  • Sibelius

    From Chris Newman@3:633/10 to All on Sunday, January 18, 2026 11:19:59
    Hi,

    I'm trying to sort a little oddity. Is anyone out there using Sibelius on Virtual Acorn?

    I asked on the VA mail list but no answer so far.

    Hi,

    I have a copy of Sibelius 6 which I have never installed. Before I screw anything up, does anyone know if this will install and run correctly on a Strongarm RPC running RO4.39

    I have Sibelius 7 running on such a beast so you should be OK.

    Remember, Sibelius' protection relies on being able to datestamp the
    scrap folder directory so don't mess with anything in Scrap to do with Sibelius.

    Herewith how to install Sibelius without losing a credit ==

    Load floppy;
    Start install;
    Before dragging to destination, remove disc & write protect;
    Re-insert disc & drag icon to destination - ignore any error messages. Installing/ De-installing takes a long timestart de-installing - be
    patient!

    Hope this helps.

    For confirmation, Sibelius 6/7 works well with Rom 04.39 and the midi
    card.

    I use it a lot less since Rhapsody4 works on ARMX6 and RPi4.
