Watch how Tim Davies has brought his work from Finale to Sibelius, and then super-charged it with ManuScript plugins.

[Sam Butler @avid_sam]

@plumduff69 @finaleofficial @AvidSibelius Not from us, sorry.

[Sam Butler @avid_sam]

Ooh, it's only Tim Davies talking to TJ for an hour about how he happily switched from @finaleofficial to @AvidSibelius!

Enjoy!

@MatthewHindson @AvidSibelius It just works. This dedicated version only works in Sibelius when licensed via the Sibelius License Server.

Simply install the special installer and Sibelius will pick it up just like regular NotePerformer. It's the same sample engine and sounds as the regular one too.

[Sam Butler @avid_sam]

Together with the 2026.6 releases, all schools with a Network license of @AvidSibelius now get NotePerformer for FREE! Get it in your account at https://t.co/GX2nPoA7zl.

If you're on a Mac younger than 7 years old, you're good to upgrade to Sonoma or later, and macOS will be able to pick up the new certs automatically. If you can't uprgade from Ventura or earlier, you'll need the patch (link above) 👆

[Sam Butler @avid_sam]

If you are on an older version of macOS that Apple no longer supports (Ventura and earlier), you may find Avid Link is unable to sync. We've created this patch to get you back up and running:
