If you’re installing Sibelius for the first time, you’ll install a single application. Which one runs will depend upon the license you have activated. As of today, there’s now a single application called “Sibelius” that is capable of running any of the tiers. Until today, if you bought a license to separate tiers of Sibelius products, each one came with a separate installer and ran as its own application with the features based on the tier you had installed. While the 2018.6 release is mostly geared toward unifying the different Sibelius tiers into one installer and the availability of the free tier for the first time, a few improvements made their way into this release in the areas of note spacing, grace notes, multi-text entry, tied notes, and more. This is part of a process that dates back several years to have all levels of Sibelius share the same codebase instead of running as separate programs with different features. Today’s release makes good on the last part of that announcement by making that free tier available, and combining all three tiers into one installer. That strategy brought Sibelius in line with Avid’s other products by calling the pro tier “Sibelius Ultimate” (formerly “Sibelius”) and the student/amateur tier “Sibelius” (formerly “Sibelius First”), while announcing a third, free version to be called “Sibelius First”. This release focuses on realizing at a technical level the product re-branding strategy first introduced in April. Today Avid released Sibelius 2018.6, the latest version of its notation software.
