In this tutorial, I go over the essentials when it comes to operating Sibelius as a beginner. I personally use Sibelius Ultimate, which is the completely unlocked software, but there are other tiers like Sibelius First and their free versions. Sibelius can do so many power things when it comes to notation and composing, but this shouldn’t be your first notation software as a composer. I would start paying for Sibelius (and NotePerformer 3) once you’re a little more established, and your software isn’t holding you back. https://carloslalonde.ck.page/8b93ce6c53 -- 🎹 Who Am I: I'm Carlos, a freelance composer and music student.
