Get to know Sibelius! The Sibelius 6 Student edition makes award-winning notation software features more affordable than ever before. This is the perfect way to get started with Sibelius if you need up to 12 staves of notation — maybe you're composing for a jazz combo or arranging a song for a quartet. Sibelius 6 Student is also perfect for the music student who uses a full-blown version of Sibelius in the classroom, but who needs a streamlined and affordable version to complete homework and excercises at home! New features taken from the full version make Sibelius 6 Student an unbelievable value for any musician.

Educators and composers all around the globe rely on Sibelius for creative work — it's a friendly creative environment packed with an exceptional collection of useful tools and ways to speed up your workflow. With this latest version of Sibelius 6 Student, you'll find all the essentials you need to get to know Sibelius. You can compose with up to 12 staves, and you can even save your files as MIDI so you can use them on any other computer or inside other software programs. You have the power you need to notate, play back, transpose, and print music. But to really open up the creative possibilities, Sibelius added a ton of amazing features from Sibelius 6 to the affordable Sibelius 6 Student.

One of the most exciting new features is the addition of Magnetic Layout. This system helps you automatically avoid collisions, so your scores look right the first time. There's no need for time-consuming manual positioning and editing! Sibelius also gave Sibelius 6 Student full audio export support. If you're working on homework, now you can actually export your files as audio so you can e-mail an MP3 to your teacher or to your friends. Speaking of sound, if you have a collection of VST or AU virtual instruments, you can use them inside Sibelius to play back your sounds. It's a great way to bring your creations to "life" and hear how your compositions will sound in your bigger projects in other pieces of software.

Normally musicians use a MIDI controller keyboard to input notes in Sibelius. However, to make it easy, you now don't even need a MIDI controller to get to work — this is a great feature for the student at home or in the library, with limited space. You can play your QWERTY keyboard like it's a piano! Or, you can use an onscreen keyboard window to click in notes where they need to be.

Finally, you're now able to add "sticky note" comments to your projects. Maybe your teacher wants to leave you a note, or you want to mark a part that you're not quite finished yet so you know right where you want to get started... whatever you want to do, you'll be glad this feature is in Sibelius 6 Student. You can even store multiple versions of your project inside the same file, so you can go back and compare the project as it is right now with your version from a few weeks back. It's helpful and easy!

If you're a student in a music class or a musician/composer interested in streamlining your workflow with the power of notation software, Sibelius 6 Student is the perfect place to start!
