Update: Avid Sibelius v2024.3 – New MIDI Workflow, Resizable Keypad and More

Avid has released a new version of Sibelius that adds a new MIDI workflow, a resizable keypad, Sibelius Connect for better workflow automation and more.

What’s new in Sibelius v2024.3?

• MIDI workflow breakthrough: Seamlessly copy and paste MIDI data between Sibelius and Pro Tools
• The Keypad is resizable, enhancing visibility and usability, especially when working on a separate display
• Introducing Sibelius Connect, a powerful tool for workflow automation
• Custom articulations are now displayed on the fourth Keypad layout
• Other Smaller Improvements
  • Key Signature changes are now imported when opening a MIDI file
  • Sibelius no longer adds an extra blank bar when importing a MIDI file
  • In addition to the ability to resize the Keypad, we’ve tweaked the colors, allowing the buttons to stand out more prominently.
  • The changes to the Keypad continue to support our accessibility improvements. As you’ve come to expect, the tooltips of the custom articulations match the symbols’ name and will read it out when using a screen reader.
  • The Keypad also now shows the correct accidental for notes that are on transposed instruments.
  • The Keypad could, in rare cases, disappear. But now it should no longer wonder off.
  • Tremolo marking is now retained when using the Chord tool on the Keypad, then undoing.
  • Japanese translations have been improved in a number of places in the app.
  • Adding Special Page Breaks at the beginning of a score is now consistent when selecting the initial barline or the page break layout mark.
  • Doing “Reset all note spacing” now accounts for accidentals.
  • We’ve updated to the latest version of Qt5, so the engine continues to purr along.
