This is also speculation and opinion, instead of development let’s look at this from the business perspective, as business decisions made in advance drive the development budget and sales planning. I think a companion release as a vst or rewire version ( as an add on to Cubase with a cost or not , I don’t know ) to replace the current score editor makes complete sense.

1 it gives the notation program
a huge built in audience to help capture market share, 2 it would increase Cubase appeal, sales. 3. At the same time The full standalone version could offer more features and go after the leading competitors.

Also the full version looks like a closed system, if this is true it’s of no use to me for mockups or just simply using notation instead of midi to write and play back. 3rd party orchestral libraries blow away stienbergs, and we need a Sibelius approach to send midi out to vst of our choice. Could some one fact check this ?

Regarding Rewire

It will support 3rd party VSTi’s, although only for VST3 and known well behaved VST2 instruments
