This is the first time any application has built-in algorithms to avoid rest collisions and support for intelligent positioning of rests. Write music quickly and easily with Sibelius - the worlds best-selling music notation software. Check out the before and after examples below. Not only does this eliminate having to manually fix note and rest bump-ups, it makes your score much easier to read. Rests in multi-voice staves also automatically re-position to avoid collisions. Now any time a rest is created, the newly enhanced Magnetic Layout tool automatically re-positions the rest to align optimally with the phrasing of your surrounding notes. Inserting rests into your music just got a whole lot easier. Intelligent Rests – enhanced Magnetic Layout Sibelius 8.1 also includes stability improvements. The release aims to enable musicians, composers, arrangers and engravers to create beautiful, accurate, easy-to-read scores more effortlessly than ever.
