Are there any Sibelius users who are using the IRCAM Prepared Piano software in conjunction with Sibelius. I am wanting to know if it is possible to fully activate and successfully use this software with Sibelius before I take the plunge and buy it.

Probably not, is the short answer.

Sibelius with run with virtual instrument hosts like Kontakt and with some standalone instruments, but I'm not sure that it will work with the two host apps mentioned.

In any case, there is no Soundset for it, so you'd have to create one. If you have the ability to write a Soundset file, it shouldn't take you more than a couple of weeks solid work, if you're fast at it!

These instruments are meant for use with DAWs and Sibelius handles its sounds in a very different way, via Soundsets.
