Ideas are precious. That's why Sibelius 5 gives you the Ideas Hub, the easy way to capture, tag, find and bring together your musical ideas. With Ideas Hub, you'll never let another flash of inspiration slip by again.

New Built-in Sounds
Sibelius 5 comes with Sibelius Sounds Essentials as standard - a 2GB collection of sounds selected from top-name libraries such as Garritan Personal Orchestra, Garritan Jazz & Big Band, Garritan Concert & Marching Band, and Tapspace Virtual Drumline.
VST and Audio Units Support
A huge variety of VST and Audio Unit instruments are available from numerous manufacturers - and now Sibelius 5 can play back using any of them! So you can hear your scores played back by the world's most advanced sound libraries.
Panorama
Panorama is a new, clearer way of viewing music in Sibelius. Instead of being chopped up into systems and pages, the music is shown in a single, infinitely-wide strip - far easier to read and navigate around. So now you can just think about the notes, and forget about page layout until you're ready to print.
Easy Cues and Instrument Changes
Creating cues in parts is now the work of a moment. Just copy the music you want to appear in the cue, and choose Paste As Cue. Sibelius 5 does the rest for you. And changing instruments on a score is now equally simple.
Customizable Layout Control
Sibelius 5 also offers users complete and easy layout control, covering bar and page numbering, blank pages, sheet music margins and more - making it easier than ever to produce beautiful scores.
Power Tools and un-Doable Plug-ins
Incredible new hand written-style fonts, chord symbols, note names, functional analysis, early music and avant garde symbols, new plug-ins with undo... Sibelius 5 has it all.
Universal Binary
Sibelius 5 supports the very latest technologies. It's now a Universal Binary application, so it runs at top speed on Intel-based Macs. You can use it on the new Leopard operating system (Mac OS X 10.5), and it also has improved tab, mouse and scroll wheel support.
