=== Avid divests London Sibelius branch and replaces original development team (July 2012) ===

Following losses in profit margins in 2012, Avid divested off parts of its consumer audio branches and closed the Sibelius' London office and laid off the original development team. This prompted users to create the "Save Our Sibelius" campaign which was a petition for Avid to sell off Sibelius to another company amid concerns of the future.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schofield |first=Jack |date=8 Aug 2012 |title=Users petition Avid to sell Sibelius music software arm |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/users-petition-avid-to-sell-sibelius-music-software-arm/ |url-status=live |access-date=16 Apr 2026 |website=ZDNet}}</ref> Following the layoff, Avid hired a completely new development team based in Canada and Ukraine.
