Speakers and headphones Though technically not a Sibelius topic, this is nonetheless important: When listening to your scores, it greatly helps to have decent loudspeakers. Your mileage may vary, but most people's ears tend to tire pretty fast when listening to sound coming out of the average PC-loudspeakers.

Unless you are a skilled programmer or are prepared to spend many hours studying and working the examples, you likely will not get very far. There is a ManuScript developers' mailing list for those interested in getting help on writing plug-ins. To subscribe, send an email to majordomo@sibelius.com with th…

Save Frequently The first way to prevent losing your work is to save frequently. A save is merely a backup of what is on the screen.
