    Introduction

    If you work through at least the first three of the five tutorial projects in this guide before embarking on any serious work of your own
    with Sibelius® you will be able to input, edit, play back, and print out straightforward music, and you’ll know how to get going on more
    complicated music too. Sibelius is easy to learn and mostly self-explanatory, but if you don’t work through these projects you will run
    a risk of never discovering some basic features, particularly if you are used to notation programs that work in different ways.

    Sibelius | First, Sibelius, and Sibelius | Ultimate


    The Sibelius software product line consists of three tiers of feature functionality ranging from beginner to professional: Sibelius | First
    (perfect for beginners), Sibelius (great for students and skilled amateurs), and Sibelius | Ultimate (a must for professionals). Throughout
    this guide, “Sibelius” generally refers to all three—Sibelius | First, Sibelius, and Sibelius | Ultimate—for the sake of readability.

    Sibelius software is installed using a single installer and runs the same application regardless of which tier is authorized. Your software
    license determines which tier of Sibelius software functionality is authorized to run on your computer.
    Sibelius | First Runs when no license for either Sibelius or Sibelius | Ultimate is activated on your computer.

    Sibelius Only runs when a Sibelius license is activated on your computer.

    Sibelius | Ultimate Only runs when a Sibelius | Ultimate license is activated on your computer.

    Throughout these tutorials, “Sibelius” generally refers to all three tiers of Sibelius software for the sake of readability:
    Sibelius | First, Sibelius, and Sibelius | Ultimate. As you work through these tutorial projects you will notice that not all
    features that are available in Sibelius | Ultimate are available in Sibelius; and not all features available in Sibelius are
    available in Sibelius | First. This differences are noted where appropriate. Refer to the Sibelius Reference Guide for de-
    tailed information about what features are (or are not) available in your version of Sibelius.

    Sibelius Reference Guide


    More advanced topics are covered one by one in the Sibelius Reference Guide, which explains every feature in complete detail (with a
    Glossary of special terms). The Reference Guide is not meant to be read from start to finish, because most people only use quite a small
    proportion of music notation anyway. You can browse through relevant parts of the Sibelius Reference Guide at your leisure.

    To open a PDF of the Reference Guide:

     Click the “?” button in the toolbar.


     Choose File > Help > Sibelius Reference.
     Press F1, or Command+/ (Mac) or Control+/ (Windows).

    Commands in the Ribbon


    The main way in which you find commands in Sibelius is in the ribbon, a wide band of command buttons that appear at the top of the
    screen when you click a tab (like File or Home. Each tab describes a related set of commands (Note Input, Notations, Text, Layout, and
    so on.); when you click a tab, the ribbon changes to show the buttons that let you use those commands. Each ribbon tab contains a num-
    ber of groups of related commands.

    As a quick way of describing how to access a particular command, these tutorials use the following format: “choose Home > Instru-
    ments > Add or Remove” means “click the Home tab, look for the Instruments group, and click the Add or Remove button.” The rib-
    bon is explained in greater detail on the following pages.
