Sounds great! I, for one, will be very interested in your experience, since
I'm also using Windows 7, 64-bit.

Hello all,
I think these are good news that people who develop sibelius are trying to
make it more accessible.
A pitty that other folks seems not interested in this at all.
I'll give Sibleius 7 a chance in the next weeks.
I'm runing Windows 7 64 Bit, JAWS 12 and I will see what I can do with
Sibelius 7 out of the box.
Bye,
Chris
