Decondensing Staves is here! Download the @AvidSibelius 2025.2 update and enjoy! The Reinecke Wind Octet example score uses the new Staff Filters in the parts, so you see for yourself how they work. For all the juicy details, check out my blog: avid.com/resource-cente…

@MatthewHindson @AvidSibelius They're on the list for our upcoming releases. We tackled the beaming first as there was no real workaround. We're now starting on tackling the rest. News as we have it.

@avid_sam @AvidSibelius The cross staff improvements look good and are very welcome. Are slurs on cross staff notes also fixed? And tuplet number placement? These can both be very problematic.

Our first @AvidSibelius release of 2026 is here! * Refreshed icons throughout the app * New font for the interface on macOS * Dark/Light themes * New Appearance prefs * Beginnings of Cross-staff beaming improvements * New tremolo engraving rule and more! avid.com/resource-cente…

If you're on a Mac younger than 7 years old, you're good to upgrade to Sonoma or later, and macOS will be able to pick up the new certs automatically. If you can't uprgade from Ventura or earlier, you'll need the patch (link above) 👆

@MatthewHindson @AvidSibelius Not at this stage. A "lock spacing" feature is on the list.

@avid_sam @AvidSibelius Re. Turning off respacing, is it possible to turn off respacing for selected bars only? Or is it an all or nothing scenario? The former would be most useful, eg we may have a bar with aleatoric notation that we want locked, but the rest auto-spaced.

Here's a great overview of what's in our recent @AvidSibelius 2025.7: youtube.com/watch?v=CEg482… Enjoy!
