The Sibelius Forum

PhotoScore seems to be more-or-less successfully reading the PDF scores I import ... but when I export to Sibelius, the program loads partway then instantly crashes. I've tried this with several different PDF scans with the same result. It's also the same result when Sibelius was already open. Any a...

Got it!!! I thought by deleting the time signature NOTATION it was just the print I was deleting ... not the indication itself. Sure enough: as long as the notation is there, it behaves itself and inserts bars / deletes content in the correct time signature. Thank you so much for shedding light on t...

On a related subject, I frequently have occasion to delete the time signature notation, without changing the meter of subsequ...

When I delete three quarter notes from a 3/4 bar, the empty bar spontaneously reverts to 4/4 time. When I re-...

A 4/4 bar was inserted in a piece written entirely in 10/4, and it didn't matter whether the bar was inserted at the end or in the middle; it was created as a 4/4 bar each time. I don't know what the underly...
