A few months ago I posted a snippet of the manuscript for Hector Parra’s opera, Hypermusic Prologue. Here it is again:
Reader Ilja Panzer commented that he would love to see the equivalent passage in Sibelius. Copyist Katherine Anderson was happy to oblige; here it is:
To see the example above at a much larger size, click here.
This kind of complex, contemporary notation is a great advertisement both for the power and flexibility of Sibelius, and also for the skill and talent of engravers like Katherine. Thanks for sharing this with everybody, Katherine!

Wow – that looks a 1000% better.
i’d really like to listen to that… and get what it sounds like even if it is a string quartet.
If you need a Demo whats possible with Sibelius – look right here: I am impressed.
Congrats again, Kathy!
I would love to know which are the fonts used in this score, I guess the music one is Opus but the text one? It’s so elegant…
I’m pretty sure the font family is Minion, which also happens to be the family we use for setting the Sibelius documentation. It is indeed a very elegant font.
Actually, I think it’s (the very similar) Adobe Caslon. There are more differences in the italic: compare e.g. the descender of the y. http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/adobe-caslon/
Right you are, Jeremy. The angle of the italics is the give-away: Caslon it is.
