Re: Dotted/Dashed Lines (Slurs) Never Magnetic

I have 6.2. It worked fine until about a week ago. I changed a few settings in Engraving Rules but nothing pertaining to slurs. I suspect I will need to re-install, but I was hoping someone might know what I did that caused the software to think I hadn't selected the note before inserting the dotted...

Dotted/Dashed Lines (Slurs) Never Magnetic

I have read through the slur/dotted slur section in the Reference manual, and googled around to see if someone else has a problem. I hope this is a setting I changed inadvertently somewhere, and won't require a reinstall. Maybe someone here can help me. I want to draw dotted slurs in a vocal score. ...

Hyphens replaced with weird characters in EPS files

This may be an Adobe question, but I doubt it, because the problem seems to occur within Sibelius when I export graphics files. I am exporting a score from Sibelius 6.2 into Adobe InDesign EPS format using the Export Graphics option in Sibelius. When I place the file in InDesign, the hyphens in the ...

Re: Magnetic Layout and Distributing/Aligning Staves

Oh, and I "accidentally on purpose" discovered the staff margin and that is immensely helpful, as well. I am moving along on the project with only a few residual frustrations.

Re: Magnetic Layout and Distributing/Aligning Staves

Thank you for your replies! I have found that using the Optimize Staff Spacing does fairly well but still not aesthetically 100%, so I use that setting now first, and then usually nudge the lyrics down from the top staff (when I forget to increase the distance of lyric line 1). That makes it perfect...

Magnetic Layout and Distributing/Aligning Staves

Hi there! I am a complete Sibelius 6.2 newbie, I've been engraving for just a couple of weeks now. I was a holdout because of how difficult the software is to use, but I am now hooked because of the sheer beauty and power of the program. As they say in the deep South of the U.S., "it's the slurs wha...
