Dear all,
 
the first release candidate for Sibelius Access is now available for
download. Just follow the link below.

This new version should be considerably easier to use than beta 1 but you
may still encounter bugs, in which case, I'd ask that you send a message to
the list so that we can try to replicate the problem and then fix it. Please
remember that this is a release candidate and not an official release.
 
You can read about the changes in RC1 by following the link below.

Some important things to note:
 
1. Laptop keyboard  layouts are now supported. This is a new feature and any
comments will be gratefully received.
2. The information keystrokes (usually involving the F keys) have been
reorganised. This had to be done in order to make room for new features and
to establish a pattern which would be easier to learn. Read the topic
"information keystrokes" for details.
3. The tool window features have been vastly improved. More importantly, you
can now use the properties and parts windows directly by means of standard
navigation keystrokes.
4. The mixer features have been made more reliable.
5. Selecting more than one item has been made much easier and the
announcements which describe these selections have been made far clearer.
6. The verbosity options dialog has been made much easier to use and
filtered text is now dealt with through a separate dialog.
 
Documentation
 
The Sibelius Access Guide has been expanded to cover some of the new
features. It is not complete yet, however the guide will be expanding
rapidly over the next few weeks so keep checking the list and the music
access site for updates.
 
There will be several significant changes made to the music access site over
the next few days, so be sure to keep an eye out.
 
All that remains to be said is download and have fun.
