As you’ll see from the tutorial, though, the integration was awfully tricky at the time. I wrote a tutorial a year ago for Keyboard Magazine (full article online) explaining how to integrate the superb Garritan Personal Orchestra with notation software. These options were an improvement, but they were still relatively limited. Sibelius 3 tried to address this problem with its Kontakt Silver and Gold sound libraries, followed by Finale adding support for SoundFonts (also supported natively on Mac OS X). Finale and Sibelius have both gotten a lot smarter about rendering a score in a way that sounds more musical, but the built-in sounds are pretty awful. You need to turn out a quick demo, or make a rehearsal CD for a singer, and that means turning to your notation software to produce the sounds. Sure, you’d like to be able to immediately hear every note you put down on a score played by real musicians, but it’s just not possible. Composers and arrangers, you know the problem.
