Top Sibelius Tips YOU Should Know! [In-Depth Tutorial]

[@gavinfraser5784]

Very nicely done intro to Sibelius - and you are very easy to listen to. Congrats on winning the competition - hopefully the performance will happen soon.

[@lyndaharman2284]

Thank you for this! Finally I found a practical tutorial for what I am need to do. Looking forward to watching all of your videos!

[@matthewcline8580]

great video. Also love that you used Mahler 1 as the background music!!

[@NikolaiMusicChannel]

Nice tutorial :-) Covered the most bread and butter functions to get started with this beast of a notation program, well done!

[@CarlosLalonde]

Thanks a lot for this thoughtful comment!

[@sydneyalberg8177]

Thank you for refreshing me a little. I worked and composed with Sibelius 10 years ago and this run through has helped tremendously to get back into the groove, I'll be back after I start working with the program. I'm sure questions will come up at some point. Excellent job!!!!

[@CarlosLalonde]

No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@NateHendrix]

Dope channel dude! Your content has been very helpful!

Don't know if your are still searching, but it is ctrl+3

[@romeubarillari-portifosmus6972]

Hello. Ok? So... One question, please. Which VST libraries does Sibelius support? Does Sibelius allow for more than one or several different VST libraries in a single score? E.g. Noteperformer or Vienna for Orchestra instruments, Kontakt for guitar with pedalboard effects, UVI world suite and JADE Ethnic Percussion for ethnic instruments. Is there a possibility to use them in the same edition at the same time? Awaiting return. Thank you very much for your attention. Success on the channel! tmj 👊👍👏🙂

[@CarlosLalonde]

Sorry for the late reply, but I don't use VSTs so I have no expertise in answering your question. Perhaps you could turn to the Avid Sibelius Power Users on Facebook since they are a community well-versed in all things Sibelius.

[@romeubarillari-portifosmus6972]

@@CarlosLalonde Ok thanks. Thanks for indication.

[@ollie9222]

Dude I got a keystation Midi but I am not able to make it work. First, I can‘t hear the metronome / click. Presumably because it might be on the wrong channel (it is set on channel 12 right now). But how do I switch the channel? Second, is it true that I can only record the notes that are pre set? So, let‘s say if I want to record quarters and eights in the same go, would not be possible? Thanks so much for your help… the internet couldn‘t help me.

Well done! Thanks!

finale를 쓰다가 Sibelius로 바꾸어서 많이 혼란스럽습니다 덕분에 많이 배웠어요 자세한 해설 넘 감사합니다 마지막에 들려주신 fanfare 넘 좋은데요? :) 영상 도움이 많이 되었습니다 응원합니다!

[@cristianzarate4635]

Cool, thank you from far Chile.

[@ecpi.x]

So clean! What "house style" did you use? Or did you purchase a template?

[@CarlosLalonde]

I'm pretty sure that was a default house style, but I now purchase all the new ones from Notation Central: www.notationcentral.com/product-category/fonts/music-fonts/ I just love the traditional publishing style from the past century and beyond and I want to replicate that old-fashioned feel to my scores.

[@NelsonRiverosMusic]

Thank you for the tips. Do you know the Font Jazz score? Its a text used in a lot of Jazz lead sheets and scores. Thank you

[@sheddybhulji8196]

Thanks for the video...question...how to jump to a point in a long composition without having to zoom and search.

[@CarlosLalonde]

Many programs allow you to jump to a certain bar number which is very useful

[@jenkaiyou9811]

Great video!!! keep working!!

[@finnheine5045]

Fantastic Tutorial, thanks a lot!!!! :)))

[@CarlosLalonde]

Glad it helped!

[@jimipecintamusik2387]

The amount of cybelius you used.?

[@jg353d]

Thanks this was really useful. Now that you have switched to dorico, could you do a similar in-depth tutorial for that?

[@CarlosLalonde]

Oooo good idea. I'm not as fluent as some pro-level Dorico users are, but I can sure try!

[@MaaikeGirardin]

Hi Carlos, I cannot unblock the Sibelius First. Could you tell me how to find the way to log in? I logged in on the Avid website, but I cannot install Avid Link in the Apple appstore, it's not there. What can I do?

[@CarlosLalonde]

I suggest reaching out to the Avid Sibelius Users Facebook Group. They can help you with just about anything related to things like this: facebook.com/groups/sibeliussoftwareforum

[@OtherPony]

Thank you, Legend!

[@FashionGirl723]

How i can have just one line instead of 5. And add question mark on top of note? Thats for persian percussion. Tnx

[@CarlosLalonde]

Change the instrument to "Percussion with 1 Line". You can simply type control/command T to add text and drag it anywhere.

[@FashionGirl723]

@@CarlosLalonde you are the best

[@FashionGirl723]

@@CarlosLalonde I download ed the free verion and i was not able to add notes. Is that the way it is? Meaning i have to buy it to be able to add notes ?

[@CarlosLalonde]

Type "N" and click on the staff to properly input notes. The free version allows you to input them of course.

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Note Performer is a giveaway for what it can do! 😎

[@jayanderson8563]

How about drums?

[@CarlosLalonde]

Drum notation is a different beast altogether so I didn't cover them in this beginner tutorial, but there are good tutorials on KZbin, but I might make a follow up video explaining it too.

[@laurenlofton9039]

I love how both Sans and Papyrus have a font.

[@CarlosLalonde]

Papyrus is the best. 2nd Place, Comic Sans.

[@Anvilshock]

Quit Sibelius, Sibelius crashed.
