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.

Lyrics bulk input?

MvanderG on

Netherlands

Very happy with my new iPad Pro. Now I really dove into Sibelius on iPad. Provided you have a keyboard it is very convenient! Almost everything is exactly the same as on the desktop version. Almost everything? Yes almost: if I enter lyrics via copy and paste, the desktop version smoothly places the next syllable to the next note with each command V. This super fine feature does NOT seem to work on iPad. Has anyone else experienced this issue and found something to fix it? Or do I have to wait for an update?

Super app

Netherlands

Erg blij met deze app. Gebruik de desktop variant al jaren. Zojuist de Ultimate education versie aangeschaft. Deze app werkt er fantastisch samen mee. Heb altijd nog de 7.1 desktop nog bij de hand. Deze heeft geen abonnement licentie.

Finally Transposing!

MvanderG on

Netherlands

Hooray! Transposing is now included and that makes this app a must for the modern musician ( the one that actually plays an instrument and can read:). I wished for this a long time, a superb replacement for Scorch ( the old Sibelius read-only version). Since Sibelius is the standard for many years now, there are many sib. files around. So now when your are a singer or playing transposing instrument, everybody can read straight from the Sibelius file, without having print and transpose it on a lap/desktop. Just transpose on the iPad and lock the score, ready to go! And Sibelius is in engraving features still far superior to Musecore. Dorico is nice too and though it has also a free version, it is still new and many people don’t want give upon their long build Sibelius files library. So here are my five stars for this free program ( transposing is included without a subscription/ in-app purchase). Nb a slight disadvantage is the the big size of the app (1,3Gb).

No Transpose!

The only reason I paid for the full subscription was to be able to transpose on my iPad. The command is there but not working, how is this possible? Before buying on your website and pdf description of the app says clearly that you can transpose just like Sibelius desktop. …..

More Instruments

ZittesjeBadAssMS on

Netherlands

Why are not all instruments available, for example Clarinet in Eb

Drum notation: Hihat and and Cymbels not to find?

Pacossa on

Netherlands

I can’t find how to write/notate hihat and cymbel notes. De notehead function works different as in the topsdesk version? I get the idea that this app has many limitions for drum composers.

Works really well except ……..

RichardLamers on

Netherlands

The only function I really miss is to print individual parts from a score.

很方便
