Sibelius beginners can discuss all things Sibelius here ("how do I...?").

Hi Everyone

I am doing a transcription of Moritz Moszkowski ‒ Piano Concerto in E major, Op 59.
In his works he uses 4 Horns in E. After some research i could only find Horn in F or E flat.
I read an article where you could edit the instruments, but i cant find that function on my version of Sibelius, even after searching

Hoping some of you can help me

You could start by telling us what version and, in particular, TIER of sibelius you have. Is it first or plain sibelius or sibelius ultimate? Or are you on an earlier version?

If you aren't on Ultimate, you cannot create new instruments. There is no way round this.

You could try MuseScore - it's free and pretty damned good.
