What’s new in Sibelius 2018?

With Sibelius you now get 1 year of upgrades and support included. Whereas in the past Avid Sibelius released a major update every few years, they are now launching new features as they are developed and released so you get access to them straight away rather than waiting for them to be rolled into one major update. Here are some of the new features available now/coming soon:

  • 12 Months of Upgrades Included

  • Notes & Comments - add notes and comments for you or others
  • Easy Activation - simpler activation process to get up and running faster
