New post! The Avid Sibelius plug-in Create Tuplets Different Units automates the entire process of creating a tuplet where the "numerator" and "denominator" do not share an equivalent unit, such as two quarter notes in the space of three eighth notes.

Hands-on with the Xkey 37, an excellent addition to CME's lineup of slim, portable, and sophisticated MIDI keyboards that work well with music software on tablets and PCs.

Notation Express — the custom profile for the Stream Deck console that makes powerful notation features in Sibelius and Dorico easy and fun to use — can also be used on the Stream Deck mobile app.

How I wish Avid would call the mid-tier flavor of "Sibelius" something else to differentiate it from the overall product line, which is also called "Sibelius".

New post! All this month, we're featuring fonts and the people who make them. In this post, we interview jazz musician Nor Eddine Bahha, whose passion for typography led to the creation of his music and text fonts, available at Notation Central.

Measure twice, cut once… it's all about technique ;-)

In Sibelius it’s technically impossible to center a group name between two staves and also individually name each staff. Here's a clever workaround to the problem, along with a video tutorial explaining the concept.

In version 3, Dorico comes equipped with a dedicated tool to help create correct and beautifully rendered harp pedal diagrams. It has options for graphic diagrams, diagrams using note names, and partial pedal changes.

New post! It sounds so simple, right? Two quarter notes in the space of three eighth notes. Except… there's a bit more to it in Avid Sibelius and Dorico.
