very useful

Not perfect but gets the job done

Annoying

Used for two minutes before I got fed up of the advert popping up every 30 seconds. Shame as otherwise it’s a brilliant idea and would have made my working method much more slick

Response from developer

There is an easy solution for that, purchase Premium features, and get rid of the ads.

Sehr gut und praktisch

Tolle App! Da ich Sibelius Ultimate nicht nur am Mac sondern auch auf einem iPad Pro 12,9‘ nutze, wäre es doch eventuell auch interessant, diese App z.B. auf einem iPhone benutzen zu können, um damit speziell Sibelius auf dem iPad damit bedienen zu können.

I really like it but have one issue…

I really like the app and it works well. The only issue I have is with the accent symbol key (also affects the grace note key and others) - it does not seem to function at all - I use Sib 7.5 on a PC. That aside, it works really well.
