In response to user concerns, Avid Audio Vice President Martin Kloiber said the company wanted to “integrate Sibelius development more closely with the rest of Avid’s audio development teams in California”. However, a year later Avid closed the UK office where Sibelius was developed, causing a great deal of alarm at the time - not least because the then-current development team would not be a part of the company’s plans for the future. The release of Sibelius 7 in 2011 returned the program to its original nomenclature (from the early ‘90s when it ran only on Acorn’s RISC OS) and introduced a brand-new user interface. It would be fair to say that Sibelius has gone through quite a period of change since this magazine last reviewed version 6 in the December 2009 issue. Is this much-loved notation package still in safe hands? The first new release of Sibelius in three years comes from the program’s relocated home in California.
