The Sibelius Forum

Thanks! I figured it was something like this but had no idea what the range/transposition stuff would need to be modified to, so thank you for that!

I have a score that calls for an Eb piccolo oboe. I have 2 questions: 1) How can I create an Eb oboe? I know nothing about keys/transposing, and I don't see anything in Sibelius' pre-made list so I'm not sure how to create this. I'm guessing I can base a new instrument on the regular Oboe and modify...

That was it, thanks! Must have bumped it when using Alt + Shift M to group bars into a system.

I typically add bars using Ctrl+B, and these bars show up as single bars. However, recently I came back to a score I was working on, and needed to add some bars, but using Ctrl+B they all added as a single multi-rest bar. It's a single bar that has a big 10 over it to indicate 10 bars of rest. Why w...

Figured out my last 2 questions but I'm still stuck on the Clarinet issue. Whats the recommendation here? Should I be creating a new instrument (in B, vs the default A instrument Ive been using), or should I be messing with the key signature? Tried to attach my Sib file but I guess thats not allowed...

Ok one last question (actually a few small questions), now that I got past setting everything up. A few bars in, the Clarinet staff is marked "in B" for a few bars. The key signature and everything else stays the same, so how do I handle that so it plays back correctly? Also, for a small bit the Obo...

So I was going to answer all your questions and post the screenshot (as well as my Sibelius file), but EUREKA! I got it all working properly! :D So I realized that by adding in the Horns, I had to turn Transposing Score on to get them to display properly, but this messed with the Clarinet staff. So ...

Ok I'm still having issues. I've tried so many different things, but I think I am just missing something fundamental about transposing. I've attached a jpg of the first page of the piece I'm trying to input. As far as the instruments, when I input notes the Bassoon, Trombone, and Bass Trombone/Tuba ...

Ok so I found out how to create a new instrument. Problem is, it still sounds horrible so I'm still definitely missing something. So when I go to create a new instrument, I actually see Horn in E [no key] as one of the instruments thats not in the "active" list, so I cant use it but I can add it to ...

Thanks for the reply. I'm using version 5.1.0. What I had to do was create a dummy score, then I could add a new instrument. Then I closed that score and created a new score with the intent of using my new instrument, but it wasn't there. When I created another new score and went back to the create ...

I'm trying to create a new score and set up the instruments to match a physical score that I want to input, and I'm having some trouble with the brass instruments. I am a string player so I'm not very familiar with some of the brass nuances so I could use a little help. The physical score calls for ...
