Hello Stefan and welcome,
1, Sibelius can certainly provide just about any scoring need.
2, I believe Sibelius comes with some scanning software, but be aware that
music OCR is just as prone to error as literary.
Re your other questions:
1, Sibelius Access Jaws scripts work with current versions of Jaws versions 9
and up. It is not necessary to use older versions of Jaws, they will not work.
2, We are currently using Sibelius version 5.25, but a new release of Sibelius
Access scripts is right around the corner which will work with Sibelius 6.
It is my understanding that, if you purchase Sibelius 6, you be able to
download version 5 and the necessary update patches, but someone else will have
to address this for you, as I am not familiar with the process.
3, I personally think that the student should read the documentation and learn
to work Sibelius that way. Perhaps, between the student's knowledge of music,
and the instructor's knowledge of computers and software some success is to be
had. Sibelius Access includes some specific instruction pertaining to how it
works with Sibelius, and folks on this list are available to help.
4, Audio tutorials for Sibelius Access? I am not aware of any.
Hope this helps some.
Regards,
John Sanfilippo

Hi everyone,
I am a totally blind adaptive technology trainer and musically illiterate,
that is, I love music but can't compose or fully understand its terminology.
I have a client who is nearly totally blind who wishes to accomplish the
following:
1. Compose fairly simple music pieces for piano and violin students they
have by typing these onto computer using Jaws.
2. Scan and modifying existing music scores not exceeding 3 to 4 parts in
complexity, again for piano and violin or a combination.
My adaptive tech supervisor tells me that Sibelius 6 is visually a more
straightforward and appealing notation software program than ... the other
one which Jaws supports.
My questions for clarification:
First, so do I need to have my client download and use Jaws version 6 so as
to run Sibelius Access?
Second, will the current version of Sibelius Access support Sibelius 6 or
only 5.25?
If only 5.25 how do I get a copy of it?
Third, can a non-musically aware person teach what I've outlined the client
needs to know or will the client need to teach themselves?
With Sibelius Speaking, there were mp3s is there any similar stuff
available?
Regards to all;
Stefan Slucki.
