Sibelius

Overview: Sibelius is a music notation program that allows you to create sheet music, from a simple chord sheet to a full orchestral score. You can enter music into the program either by using the piano keyboard, computer keyboard, or scanner (with existing sheet music).  There is a Sibelius work station on the third floor of the Davis Family Library near the M1500's (call number).
