Sibelius | Ultimate enables you to create music without any boundaries. Sibelius is the middle tier, enabling you to create music for up to 16 staves, with a subset of features to mark up your score. Sibelius | First is free to everyone and includes the basic feature set, enabling you to write music for up to four staves.

Like on desktop, there are three tiers of Sibelius in the app too. It also covers how to log in with your existing Sibelius license to unlock additional features (on par with your desktop software) or buy a new subscription in-app. It covers everything you need to become familiar with the app, from navigating around to the important topic of note entry. We wanted new and existing users to become familiar with the app quickly, so when you first run the app, you're greeted with a Getting Started guide that takes you through the main ways of interacting with your music. The new touch gestures and Apple Pencil support open up a whole new world for music creation and editing. Getting around the score, selecting objects, and entering notes using the mouse and keyboard (if you have them connected) will make you feel right at home. Command Search is there (which we introduced in Sibelius 2021.2) and, of course, the iconic Sibelius Keypad came along with a new lick of paint. Those familiar with Sibelius on desktop will recognize the galleries to add musical objects to the score. It also means that any changes we make to the modern core notation engine will be shared across the desktop software, our cloud engine, and now the mobile app. This means all your scores you create and edit will happily and natively go between desktop and iPad without any conversion process. We've actually extended the Sibelius project to reach Windows, Mac, cloud, and now iPad. It's not a special render of the score, nor a unique one-time product that'll need to be re-written in years to come to incorporate changes we make in Sibelius on desktop.

This is a historic milestone for the Sibelius team and the product, and we can't be more excited about it! The remarkable thing about Sibelius for mobile is that it really is Sibelius running on an iPad. We appreciate you may be just as excited as we are, so please go ahead and download the app and come back here when you're ready… Sibelius for mobile joins the family of Sibelius products and solutions across desktop, cloud, and web. Built on the award-winning Sibelius desktop application, this free app for iPad packs in many of the same features and workflows of its big brother, plus brings along with it new innovative ways to interact with the touch interface and Apple Pencil. Welcome to Sibelius for mobile-a new revolutionary way to create and edit music on the go.
