Live Tempo lets you ‘conduct’ the playback of your score to produce a nuanced, musical performance.
Simply tap a key on your computer keyboard, MIDI keyboard or foot pedal, and Sibelius follows your beat. Every detail of your interpretation is recorded, so you can play it back again later, or produce an audio or MIDI file of your performance.
And just like a real conductor, change your beating patterns at any point, and Sibelius 6 will follow you: subdivide beats for a rit, tap one in a bar in a fast passage, or stop beating entirely and Sibelius 6 will keep going. At fermatas (pauses), Sibelius 6 holds until your next beat, just like an orchestra. You can even record separate tempos for different repeats of a section.
Should you want to edit your performance, you can delete or re-record sections of Live Tempo, or play back with Live Tempo switched off entirely.

On Live Tempo...
“The ability to check intuitively whether the tempo at any given moment in your piece is what is marked, by tapping one's way through it, is a brilliantly ingenious addition to our tools. I wish this had been around before as I am going to use it at least once for every single composition I ever do from now on!”
Howard Goodall, 2009 Composer Of The Year, Classical BRITs
