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.

Ratings and Reviews
Ottimo
Per me è un ottimo prodotto, non capisco cos’abbiano tutti da lamentarsi, ottimo anche con pencil, perfetta sincronizzazione anche con i miei dispositivi Apple
Mi aspettavo di più da Sibelius
Sinceramente, sono rimasto abbastanza deluso da Sibelius con questa applicazione; tanti aspetti critici:
1) ricerca funzioni molto artificiosa e spesso infruttuosa;
2) non è presente una barra in cui inserire le funzioni più in uso da tenere a portata di mano durante la scrittura;
3) l’inserimento di voci secondarie entra in funzione anche quando non richiesto (è come se l’impostazione di default fosse settata su “ Fuga a quattro voci”).
L’unico punto a sua favore è il risultato finale del lavoro (classica impaginazione e layout di Sibelius o simili).
Tuttavia, per scrivere anche solo mezza pagina(rigo singolo di violino per es.) è necessaria circa 1h/1h30’….. TROPPO!
Quando si vuole lanciare un’app del genere per iPad, le parole chiave devono essere portabilità, velocità, semplicità! Se anche solo uno di questi aspetti viene meno, non ha più senso e conviene il classico programma sul computer!
Se l’app fosse ben fatta, accetterei di buon grado il pagamento UNA TANTUM anche di 30/40 €.
Gratis in questo modo non ha senso….
Non vale la pena
Ho la licenza for Artist per desktop ma su questo mobile ha un mare di limitazioni , praticamente inutilizzabile, per me soldi buttati, pensate non mi fa aggiungere strumenti, non mi fa mettere accordi…..grazie per la risposta ho provato in tutti i modi ma niente accordi non me ne fa mettere. Con il vostro consiglio mi ha fatto aggiungere gli strumenti ma una volta uscito è ritornato come prima e cioè niente strumenti.
