Sibelius notation program

Sibelius is a home computer program designed as a scorewriter[?]. Named for the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, it was first launched on the Acorn computer system in 1987, created by a specialist company which was founded by British twins Ben and Jonathan Finn.

Since then, it has grown to become the world's most widely-used scorewriting package, currently in version 2.1 (for PC and Macintosh).

The launch of Sibelius significantly heated up the 'home and professional scorewriter' market, previously dominated by Finale.
