Sibelius MetaGrid for Orchestrators
Sibelius MetaGrid for Orchestrators is a professional MetaGrid template designed for real-world orchestration workflows. Many existing templates are comprehensive but bloated, slowing access when speed matters. Professional orchestrators rely on instinctive shortcuts and muscle memory, not menu diving.
This template builds on that approach with a focused set of 79 advanced shortcuts and macros, presented on a single page to prioritise speed and efficiency for power users.
I built this template for my own orchestration work. It has been refined and stress-tested over years of professional use, continually adjusted in response to real deadlines and real projects. This is the exact template I use day to day.
