If I install today's sib. upgrade to my sibelius ultimate, will I be charged money, and, will it make a new set of hurtles in opening my existing sib? Sorry if these are idiotic questions, but the swithch to "avid" has been very filled with painful surprises for me.

1. if you have a recent version of Sib ultimate installed on your machine and you have a perpetual licence with a current support plan in place, you will not be charged anything. which version of ultimate have you got?

Once installed, it should run as smoothly as your current version.

Beware that I had a few issues with the installation, but it eventually sorted itself out.

Even though I have had Sibelius for over 20 years, Avid is still my "public enemy No. 1". You are not alone!

I didn't pay any additional " Help " fees, as I figured Avid would think the more arcane and less intuitional they made the program, the more they would earn. Too cynical?

Not even remotely too cynical!
