I would be interested and willing to use Sibelius 7.0.

I'll let someone else.


My main concern is the emphasis on git.  Sibelius runs on my Windows box and 
I don't generally use git on that at all.  Sibelius also only produces 
binary files, so there's no point in trying to track or collaborate through 
git.  How would a Windows/non-git machine proceed?
