No one will have to wait until 7.5 comes Sibelius: Important information about the new version of Sibelius 7 Each version entitled from the date of announcement (01/23/2014) to a free upgrade.

This is especially true for Sibelius 7 Academic Student who get assured with this version four years of free upgrades (this bonus runs out).

Not a free upgrade though Andy. Shame, after all the bad feeling when they let go the guru of Sibelius and the rest of the team.

Not sure if it would be worth it for me. I was hoping for better sounds but then I am quite happy now with my Note Performer and their free updates.

Hi Kevin,

this is strange... here is the email I got from M3C:

Gute Nachrichten von AVID auf der NAMM Show in Los Angeles: Sibelius 7.5 wurde heute offiziell angekündigt. Die neue Version wird Ende Februar / Anfang März ausgeliefert. Darüber und über die kommenden Updates/Upgrades informieren wir Sie in Kürze.

Wichtige Informationen zur neuen Version: Niemand muss warten bis Sibelius 7.5 ausgeliefert wird: Jede Sibelius 7 Version berechtigt ab Datum der Ankündigung (23.1.2014) zu einem kostenlosen Upgrade. Es wird sogar günstiger sein, jetzt noch eine Sibelius 7 Version zu erwerben. Das gilt insbesondere für Sibelius 7 Academic Student, die mit dieser Version noch vier Jahre kostenlose Upgrades zugesichert bekommen (dieser Bonus läuft aus!).

Wir freuen uns mit Ihnen, dass Sibelius einen wichtigen und guten Schritt nach vorne macht, gerade nach vielen Unsicherheiten in der Vergangenheit.

Bis in Kürze mit besten Grüße aus Berlin bzw. aus Los Angeles
Ihr M3C / Sibelius Vertrieb

Okay... Today I ordered the upgrade as a boxed version. 88,-€ but if the new features work as promised it is worth the money (for me)

I am especially looking forward to see the improved rewire and the video-export. This could be a great step forward when creating demo-videos on YouTube.

Has anyone else ordered the upgrade or is planning to get it?

I have not yet ordered the upgrade but I am planning on getting the upgrade even though it will be the first upgrade since version 3.0 that I will have to pay for.

There are some annoying issues/bugs in the new version. The video-export works fine it is out of sync. The audio-export is only in real-time at the moment which means one will have to wait the full length of a piece.

They told us this is no. 1 priority on their list.

lets see...

None of which I either use or am bothered by.

ja... I was heading for the video-feature to create DEMOs for KS. But now I have to wait for the Sib 7.5.1
