While many aspects of the fonts work in earlier Sibelius versions, the brilliant angled slash chord (ASC) feature invented by Bernie Cossentino - and exclusively available in these fonts - will only work in Sibelius 2018.11 and later, and for best results it is highly recommended to use Sibelius 2019.5 or later. One question I field a lot is the compatibility of the increasingly-popular Norfolk and Pori fonts for Sibelius, available from Notation Central, our marketplace for music notation technology. Maybe the latest features don’t seem interesting, or you’re in the middle of a project and don’t want to tempt fate by updating.Įventually, though Sibelius will either stop working or you’ll find you need to update for one reason or another. It’s easy to keep on using a familiar version that doesn’t cost anything more to use. If you are Sibelius user in a similar position and are finding yourself still using Sibelius 6, 7, or 7.5, or a perpetual license with an expired support plan for Sibelius 8.x or any of the Sibelius Ultimate versions prior to 2020.3, I understand the conundrum. Whether it’s due to people spending more time at home with the software, or just the steady progress of technology causing users to address this, it’s a reality that computers and computer software is never frozen in time. Updated on April 29: Studiocare has also run through its remaining stock.Įven more than usual, I’ve been receiving a lot of questions recently from readers and colleagues asking about the compatibility of older Sibelius versions with computer operating systems and other software, and my recommendation for updating. Updated on April 28: It appears that Sweetwater has run through their remaining stock of expired plan updates (possibly due to the interest generated by the publication of this post).
