The Mac version of Sibelius 2, to be released in the first quarter of 2002, is one of the first music applications to be fully 'carbonized' for Mac OS X, taking full advantage of the improvements in the new operating system, such as simpler MIDI setup, a more attractive interface, and better stability. Avid Sibelius 8 for Mac Review Sibelius 8for macOS is one of the best music notation programs for creating all types of music and sounds. Composers, Arrangers, Publishers, Educators, musicians, sounder masters and even students use it for touching the new heights in sound and music development. Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard has a number of internal changes that affect how graphics, such as the various components that constitute the Mixer's appearance, are loaded and appear internally. A technique used by Sibelius 5, Sibelius First and Sibelius Student to.
When Apple released OS X Mavericks (10.9) two weeks ago, Avid noted issues with Sibelius 7 and Mavericks regarding how fonts displayed in dialogs and with ReWire capability. Subsequently, several users reported that Sibelius was performing sluggishly on their Mavericks systems.
While no solutions have yet been announced, Avid’s Sam Butler today has given a status report as well as a workaround for the performance issue:
I’ve been asked by several people for a status update on how Sibelius 7 and Sibelius 7 First are doing on Mavericks.
If you run Sibelius 3 on Mac OS X and have upgraded to the latest version of Scorch (Control-click in a Scorch window to see its version number: the affected version is Version 4.0.1 or later), you need this update. If you don't use Scorch, you don't need this update. Sibelius is a simple ready-to-go music notation program that tries to make a lot of decisions for you and maintain a simple interface. Unfortunately, simple is not always better.

The issues we are tracking are:
- ReWire not sending audio from Sibelius to host
- Font used in dialogs is different (cosmetic only)
- Performance and responsiveness is not great

The workaround for the performance issue, which we’ve confirmed in-house, is to put your computer to sleep then wake it up. We are investigating the cause of this and have logged a bug with Apple.

I’ll post more news when I have it.
It is believed that the cosmetic font issue may be related to the underlying Qt framework in Sibelius not recognizing a subtle system font change in Mavericks from “Lucida Grande” to “Lucida Grande UI”. Theoretically, this affects only one line of code, so hopefully either Avid or Apple will be able solve this and the other issues in due course.
