Switch to Sibelius from Finale
Compatible with you
If you’ve been using Finale® for many years, you may have become accustomed to its Speedy Entry note input method. Sibelius has introduced a new step-time note input method to help users of other notation software to work comfortably in Sibelius, allowing them to continue using many of the same familiar keystrokes for note entry.
Using our step-time note input method, you can freely experiment on your MIDI keyboard without inputting—a note or chord is only input into your score when you both play it on your keyboard and specify a rhythmic duration.
Compatible with others
Sibelius 7 now includes high-quality MusicXML export using a built-in export engine that delivers superior results to existing third-party plug-ins, at no extra cost.
There’s no reason not to start your next project in Sibelius—you can easily share files with friends and colleagues using Finale, or any of hundreds of other music programs, via MusicXML.
