The Sibelius sound set you are using is a product of countless hours of trial, error, research, and development working towards an integration that not only provides deep functionality, but does so in an intuitive, easy-to-use, and flexible way that meets the diverse needs and workflows of our users. With each integration we aim to provide you a powerful and efficient way of using today’s sampled sounds within a notation-based composing environment, with as little extraneous markup as possible, allowing you to focus and spend more time on your music and less on the technical challenges this medium presents. We are committed to continually evaluating and improving our integrations, and it’s through the support of users like you that we are not only able to create new integra- tions, but refine and expand our existing integrations to better serve your needs. As these products evolve we will release updates, often for free, that feature new func- tionality and address users concerns, requests, or other issues. We encourage you to periodically check our website or subscribe to our newsletter so you can be certain you have the best and most recent integration available. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions, please contact us using the information found at the end of this user manual. Your feedback helps shape the integrations you use by providing invaluable insight into working methods, prefer- ences, computer environments, and more. The more you share with us, the more we can do for you. We sincerely hope that you enjoy working with this Sibelius sound set and wish you the best in all of your musical endeavours. —The Sound Set Project
