synthesizers, 17 edo electric guitar, and unconstrained pitch metallic
objects (I was allowed to sample a metal work shop).

I'm not sure if all of you are informed about recent situation concerning Sibelius score editor software. Please read this and sign a petition, I did it one week ago as Sibelius user since the version 1 and member of Sibelius yahoo group. Spread this info to all your music friends and ask them to sign.

Here's what you can do:

Thanks, hopefully this invaluable piece of software can be saved.

I have the latest version 7 of Sibelius and it SUCKS big time in terms of ease-of-use. Why would I want to complicate note-setting with getting lost under all those tumefied menus with counter-intuitive symbology, occupying my already limited pixel height in the hated microsoft office "ribbon" way?

And what about having to click so many times to get around just to press the play button?

It's a joke. Really.

Time to give total support to the Mus2 kindred of "microtonal from the bottom-up" software that will totally work for guys knowing how to bend pitches like us. Who cares about Sibelius any more with its bloated sample libraries and update procedures that requires you to follow critical patches via complicated authentication methods?

The lustre is gone. Time to move on.

Oz.

I have Sib 6 so I was preserved from using ribbon. There was lot of
complaints about it in Sibelius yahoo group but later many users
accepted it and got used to it. I can't judge.

For sure Sibelius has some imperfections, and I still miss support for
polymetrics and polytempo plus some other specialties, but it's
usable. I don't use at all its playback features and don't understand
well why they try to connect standard music notation with musically
live playback - IMVHO it's totally two different approaches to music,
quite incompatible. But OK. Worth of saving for future development.
