Product Description

It’s time to share the song in your head with the rest of the world. Sibelius First unleashes the songwriter in you – simply and easily. If you’re more comfortable with a guitar or keyboard than the intricacies of musical notation, Sibelius First is for you. It’s the easy way to create scores that you can print, share, post online, or even sell. Sibelius First features “can’t mess-up” templates and plug-ins to help you create lead sheets, guitar tab and complete scores. Simply play your MIDI keyboard or MIDI guitar (or use your PC or Mac) and First turns your music into notes and chord symbols. Just add lyrics – and your name. The world is waiting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Value, November 9, 2008

This review is from: Sibelius First - Music Notation Software (CD-ROM)
My wife is a songwriter and was able to quickly and easily learn this software and use it to compose a choir piece. It's obviously not as powerful as the full version, but definitely is a better value. The Sibelius forums are very helpful for whatever you can't figure out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sibelius First software, January 10, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sibelius First - Music Notation Software (CD-ROM)
Notation software that is relatively easy and intuitive to use. Not as powerful as Finale Print Music, but infinitely more useful with a much lower frustration factor.

I use SharpEye music scanning software to scan printed music and open the scanned music files in Sibelius First for editing and playback. I can then learn my vocal parts without being able to sight sing. The combination of SharpEye and First works great for my application.

The music scanning feature of Sibelius First does not allow separation of parts (for example, separation of baritone and bass lines appearing on the same staff of a sheet of printed music), which makes scanning under Siblius First unusable for my application. Music scanning under Finale Print Music was a complete waste of time and error-filled. Music scanning with SharpEye is very accurate, can be easily edited, and allows automated separation of parts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sibelius is the best notation software, July 18, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sibelius First - Music Notation Software (CD-ROM)
Before buying Sibelius One I downloaded a trial version as well as a trial version of Finale Print Music and used both to work on producing a score for a piece of music for solo piano that I had composed and which was in MIDI form. Sibelius was the clear winner, it had a more pleasing user interface and I was able to figure out how to do everything I needed to do either by reading the manual or by searching the Web. I have not noticed any essential features that are lacking from Sibelius One, so far I have been able to do everything I need to produce a professional looking score which can I have already posted on the sibeliusmusic web site.
