Sibelius Sound Set Project Update 2/1/2011

Things have been quiet for a while now, but I am still working hard to bring Sibelius compatibility to as many libraries as I can. Here's a look at what you may have missed over the last few months, what's new, and what to expect in the coming weeks.

Sound Sets for Wallander Orchestral and Band Brass and Woodwind and Saxophone collections were released back in August of 2010.
