Changelog – Sibelius
The experience of connecting the Stream Deck (or the Stream Deck Mobile app) to Sibelius is improved.

Completely rebuilt for Sibelius 2024.3
- Reclaim your shortcuts – You can now reclaim all of the keyboard shortcuts for your own use, as you like, without them being reserved by Notation Express
- Cross-platform support – One Notation Express profile works for both Mac and Windows, so you can use the same profile on both operating systems (no need to purchase separate versions)
- Multi-language support – Notation Express is now supported in all languages, so you don’t need to switch to English to use it in Sibelius (the icon labels will still only be in English, for now)
- Faster – The direct connection to Sibelius makes Notation Express significantly more responsive, because it passes commands directly to Sibelius instead of invoking a series of macros that may involve opening and typing into a popover, for example
- Control Sibelius in the background – The direct connection to Sibelius means that you can use your Stream Deck to control Sibelius even when another application is running in the foreground

License
Can I use Notation Express on more than one computer?
Yes! A purchase entitles one person (you) to use it on one computer at a time, on as many computers that you personally use. Unless you have extra limbs, that should suffice nicely.
Can I use Notation Express on both the Stream Deck console and the iOS app?
Yes! Your purchase entitles you to use Notation Express on both devices. You must purchase the Stream Deck console and subscribe to the Stream Deck Mobile app separately.
Can my buddy who shares my computer use Notation Express?
No! Well, there’s no way to technically prevent it. But please ask your buddy to purchase his own copy.
My buddy wants to use my copy of Notation Express. Can I send it to him?
No! He should purchase his own copy. Let’s all be buddies!
Can I change the default Notation Express profile — move icons around, add my own shortcuts, actions, etc.?
Yes! That’s the beauty of it — it’s totally customizable for your own use. You can always re-import the default Notation Express profile again.
So, once I do that, can I send that profile to my buddy?
No! Please don’t share any profile derived from the Notation Express profile, or any shortcut/key command preference file derived from the one included with Notation Express, unless your buddy has already purchased Notation Express, too — then it’s OK.
I have Notation Express for Sibelius/Dorico already. Can I get Notation Express for Sibelius/Dorico too?
Notation Express for Sibelius Ultimate and Notation Express for Dorico Pro work very similarly in many respects, but “under-the-hood” they are quite different products (just like Sibelius Ultimate and Dorico Pro are different products) and must be purchased separately.
