Hello everyone,

I'm trying to figure how to write additve time signaturs like 4/4+1/16 (insted of e.g. 17/16) with Sibelius....kind of like Messiaen uses them. Sibelius only seems to support complex time signaturs like 3+2/4 or something like that. Is this possible somehow?

Thank you,
Michael

Ah thank you, it worked indeed. I used to select both the grace note and the normal note before hitting "s", and that didn't work.

Bye, Michael

Unfortunately it seems to be impossible to create a slur going from the grace note to the "normal" note it is attached to. Neither does is work when you have a group of quavers starting with a grace note: the slur always begins a the first "normal" note. That's a bit annoying, because I had to drag ...

When I compose scores for orchestra, the number of staves on each page can differ greatly, e.g. because I like to split the strings into soloists for some bars. So I would like to set a smaller staff size for the pages with more instruments shown, and a bigger one for the pages with less instruments...
