SibDemo/Read?Me/HowToDemo!
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.

GIVING DEMONSTRATIONS
If you're a computer user, why not spend a few minutes teaching yourself how
to give a good demonstration of Sibelius? Then you can show it to musical
friends and show them how good Sibelius and your Acorn are!
If you're a dealer, you should learn how to give a demonstration of
Sibelius, even if you don't have much (or any) musical knowledge. This will
greatly help you make sales, and give you a better idea of what Sibelius can
do.
Note that there is a more elaborate HowToDemo! file for Sibelius 7 Student
and Sibelius 7, because they can do quite a lot more. See the demo disk or
Disc 3 for those programs.
-------- HOW TO GIVE A BASIC DEMONSTRATION --------
Below is an outline demonstration you can give using these files. This
assumes very little experience of using Sibelius, and you won't have to
know much about music, either!
There are instructions for giving a fuller demo at the end of this file.
The music files used are:
� Narnia: an orchestral score to demonstrate editing, part extraction etc.
� Foo Espres / Foo Plain: for playback, the same file with and without
Espressivo and Swing switched on.
We advise that if you're only giving a basic demonstration you don't try
using Flexi-time, or let the person you're demoing to try either! Details on
how to demo Flexi-time are given later on, under 'How to give a fuller
demonstration'.
EDITING 'NARNIA'
(This is the theme music to a well-known BBC TV children's series, which was
published by Chester Music using Sibelius 7.)
� Load Narnia and move around using the radar at the bottom right: this is
exceptionally fast.
Conclusion: Sibelius is one of the fastest computer programs of any kind
ever written. Unlike most music programs, you never have to wait for the
screen to redraw.
� Try also dragging some notes, staves and lines. This is also extremely
fast, and the program reacts intelligently to whatever you do. If you drag a
note which is beamed to others, the beam will move to follow it, always
staying at exactly the right angle to conform with complicated engraving
rules.
� Select a note and try out the different function keys. Note that the
rhythm keys always add or remove rests to keep the total length of the bar
constant: this make it impossible for you to make a rhythmic mistake. Note
also that Sibelius respaces the notes as you go along, keeping them all
in correct vertical lines
� Select a note, and click Adjust on various staves to copy it around.
The note-length, and any articulation marks or other markings on
the note, are copied. The pitch of the note is determined by where
you point.
This is a very efficient way to input notes with a single click.
Conclusion: Sibelius knows a great deal about music notation - in fact,
more than many musicians! It is fast enough to apply its knowledge instantly
whatever you do.
REFORMATTING
� Choose Rhythm>Bar rest, then click Adjust on one of the barlines on the
first page to insert a bar. Click it a few more times to copy the bar. The
score is instantly reformatted whenever you make any change to it like this,
which may well require the program to rewrite all pages of the score. All of
this is handled instantly.
Conclusion: you can make big insertions and deletions in a score, and the
knock-on effects of these are handled instantly. This is essential for
composing or arranging on the computer.
Other music programs are VERY slow at reformatting like this.
LINES
� Choose a slur from the top left of the Lines menu, or type Ctrl-S as a
shortcut.
� Drag the Select button rightwards from anywhere in the score to draw a
slur, then release.
� You can use Select to move either end of the slur around afterwards. Drag
the middle of the slur around rapidly with Select to change the shape.
Conclusion: just a simple 'point and click' produces a beautifully shaped
slur, which is automatically tapered at the ends and thickened in the
middle.
PART EXTRACTION
Most music programs, unlike Sibelius, only pretend they can extract parts
properly. The process is very slow and produces a messy result which you
have to spend hours checking and correcting.
� Load Narnia again and try extracting any part, e.g. Clarinet (which will
also be transposed). Just select the stave and choose Edit>Extract part.
� Note that the part is completely respaced from scratch, with groups of bar
rests grouped as multirests with a number. Note also that (in the Clarinet
part) rehearsal letter A interrupts the two multirests at the start. So the
program is extremely intelligent and very little editing in the part is
required: just moving a few symbols which may have collided.
� Of course, you can also reformat the part onto a different page and/or
stave size from the original. Choose Score format... from the File menu and
change the stave size to e.g. 6mm, then click on Set. The part is
instantly rewritten for the new format.
� Finally you can adjust the page turns in the part. Select any barline,
such as a barline immediately after a bar rest or multirest, and choose
Edit>Page break.
Conclusion: Many music programs make mistakes when extracting parts, such as
producing poor spacing or ignoring rehearsal marks within multirests. This
makes the part extraction feature almost useless.
With Sibelius, extracting parts and, very importantly, tidying them up is so
fast that the time taken is almost negligible. This alone effectively halves
the time it takes to produce a score with a set of parts.
TRANSPOSING
This is well illustrated by loading the Narnia score again. Then...
� Move into the Edit>Transpose> dialogue box.
� Click on the '2nd' button, and leave the other options set to Up and
Transpose keys.
� Click on OK and, after a warning, the entire score will transpose up a
2nd. Note that slurs also move to follow the notes. Automatic functions
like this are invaluable when composing or arranging music.
NEW SCORE
� Close the score and click on the Sibelius icon on the icon bar to start a
new one.
� Choose several instruments at random from the Instruments menu (clicking
Adjust to keep the menu up for multiple selection) and click Select on the
page. Sibelius sets up a correct score layout for you, with the instruments
in the standard order (which you can change if necessary). The instruments
are joined in groups with the correct brackets at the left hand side, and
also with correct barline grouping.
� If you have MIDI equipment connected it sets up the sounds for you too.
Select each stave in turn to hear the instrument's sound. Put in a few
random notes for each instrument to show how you can compose interactively.
Conclusion: again Sibelius is exceptionally intelligent. All the MIDI sounds
are set up for you too, whereas on most music programs you'd have to type in
weird numbers to set up the sounds yourself.
PLAYBACK
� Load Narnia again and click on the play ('>') button. Try pressing the other
CD buttons as well. It sounds rather mechanical because the computer is
reading the notes literally.
� All the same, the program is intelligent because it reads text like 'mf',
and even phrases in English, French and Italian, such as 'get quieter here'
- not just 'stock' phrases. Other standard symbols like accents (>) are also
read and obeyed.
� Use Expression text to type 'get quieter here' (or any other phrase
containg the word 'quiet') above the Horn stave in bar 2, then play it again,
to the amazement of all.
Conclusion: you don't have to know anything about MIDI to use Sibelius,
because everything is played directly from notation.
You may also want to play some of the other files.
SOUND QUALITY
If you want to demonstrate high-quality sounds (and don't have professional
MIDI equipment), play our demonstration cassette, available free of charge.
This includes music which sounds so good that Sibelius has played it on
television and in concerts.
PRINTING
If you're a dealer, Sibelius Software can supply you with some EXTREMELY
impressive published scores, as well as sample music sheets to give away.
These are good enough to persuade anybody. Please contact us for some.
Please don't restrict yourself to what your own printer is capable of.
With a fully-working (not demo) copy of Sibelius, you can demonstrate
printing yourself.
-------- HOW TO GIVE A FULLER DEMONSTRATION --------
If you're familiar with Sibelius, it works well if you do a fuller
demonstration like this. You will need a MIDI keyboard and ideally also a
good General MIDI compatible sound module or sound card.
In advance, try out a suitable piece to ensure it will work well, and work
out what you're going to add to it.
� Use Flexi-time to play in about 20 bars of a suitable fairly simple piano
piece. Use Molto rubato, and vary the speed while you play to show that
Flexi-time can follow you
� Add a metronome mark if necessary
� Play it back to show that the speed variations have been smoothed out
� Add another instrument to the piano and use step-time to play in a
simple counter-melody (e.g. in semiquavers). Play it back again
� Add another instrument and use step-time to play in a further simple
counter-melody (e.g. in crotchets) to fill out the harmony. Play a few bars
back again
� Add a whole lot more instruments at once to make an orchestra. Include
some pitched & unpitched percussion (e.g. Timpani and Cymbals)
� Copy passages from the existing music into the new instruments,
transposing up or down an octave where necessary
� Add a few percussion notes
� Play it all back again
� Add some dynamics, phrase-marks and a title
� Play a few bars back again
� Save the file
� If you have a fully-working copy of Sibelius, print out the first page
� Extract a part from the score - preferably a transposing instrument
� Point out that the music has transposed (if it has), that all relevant
markings including the title and metronome mark have been included, bar
rests have been collected together into multirests, and the music has all
been reformatted tidily
� Insert a page break somewhere to show how you can put convenient
page-turns in. (As the part will be much less than a page, it will make more
sense if you close this part and extract one from a much longer score to
illustrate this point.)
� Finish by playing Narnia (or our demonstration cassette) to show more
elaborate playback.
We advise that you discourage the person you're demoing to from trying out
Flexi-time themselves, as on first using it musicians often try to play
complicated pieces without regard for the metronome or split note. If they
insist on trying Flexi-time, get them to start with something simple first
until they get the idea.
