Custom Stores Added to Sibelius' Self-Publishing Service

Sibelius Software, Ltd announced SibeliusMusic Stores -- an online self-publishing service at www.sibeliusmusic.com for small publishers, composers and arrangers to publish and sell music in an easy-to-use and secure environment.

SibeliusMusic Stores is designed as a solution for those who wish to sell scores securely online -- without the expense and complexity of website hosting, infrastructure and maintenance. An individual's store can be customized to best fit their own image or brand identity.

SibeliusMusic Stores adds to the existing publishing and ecommerce features of SibeliusMusic.com, which presently carries more than 30,000 musical scores. Musical scores are authored in Sibelius or Sibelius G7software, and can be played back via the free Sibelius Scorch download -- which lets users view, play and print Sibelius scores over the Internet. Score files on SibeliusMusic.com are securely encrypted and reside on Sibelius' servers for convenience and protection. Self-publishers can choose to make their scores available for sale or free of charge. While SibeliusMusic.com provides the tools to sell and promote music, composers retain total control and copyright.

SibeliusMusic.com is licensed by the Performing Right Society (PRS) on behalf of The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), BMI, GEMA and other performing rights societies worldwide.
