Hi everybody,
I know it’s off-topic but I wanted to share the news because, let’s be
honest, nobody in their right mind would want to miss it:
Yes! It’s finally here! The latest and brightest version of Sibelius
is out… *And* it offers one particularly exciting, exclusive new
feature:

Seriously guys, how cool is that??
I especially like how they show Dorico's approach which is to add LV
directly as an item whereas Sibelius requires two actions: create a tie
and then convert the tie to LV. Mind you, since an LV looks similar to
a tie, I can easily see the technical justification for their design;
but semantically, LV does not mean the same thing as a tie. So what do
you do when you need an LV when there is no subsequent note to which to
tie? Do you have to create an invisible note, add a tie, and then
convert to LV? Or does Sibelius already allow you to have dangling
ties, and this feature is just shortening the visual extent?
