This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

SIBELIUS 7 DEMO VERSION (c) Copyright Sibelius Software 1993/4

Introduction
Installing
Some of its features
Sibelius 6
---------INTRODUCTION
Sibelius 7 is an expert system for processing music - that is, inputting
music using a MIDI keyboard or mouse, editing it as music notation and then
playing it back through the computer's speaker or MIDI, or printing it out.
It's a complete tool for composing or arranging music straight onto computer
and is now used by some of the world's best-known composers. Perhaps its
most spectacular success to date has been in the music publishing industry,
where one would normally expect to find only Apple Macs and IBM PCs. But
because Sibelius 7 for once knocks spots off anything available on other
computers (read the Reviews file if you don't believe it), these
professionals are drawn to invest in Acorns instead. But of course, printing
music is just one aspect of what Sibelius 7 does.
This demo version is complete except that the following features have been disabled:
MIDI input and output
Printing
Saving
Exporting Draw files
If you want some spectacular printouts, phone Ben Finn at Sibelius Software
on 0223 302765. You could also come and see it in action - we hold regular
demonstrations in Cambridge and London, mostly for professional musicians
whose eyes pop out on stalks at the Acorn's capabilities.
We're also exhibiting at the Harrogate show in April, on stand 23.
Please feel free to make copies of this demo and give them to anyone; but
please make sure you include all the associated files too (fonts, scores
etc).
---------INSTALLING
FONTS
You will need to install the OpusII fonts in order to use the program. You
are assumed to have the Trinity font family already as a default:
* Open the directory window containing your own !Fonts. (It will be on one
of your Applications disks, or on your hard disk if you have one.)
* Drag the new !Fonts on this demo disk into the directory window containing
your existing !Fonts. The new fonts will be added to your existing fonts.
* Double-click on your own !Fonts.
FUNCTION KEY STRIP
Sibelius 7 makes a lot of use of the function keys for speed, so you have to
print a key strip. Once you have installed the OpusII fonts (above):
* Load a printer driver for your printer
* Start !Draw
* Double-click on Key Strip
* Print it.
---------SOME OF ITS FEATURES
Sibelius 7 is an 'expert system' in that it understands and continuously
applies hundreds of rules of music notation and positioning normally known
only to a handful of experts. Many of these rules are mysterious and are not
to be found in any book. The rules are continuously applied by the
program in the background - you just input the notes, whether from keyboard
or with the mouse, and Sibelius 7 will apply its expertise as it goes along.
Nevertheless, most of the rules can be overridden by the user if required.
Sibelius 7 can do many things not explained below; for instance:
* You can extract separate instrumental parts from a score which need
virtually no 'tidying up' afterwards
* You can change the size and shape of your score and it will reformat
instantly to fit the new pages - this is very useful for creating
separate conductor's scores and miniature scores of the same music
* You can have up to 128 staves per page
* The program does not slow down no matter how many pages of music
there are
* You can export music as DrawFile graphics for incorporation into other
documents, and can also transfer music to the Apple Mac and IBM PC
* You can define your own 'house styles' so that all your scores have
a uniform appearance, or use different house styles for different
types of score
...and many other things, including full support for percussion staves,
complex irrational rhythms, user-definable instruments, many formats for
rehearsal marks, time signatures, bar numbers and page numbers, automatic
splitting and rejoining of slurs and trills etc between systems, automatic
splitting of barlines and section brackets between instruments, rulers, and
lots of other features too numerous to mention here.
The program was written entirely in assembly language to be extremely fast,
and uses its own top-speed versions of many operating system routines.
---------SIBELIUS 6
Sibelius Software recently released a cut-down version of Sibelius 7, called
Sibelius 6. This is aimed at people doing fairly modest things with music,
or (in schools) at students up to GCSE level. Sibelius 6 is to Sibelius 7
what Junior Impression is to Impression Publisher - you can do simple things
pretty well, but more complicated situations can become very cumbersome or
even impossible to cope with.
Read the 'Sib 7 vs 6' file in the Info directory to find out more about what
the differences are.
This disk can give barely a taste of what this program can do in its
entirety. For further details, some spectacular printouts or a personal
demonstration, phone Ben Finn at Sibelius Software on 0223 302765.
