Sibelius - Dead?

Featured Replies

I'm not Sibelius user, but this is pretty sad. http://www.artsjournal.com/slippeddisc/2012/08/at-sibelius-software-the-last-staff-turn-out-the-lights.html

Nothing will change.

Sib 7 was bad anyways...I'm keeping 6! It's not perfect but it's way better than anything else.

The main thing is....no celesta sound :(

I was also mad at Finale 2011 not having any celesta available :mad: ! It just ruined a chance for me to display it. So it's a tie with Sibelius...

I have to use glock and/or vibes as the sound :(

If Sibelius "dies" it would be a tragedy. I really love it!

Well, if this really happens, I will simply stick to 6.0 version which I own. :)

I do not belive gosip in which this article writes about.

It's true as far as I know. I learned about this from a reputable source before the article was posted.

LilyPond is the future >.>

LilyPond, yay!

EDIT: Ok, I like the output, the simplicity of the notepad-entry (this is for the real nerds), etc. But despite that all I have very seldom used it. I stick to the GUI of Finale, spoiled by the playback it offers. I know Lilypond can generate a MIDI output, but I am lazy... :)

Should I still buy still Sibelius 7?

Absolutely

Should I still buy still Sibelius 7?
