Sibelius 7 is a new version of the popular music editor. The updated program has become even more convenient for a novice user. The editor is aimed at both professional arrangers and inexperienced users who are just starting to learn such software. The utility is able to synchronize with audio editors and studios for composing music. From our portal you can download the Russian version of Sibelius 7 for free with an activation key. We suggest moving on to an overview of the functionality and features of the application.
Possibilities
First, let's highlight the main features of the application that you should know about before downloading the installer:
- detailed settings of the musical document;
- manually adding tools;
- adding graphic objects;
- playback of the finished melody;
- adding comments;
- adding a voice track;
- inserting and editing text;
- setting up a composition using a mixer;
- score optimization.
Sheet music in Sibelius
In essence, the Sibelius program is a specialized text editor in which, instead of verbal and alphabetic text, the user operates with graphemes - musical written signs. The editor provides a wide range of tools, the main purpose of which is to increase the speed of writing graphemes, quickly detect and eliminate errors, as well as automate a number of simple repetitive tasks.
Using Sibelius, you can create sheet music of any degree of complexity, from simple melodies or guitar tablatures to scores—multi-voice musical works for performance by orchestras, ensembles, etc.
The developers of the Sibelius application have provided the ability to enter music text in several ways:
- Mouse. At any time, the user can launch a software staff with all the necessary graphemes and a mouse-controlled virtual keyboard, with the help of which note duration, pause, alteration, articulation, etc. are entered.
- Keyboard. A more convenient way to enter music text. Any keys can be configured to enter a specific grapheme or their sequence. It is especially convenient to enter chords and intervals. For example, immediately after entering a note by pressing a number key from 1 to 7, the corresponding interval will be automatically inserted into the note line. The same applies to marking durations, alteration marks, dynamic shades, etc.
- MIDI devices. Sibelius supports entering music text from any MIDI device that connects to your computer - keyboard, synthesizer, etc. The application automatically reads the digital signal of such devices, formats it into a grapheme and automatically enters it into a music book (all actions take a fraction of a second). When using MIDI devices, you can encode any acoustic parameters - timbre, tempo, key, duration, etc. In other words, any musical composition played on a MIDI device will be entered into a sheet music book for later editing or printing.
- Digital files. If the user has MIDI files or specialized notation formats (such as NIFF or MusicXML) made in other applications, they can also be used as data sources for the created composition. It is important to keep in mind here that digital files cannot always be read by the program in their original form, but this is a problem with any currently existing music text editor.
The application also provides a huge library of sounds, and it is possible to play created compositions using various virtual instruments. And all this, combined with the above, is just a small part of the capabilities of Sibelius.

How to use
Let us immediately note that for normal use of the music editor, you must install Microsoft .NET Framework 4 and all subsequent updates. Most of the work with the program involves writing music using a keyboard that emulates musical instruments. When you use the keys, certain notes are automatically fixed by the editor. After this, you can manually edit the sheet music, print it, or send it for further processing in another sound program. With Sibelius, you get the most accurate and detailed information about your created composition.
The new version of the program has a completely redesigned interface. Now the user navigates through tabs, each of which is responsible for a separate stage of writing or editing music. Once you complete tasks in one stage, you can move on to the next. If you do not have sufficient experience, then for each tool and function you can read the help in Russian.
After editing is complete, you can not only save the audio, but also burn it to a CD or publish it on the Internet.
How to use the Sibelius program
To begin with, it should be noted that to work comfortably with Sibelius you will have to download the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework. Almost the entire workflow involves working with a keyboard that imitates musical instruments. When you press buttons on the keyboard, the notes are automatically captured in order by AVID Sibelius. After completing the recording, you can start editing the sheet music list, and then send it to print or continue processing in another program. Thanks to Sibelius 8, you can find out the most accurate and detailed information about a piece of music.
In the new version of Sibelius, the shell has been completely redesigned. Now it's even easier to navigate the tabs and find the tools you need. When you're done with one step, you can easily move on to the next. If you cannot cope with some option, then read the instructions, which are written in Russian.
When editing is complete, simply save your work or burn it to a CD.
