Large screen TV

Sibelius is an "Industry Standard" music technology computer application which students use to compose their work. Some visually impaired users can benefit greatly from looking at the notation when it is displayed on a  large screen television connected to the video output of the PC.

Sibelius is perfectly capabale of increasing the size of the notation to show a magnified portion of the music on the computer screen, but the big advantage of the large TV  in this instance was to give the composer the ability to navigate between the staves of a larger score without becoming disoriented.
