Sibelius

G7 Reviews

JazzTimes

"The interface... is as user-friendly as I can imagine any program like this being, save for something that downloads a guitarist's thoughts straight from the brain."

JazzTimes, May 2005

The Wall Street Journal Europe

"G7 is designed for guitarists looking to compose, arrange or annotate riffs and songs. Plug the instrument into a computer using a Musical Instrument Digital Interface, or MIDI, such as a Roland G20, and, in minutes, you can transform a 12-bar blues into a fully arranged piece...

"And then? You can burn the song onto a CD, or even copyright it, publish it on the Internet and wait to sell it and be discovered."

The Wall Street Journal Europe, October 2004

MI Pro

"Sibelius' G7 guitar notation and tabulation software package has come in for its first pit stop and, a mere 5.5 seconds or so later, has pulled back out into the fast lane looking pretty neat, with more power and altogether ahead of the field in this particular area of software."
 
"Quite simply, there has never been a more helpful tool for the songwriting guitarist."

MI Pro magazine, September 2004

 

Computer Music

"G7 is a great product and seems to do much to address the specific needs of guitarists and songwriters. It should certainly speed up the production of standard notation or tab, and will make it easier for guitarists to share and exchange music in different formats. Budding songwriters will find that this is a tool to make their efforts look and sound much more professional."

Bass Guitar Magazine

"It's an extremely useful piece of software that guitarists and bassists have every right to get excited about. Being able to put your hands on first-rate notation software at this price is excellent news indeed."

Bass Guitar Magazine, Nov/Dec 2003

FutureMusic

"It's mission accomplished for Sibelius. G7 is a great tool for scoring and learning and no doubt will be found in colleges and studios sooner than you can say Tablature. Nice."
