Yes i work on Sibelius almost everyday along linuxsampler to hear my
scores.
I'm on Ubuntu Hardy with RT kernel 2.6.24-19-rt.
Sibelius 4.1.5
Wine 1.0
LS 5.1
I installed Sibelius as usual then i trhrown the file gdiplus.dll in
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
I also put in that folder the files mfc42.dll, msvcirt.dll and
msvcp60.dll but don't recall if that was really for sibelius or another
win-app
I installed the msttcorefonts package
On wine config, audio section, i had to choose only alsa driver.

Then this is time to start everything :
-start jack
-start LS and load some sounds, connect LS in jack if it's not done
automatically
-start Sibelius.Go to Play/Playback & Input Devices.In front of the
device you wanna use you have a yes/no (the "use" column).Single-click
or double -click or triple-click...til you have a "yes".You won't have
to do it again if you start the device (LS in my case) before Sibelius.

Everything should be ready.Here's a webpage at winehq that helped me :

i also found this useful
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Sibelius_4
although now i think it is a little out of date. i gave up on timidity as i found it to be terribly unstable with jack and sibelius. now i just use it without sounds/playback. i concur on the graphic refresh issues and CPU usage.

on a side note(heh)... i would much prefer to support linux notation apps and i visit threads like this every 6 months or so. sibelius and wine work great for me but i would much prefer a intuitive interface to lilypond anyday, alas we are not there yet. but i am greatful for all the hard work exploring this world.

also, svoufff... what does gdiplus.dll mfc42.dll, msvcirt.dll and msvcp60.dll in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 do? do you have any info on this?
