Sibelius Forum Community Guidelines Posted by Venancio @ Avid - 23 Oct 09:55PM (edited 26 Oct 04:32PM) Hide picture One of our goals is to help you succeed in whatever field you're in. We'd like for you to use the tool that best fits you, and we really hope that it’s Sibelius. That being said, we share the opinion of some of the members here that there's a place for Dorico questions to be answered, and that is the Dorico forum. We've never deleted posts which mentioned other notation programs as long as they're solving customer problems and are kept to a minimum. However, full-discussion threads on competitive software are deemed inappropriate as this forum is made available for the community to get/give help and advice about Sibelius. We'd like to inform everyone that we will be removing the Dorico threads. This community remains a place where all Sibelius users can receive support from fellow users, the Sibelius Product Development team, and the Sibelius Customer Care and Community team.

Re: Sibelius Forum Community Guidelines Posted by Chris Crawley - 23 Oct 10:30PM (edited 23 Oct 10:30PM) Hide picture Thank you, Vee, for clarifying this. I can't say I'm surprised at Avid's decision to axe the threads mentioned. However, I hope that anyone who is interested in other scoring programs and is uncertain where to find help and to air their views realises that they can Google the forum Vee mentions and can also find relevant pages on Facebook - where there are also at least two Sibelius-related groups. Also, the Sibelius blog (you can Google that as well) covers other programs than Sibelius; this is not, of course, connected with Avid. -- Chris Crawley (composer and horn-player) using Sibelius 7.1.3, NotePerformer, Windows 8.1 64-bit, Intel Core i7 3.30GHz, 64GB RAM, DacMagic 100 Back to top | All threads

Dorico was released last week, so there's a lot of hype around that, and huge traffic on the Dorico forum, and elsewhere (Facebook, twitter, what have you). Dorico is not a perfect product - in a lot of ways Sibelius is superior, at least at this point. Comparison of engraving programs, and comparing features, and pros and cons, is fair game as far as I am concerned. [Insert Long Pause - or Fermata?] What really ticks me off are the extremely negative and disparaging comments towards Sibelius and its development, some of them really personal. "Sibelius is at a dead end" "Avid is just milking the product" "Avid is evil" "There is no development" It is really unfair, and bullshit. I know that Sam and Joe are working on a lot of things. No - not a cure for a cancer - but the product is far from dead. -- Peter Roos www.summeroflovemusic.com IMDb: www.imdb.com/name/nm2039241 Back to top | All threads

Re: Sibelius Forum Community Guidelines Posted by Laurence Payne - 23 Jul 12:19AM Hide picture You're not one of those boring people who've taken a set against Facebook are you? It has its uses, if only for finding out when your friends' funerals are - a Facebook announcement is often considered sufficient these days. I think the kids have moved elsewhere, but FB is still a prime resource for the over-40s crowd. There's a better s/n ratio here than on the Facebook Sibelius groups. And it's useful to be able to directly attach sib files to replies rather than just pictures. Back to top | All threads

Re: Sibelius Forum Community Guidelines Posted by monsterjazzlicks - 23 Jul 02:01PM (edited 23 Jul 02:01PM) Hide picture Peter, If that is your experience then all well and good – and I hope it leads on to more positive things for you. You obviously have no reasons to fault the platform. But I can honestly say that I have never had a single gig booked from any online profiles I created during the advent of the internet. One example: everyone kept pestering and sending me invites to join a site called ‘Link-In’ (or something like that). In the end I gave in and a mate showed me how to create a profile. Since then, I have something like one-thousand people following me (or ‘friends’ the site may call them). I don’t have a clue who any of these people are and it has never led to anything other than lots of ‘spam’ mail! Every gig I have played has been through either someone seeing me perform, or else though a recommendation. Anyway, that’s just my own experience I am sharing. I won’t comment here again as I do not wish to detract from the initial subject-matter of this thread. Thanks, Paul Back to top | All threads

Hi Laurence, Why would not being a member of FaceBook make me “boring”, please? I have to say, that is one of the most unfounded and idiotic things I have heard. People do have their own personal reasons for not joining I might add (as do my entire family – not just myself). This is possibly (whether joking or not) the third condescending remark you have made against me in as many months. While you may be wizard on Sibelius, it’s probably best (for this forum) we don’t communicate from now on. Good luck with your music. Paul Back to top | All threads

Re: Sibelius Forum Community Guidelines Posted by daveje - 12 Feb 10:25PM Hide picture I purchased Note Performer a few months ago, and I can highly recommend it. I'm very pleased with its playback. You just download it, then open Sibelius, and there it is, ready to go. Bring up a score and it will imediately play back with Note Performer.
