I also would not be surprised if Avid was already working on a Sibelius 7, designed with Windows 7 in mind. The cosmic serenity of both being the number "7" is just too enticing to avoid. We'll see, won't we?

Do all your composition in Sib 5 and when complete, save. Then launch Sib 6 and open the same file and allow it to make the adjustments. When you're in Sib 6: From the menus choose Layout > optimise staff spacing. This makes Sibelius go through and apply the magnetic layout rules to the staves themselves. This doesn't happen automatically so you have to run the option in the menu. Make sure that Magnetic Layout is checked in the Layout menu, as well. Works just fine.

I bought a copy as soon as it was announced, because of the promise held for us by the magnetic layout. Can we at least have some sort of guestimate? thanks Chris If you wish to unsubscribe, send a blank message with the single word, unsubscribe - in the Subject line to: sib-access-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx If you wish to unsubscribe, send a blank message with the single word, unsubscribe - in the Subject line to: sib-access-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx If you wish to unsubscribe, send a blank message with the single word, unsubscribe - in the Subject line to: sib-access-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx If you wish to unsubscribe, send a blank message with the single word, unsubscribe - in the Subject line to: sib-access-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
