Avid’s Sam Butler says that “Sibelius does this best when exporting to 8.1-8.5 but some shift may occur when exporting to 8.0 and earlier.”Īnother fix in 8.6.1 is that playback of guitar slides now respond appropriately to their setting in the Inspector and the Home > Instruments > Edit Instruments > Edit Instrument… dialog, just as other magnetic glissandi lines do. This works because these values only affect magnetic glissandi lines, so any non-magnetic lines will be left alone.Ī related improvement: The positions of magnetic glissandi lines are more accurately retained, as regular lines, when exporting 8.6.1 files to earlier versions. Instead, here’s how to make that adjustment: Make a selection, use Home > Select > Advanced Filter > Lines to filter the Line style (that is, the line actually called Line), and then open the Inspector to set the LX, RX, LY and RY values in the Lines section of the Inspector to 0. If you are in this particular scenario, don’t globally reset the positions of all lines, because that will affect non-magnetic lines as well.

However, it should be noted that if old scores were opened and saved in 8.6.0, the slides will continue to be offset incorrectly. This was first reported and documented by Bob Zawalich on the Sibelius chat page shortly after the update. With respect to magnetic glissandi lines, the most notable improvement in Sibelius 8.6.1 is that the positions of slides that were manually adjusted in an earlier version prior to 8.6.0 are retained when opening those files in 8.6.1 (specifically the LX, RX, and LY values in the Lines section of the Inspector). Previously, for licensing reasons, it was only included in the main Sibelius product.Ī new version of Avid Scorch for iOS is available today as well, which includes compatibility with files created in Sibelius and Sibelius First 8.6.1, as well as improvements to playing back to connected external MIDI devices. One notable improvement there is that Sibelius First now includes MP3 export. Sibelius First 8.6.1 was also released today, inheriting improvements to note spacing and the new magnetic glissandi lines introduced in 8.6. In addition, a number of third-party plug-ins from Bob Zawalich have been updated to work with magnetic glissandi lines in Sibelius 8.6 and higher. The 8.6.1 update further refines that feature and addresses some bugs brought about from earlier updates.

Avid today released Sibelius 8.6.1, a maintenance update coming on the heels of the Sibelius 8.6 update that introduced magnetic glissandi lines for the first time in the program.
