Today, Sibelius announced their latest version - [b]Sibelius 6[/b]. You can read about it and its various features [url=http://www.sibelius.com/6]here.[/url]

Please note that we'll be in the process of updating a VDL template specifically for Sibelius 6 users, however folks who've purchased the 5.2.5 template should be in safe shape to continue with their current template/sound set with the exception of a few minor, manual tweaks which will be posted in due course.

As always, keep an eye on the forum for the latest news!

Man, that Magnetic Layout and the DAW interface are worth the price alone!

I don't know a lot about rewire, but does this mean that I can finally use Sibelius to ";play"; Logic/GB in realtime? (without exporting a midi file)

For example, using my sibelius to trigger my logic audio instruments?

[i]
From wikipedia rewire entry... ";This allows, for example, the output from synthesizer software to be fed directly into a linear editor without the use of intermediate files or analog transfers.";[/i]

Magnetic Layout is awesome!

I'm was gonna upgrade to 5.2.5, now I'm just gonna wait another year, buy my mac with graduation money, and get Sibelius 6.

Absolutely Amazing!

I guess I am stupid or something, but I can't find how much it costs for registered users to upgrade...............I am guessing $99?  Bueller?..........anyone?

Mine came up as $169.  Sibelius 6 Competitive Crossgrade Edition.  I can't believe I get hosed every time a new version comes out.  That's an interesting way to encourage loyalty.  Oh well....I'm waiting a bit anyway.

Mine too, I have an email out the info@sibelius.com to see what they can do. The $129 is for the educational upgrade.

Magnetic Layout... about time!  :)  That will save hours.

My thoughts EXACTLY!

I found out that if you bought and registered Sibelius 5 after April 2009 the upgrade is free.

April 6th is the cut-off.  If you registered Sibelius 5 for the first time on or after April 6 you are entitled to an amnesty upgrade.

This magnetic layout tool is the best idea EVER!
