Actually there is an application called
StarPlay. http://www.starplaymusic.com/index.php . It is a similar
practice/assessment aid but lacks Smartmusic's ability to adjust tempo
to the the student. It doesn't have the extensive content that
SmartMusic does, but it has a video component that can be very nice,
works great with Sibelius, and has a very clean interface. It's worth a
look.
It also has the advantage of being free. You pay only for content. And,
unlike Smartmusic, you don't have to pay to use your own stuff. It's
worth a look.

But Sibelius does not work with Smartmusic. And they do not offer
anything like it.......as far as I know.
Back on topic...makemusic did increase the price of a Smartmusic
subscription, but as the library of songs keeps going, it is totally
worth it (even though it has a klunky interface).
But I did try some Smartmusic exercises I made back in Finale 2006 and
they open in smartmusic 11
