Avid updates Sibelius Music Notation Software to v8.7 - Cloud Sharing now available

Avid has announced the availability of Sibelius | Cloud Sharing. The new Version 8.7 software update for Sibelius, the music composition and notation software, delivers enhancements to Sibelius and Sibelius | First, including Sibelius | Cloud Sharing, a new way to share music online.

Sibelius | Cloud Sharing enables users to share scores directly from Sibelius to their own personal cloud space, post them on social media sites or embed them in web pages. Users also have the ability to invite others to view and playback compositions using any computer, laptop, or mobile device from anywhere in the world—whether in the studio, classroom or on a sound stage.

Scores are hosted on Avid's cloud services powered by MediaCentral, the tightly integrated platform designed for media. Any changes made to the score can be dynamically pushed to the cloud, automatically updating the content online—all directly from the Sibelius application.

"The new version of Sibelius is part of Avid's commitment to providing the most comprehensive tools and workflow solutions that make the entire music writing, collaboration and delivery experience easier than ever," said Dana Ruzicka, vice president and chief product officer at Avid. "Sibelius | Cloud Sharing gives Avid's preeminent user community of composers, educators and music bloggers a revolutionary way to share their content with the world."
