs
Sibelius is designed to grow with you to support your creative aspirations and project needs. From the introductory (and free) Sibelius First to the industry-standard Sibelius Ultimate, you can add more notation capabilities and instrument parts to take on more creative opportunities by simply upgrading your subscription tier.

# Have everything on one creative platform
Seamlessly move from desktop to tablet and back without ever having to import or export files. That’s because whether on mobile or desktop, you’re always in Sibelius. With files saved to iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, or other iOS-supported cloud service, you have easy anywhere access to all your ideas and scores.

# Enable a hybrid workflow
While Sibelius for mobile is fully featured, providing many of the same tools as its desktop counterpart, there are some notation and layout features only available in the desktop version, making it an integral part of a complete workflow (compare versions). Plus, the mobile version comes free with the desktop version, enabling you to work where and how you want.

Too complicated

As a 9-year old , this is way too complicated. I don’t even know how to add such things such as Quavers and rests without making a jot. Things also don’t respond as expected

Artist subscription

Hi,I have an Artist Subscription but it seems that I can’t get the all of the features on the Ipad like the Chords.It says "specials”. Do I not get a full access on the Ipad with the Subscription? Please let me know

Very close to the desktop app

The iPad version of Sibelius was much needed and long awaited. At the moment, this is as good as it gets, and if you know the commands in the original app, navigating through the functions on iOS takes just much longer, but the result is pretty much the same. There are a few options that cannot be achieved on mobile and everything is just less fluent. A few major bugs/issues that I found without an external keyboard call for immediate action though: 1. The cut/copy/paste option is a joke. Please add the icons to the top bar and/or to the keyboard, or enable the two-fingers tap on selection and let it be quicker. 2. Typing texts such as lyrics, fingering etc… is mental. The keyboard disappearing and reappearing at each space or “-“ is so annoying it isn’t funny. 3. Fingering for guitar left hand is almost exclusively numbers. Please make the numbers keyboard appear automatically! And while we are on guitar, the sign for partial barré can’t be found on iOS. Please add it to the graphic symbols. 4. A lot of work needs to be done to recognise the wrist on the screen 5. The missing option to extend lines note by note (“space” on desktop app, for example for slurs, crescendo etc…) would make a great addition. 6. Please add an auto-save option!!! Apart from this, so far I am astonishingly thrilled: great job!

I’m trying to add a treble clef but it keeps on saying error I can’t add anything. ☹️😤🥵😩

☹️

I Can’t Cancel My Subscription

I recently signed up for the artist subscription, but when I try to cancel it, i just get sent to a page stuck on loading. I can’t cancel it please help!

Still can’t save

After restarting the device as suggested, new scores still won’t save. The mobile app is in some cases useless if I can’t save a new project

Rubbish

It just freezes everytime I try create a clef.

Almost…..

I used to have Sibelius on pc at work. Now I have Sibelius on iPad. I can’t seem to print out separate parts, only scores. Could this be looked into? Or please explain how to do it in the help link. Please.

Strings

Awesome App although my string samples aren’t working. Also would be very awesome if noteperformer worked on Ipad

So close

This is sooooo close to being awesome. But whyyy oh why can’t I import MusicXML files? Where is the PhotoScore Mobile to even convert to MusixXML? As a musician who has switched to an iPad Pro as their everyday device, I was disappointed to find that I am unable to convert or upload files directly from the iPad into Sibelius Mobile. I get that for the average person they would upload through PhotoScore on their desktop however I don’t have a desktop anymore, and there’s no such thing as PhotoScore for iPad. I would really love to be able to convert a PDF on my iPad and be able to open it into Sibelius without the need for a desktop.
