Sibelius Standard - Perpetual License
The Sibelius software by Avid is a program that allows you to compose simple/moderate music with up to 16 staves with 300 library ideas, with the ability to capture your own ideas. With the Perpetual licence if you buy it once and own the software forever. Sibelius has support for up to 16 instrument parts (staves), you can create rich, multilayered compositions. But it’s not just about notes. Add chord symbols and guitar chord diagrams by simply playing a chord on a MIDI device or typing suffix elements. Turn guitar tab into notation and back again. And easily add lyrics, titles, text, and graphics to round out your score.
