Which web browsers work with Score Exchange?

We have done our best to test Score Exchange in the following browsers:

Windows: Internet Explorer (from v7 onwards), Firefox, Safari & Chrome.

Mac: Firefox and Safari (both in 32-bit mode).

While we have taken care to ensure that the browsing, search and buying process works, sellers have access to some advanced features that may not work as expected in Internet Explorer 6.

As Google and other large corporations also no longer support Internet Explorer 6 in favour of spending more time on more modern browsers (see Official Google Enterprise Blog or BBC News) we have followed suit. The majority of users using 'IE6' are also in corporate environments where they are unlikely to be uploading scores to Score Exchange.

Other browsers may work with Score Exchange, but if you have a problem please try one of the supported browsers above. If you still have a problem, please tell us about it.

If you are having problems with the Scorch plugin and can't see any music on Score Exchange please see the Scorch Installation Problems help article at www.sibelius.com/a625.
