Hi folks, I just want to second your observations about this matter. I'm expectaing to have to teach college students to use sibelius, and with the difference in video settings required between Sonar and Sibelius, I'm more than a little concerned.

Its getting increasingly more difficult to buy copies of software that's well over a year out of date. Moreover, most copiests and other composers are using Sibelius 4 now, which is at times a problem for those of us who have to write large amounts of complex music to a tight deadline. Fortunately, I have a copiest who is happy to keep Sibelius 3 on her system. I would also point out that it is difficult for educators to have to keep using two different versions of the same software, which are not identical. Sibelius 4 also has some new features which I for one would like to get at. If new scripts are on the way then it would be very useful to have at least an approximate release date, and if it has been decided not to develop the Sibelius scripts any further, then we should be informed. It seams to me that all the focus has been on Sonar in recent years. In the last few months we have had releases of CT5 and I am lead to believe that 6 is nearing completion but there has been no open discussion of the state of Sibelius and to be frank, this is causing a problem.
