«  Excellent »

Installing an English version as an upgrade from my French Sibelius 5. The license key was not working, but U.S. support sent me a new key in less than an hour. Since 6.2 the bp would not occur, it is the same in any language installed, the settings chosen in config

Complex software, huge manual, default config OK.

Mastering Sibelius demand so much time, but the support forum (in English which is not a pb for me) responds quickly to any questions, either technical support (excellent, who knows the app on the fingertips ), or the user community (a lot of pro among them).

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Dell Latitude E6500 Core 2 Duo 2.5Ghz, 4Gb RAM.

Not a crash in 2 years. Only pb sometimes playback of a track with a player and 34d party external library of samples does not work anymore after modif the partition. Just save and reload the partition. Sibelius or external player? hard to say or is the cause of the pb.

Good performance, but loaded on partitions, we must configure the display settings (ie set up a visual quality not too far) if any modif becomes slow.

OVERALL OPINION

I use Sibelius 5 years, expensive but very complete, very good. Nothing like a Gpro, whose sound quality and user-defined settings are limited (I gave up!). I will not hesitate to repeat the same choice
