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.

Touch a note and drag up or down to change its value, or drag left or right to add a flat or sharp. Enter notes with the onscreen Keypad or a keyboard, and Sibelius takes care of all note layout. Sibelius for mobile reimagines the pen and paper experience for tablet with new patent pending note input workflows, taking full advantage of Apple Pencil and iPad touch capabilities so that nothing gets between the creator and the music. “I can write sketches, amend and review full orchestral scores, tweak choral charts anywhere I am.

For me, it is the single biggest advance in notation software in a decade,” said composer Simon Franglen. “Sibelius on an iPad is transformational. They can take the world’s most powerful notation toolset and entire music portfolio with them wherever they go-ideal for those unexpected opportunities, instead of having to bring and break out a laptop when meeting with clients and collaborators. With files saved to iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive or other iOS-supported cloud service, users have access anywhere to all their ideas and scores. While expanding their horizons, creators can keep all their work on one platform, seamlessly moving from desktop to tablet and back without ever having to import or export files. Sibelius for mobile opens up new workflows, allowing users to work on their pieces anywhere, to collaborate smoothly with others, and to showcase their work at a moment’s notice-fitting right into the new paradigm of music creation.” “Composers, arrangers, and songwriters need easy ways to share and demonstrate their work in a variety of contexts far beyond the traditional settings like studios and practice rooms. Creators of all kinds have shifted to more remote collaboration and new workflows demanding more sharing and more flexibility,” explains Sam Butler, Director of Product Management at Avid. “Music composition is no longer about just sitting in front of a piano or a desktop, working on a score alone.
