What's New in Sibelius | Ultimate 2019:

Keep scores safe in Review mode
With the new Review mode, copyists, engravers, orchestrators, publishers, and teachers can have peace of mind knowing that you can’t accidentally edit a score or move something out of place as you review it.

Navigate scores more easily
With new Go to Bar and Go to Page commands, you can have Sibelius jump to your specified section and immediately start playback without requiring an extra step. You can also move the playback line by simply clicking anywhere in the timeline to have playback immediately start from that point—ideal for quickly hearing and comparing parts to keep your music writing and arranging momentum flowing.

Release Notes:
Review Mode
Review mode is a brand new way to navigate your score without making any unintended changes to text, staff spacing or any other part of the musical notation. You can scroll around the score, free of worry that you may unintentionally move something you didn’t mean to.

ManuScript support
We have added support for enabling and disabling Review Mode using Sibelius’ plugin programming language, ManuScript.

Play and Replay
To help you navigate your score and play back more easily, we’ve added a number of improvements to ‘Go to Page’, ‘Go to Bar’ as well as introduce a new Replay Line. Both ‘Go to Page’ and ‘Go to Bar’ functions, found in Home > Edit > Go To, now move the playback line to the start of the page or bar you go to. This saves several steps afterwards to play back the score from that point. Simply use the shortcuts Cmd+Alt+G/Ctrl+Alt+G to Go to Bar, and Cmd+Shift+G/Ctrl+Shift+G to Go to Page and press Space to start playback.

Half Speed playback
In this release, we’re introducing the ability to play the score back at half-speed.

General bug fixes:
- All dialog pop-up messages now respond on letter input from keyboard to choose Yes, No, Cancel and so on. This fix was only on Windows.

- The correct font variant is being used once more on Mac (e.g. Myriad Semibold became Regular) etc.
- EPS and PICT options have been removed from the ‘Convert Folder of Scores to Graphics’ plugin since they are no longer relevant.

- TIF images are now the correct size when imported into a score.
- Font substitution is working correctly with fonts with extra styles e.g. Optima > ExtraBlack
