Dan,
Glad you're back in contact with us. I'm somewhat excited about Sibelius 7,
but am super glad of the forthcoming scripts for 6. I've been waiting to use
that for a long time, and it will likely be several eternities before I
could make all the necessary upgrades to move into the world of 7.
Thank you for your hard work, sir. You'll never know how valuable it is to
me.
Dale

Subject: [sib-access] Update
Dear all,
Apologies for the recent absence. I?ve been busy moving the music
access site to a new host provider and it?s been causing more problems
than I anticipated; not least of which is the temporary loss of email.
The site has been given something of a makeover. There are still more
changes to make but the new design makes it easy for me to post
frequent updates to the site. There?s already a review of Sibelius 7
and I?ll shortly be posting updates relating to Sibelius Access - it?s
going to be a busy couple of months.
It may take a few days for everyone to be able to reach the new site.
The URL is the same, and UK residents should already have the updated
pages, but it may take a while for the new server details to propagate
overseas.
At the moment I?m in the rather confusing position of emails going to
two different servers, so you?ll have to bear with me whilst I sort
through things, but everything should settle down towards the end of
the week.
Regarding Sibelius 7. As I said, there?s a review on the new site
http://www.musicaccess.co.uk/2011/07/sibelius-7-review/
If you can?t reach the above link, be patient, it should start working soon.
The review covers most of the important points, but I?ll be posting
more information over the next month about how to get around in this
rather different looking Sibelius.
I?d also like to extend my thanks to Steven Penny for fielding
questions, not to mention all the folks at Sibelius for the work
they?ve done on this latest version.
There are a couple of points I?ll address here since some of you may
not be able to reach the new site yet.
There will be a release of Sibelius Access for Sibelius 6 next week.
There are still some users who will need access to this older version,
especially those who are bound by Windows XP, can?t afford the
upgrade, or who can?t persuade those who control their computer
systems to let them upgrade. There?s also the fact that Sibelius 6 is
now extremely accessible, and some of the more advanced features which
have not yet been made accessible in Sibelius 7 will only be available
through the previous version.
I already have some code for Sibelius 7 which I had to write in order
to properly explore the new interface, and I hope to release an
emergency JAWS fix for that version towards the end of the month, but
the full support for Sibelius 7 will not be available until sometime
in September. It?s worth mentioning that Sibelius Access 6 contains a
lot of advanced features for navigating in the score, and a lot of
very detailed descriptions of items not previously supported, and that
these new features were designed with the need to make the upgrade to
Sibelius 7 in mind. There?s also been a lot of work done to ensure
that non-English languages can be more easily supported.
Finally, you should all keep an eye on the music access site because
there will be quite a lot happening over there soon.
Regards,
Dan Rugman
