It's not fun to write music without being able to share it? Sibelius 7 First notation software gives you more options than ever before. You can export scores to video or share directly to YouTube, SoundCloud, and Facebook then publish scores online or export for iPad; and more. Of course, you can print, email, export scores as MIDI/MusicXML/PDF, and create audio files. You can also send scores to the Avid Scorch mobile app and take them anywhere.

Magnetic Layout takes care of almost every detail of score layout with ease.  As students write, it gives everything just the right amount of space and avoids collisions to produce beautiful results. This feature can cut writing time in half, leaving more time for teaching.

If students prefer to use a keyboard to learn and write notation, this beautiful window is ideal. You can simply click on the keys to input notes and chords or play a computer’s QWERTY keys just like a piano. When you play back a score, the keyboard plays too.

Want to swap comments or score ideas with other students and teachers? Simply place sticky notes directly on the score.

Sibelius 7 First understands the same chord types as Sibelius 7, and will even recognize and produce appropriate chord symbols in text and/or guitar diagrams when students input using a MIDI device or by typing suffix elements. It’s yet another time-saving feature that makes Sibelius 7 First the most intuitive software for creating notation.

Sibelius 7 First works with all M-Audio controller keyboards, giving users numerous choices for entering notes and playing along with your compositions. Sibelius 7 First is even compatible with HyperControl, the MIDI mapping technology used in M-Audio Axiom Pro controller keyboards. HyperControl allows you to make music faster and easier by automatically mapping the knobs, faders, drum pads and numeric keypad buttons on the keyboard to playback, Mixer, and note input controls in Sibelius First. The two-way link ensures the keyboard’s controls are always in sync with your software.

The latest release of Sibelius First features a better-than-ever range of sampled instrument sounds, including samples from the exclusive Avid Orchestra and rock and pop soundsfrom the team behind the Pro Tools Creative Collection and the Pro Tools Instrument Expansion Pack.
