Ah, sorry, I didn’t know Sibelius had a text mode.
I found references that implied Henle used SCORE (but can’t find them again).

But I didn’t pay attention to some important details:
- The video is from 1997.
- The desktop is X/Motif (or similar), not Windows 3.1.
- The operator uses MIDI keyboard input.

So it’s probably MusicTeX or an early MusiXTeX.
LilyPond wasn’t released before 1998.

Ah, but Sibelius started 1986 on Acorn RISC OS, and released in 1993. The last 
Sibelius version for Acorn was in 1998.
We can’t see the computer in the video. The different screenshots of RISC OS 
that I found don’t resemble that in the video, but are close enough that it 
might be possible.

Neither with MusiXTeX nor with Sibelius I could find a reference to MIDI 
keyboard input.
