The Sibelius Forum

You are aware that this isn't the official Sibelius forum? It's an old, almost moribund site that's very fussy about attachments. Only 3 people answering questions and I can't help on this one. Official Sibelius chat page would be the best place to ask - you'll find Mike on there as well! http://www...

And remember that Sib 7 is not compatible with later Mac operating systems. This is typical of the problems caused.

And I would remove your system ID from your first post.

A question probably best asked on the OFFICIAL Sibelius forum:

This old site is unofficial and almost moribund.

Very likely a restriction. In fact Sibelius First is so restricted that it's really not worth having at all. Sibelius Artist is a little better but Ultimate is the only version that is any good. Unless you have plans to upgrade from First to Ultimate, I'd abandon ship and get Musescore 4. It's far m...

You just replied to a 13 year old post on an almost dead forum! Just sayin.....

I'd agree with the others, and that makes replies from all three people still answering questions here! :) You do know that this is not the official Sibelius forum? The free version is not worth bothering with. Musescore is WAY better than that version of Sibelius and probably better than the mid ti...

Of the three people left answering questions on this rather moribund unofficial forum, I can't help you with this one. The other two might, but I should point out that the official Sibelius forum is here: http://www.sibelius.com/cgi-bin/helpcenter/chat/chat.pl?groupid=3 You'll reach more users there...

You may well have to do the stretching thing! You could just create one, then copy and paste if you need another. Trouble is, you may then have to shift it up or down and adjust the end points of the line. Me? I'm resigned to just arpeggiating the bass clef and stretching the line up. Not sure wheth...

Don't delete the 3. You have the option to show numbers or not, and a lot of other options as well. All explained fully in the Reference Manual (F1). Search for 'tuplets' or 'triplets'.

Also worth remembering that older versions like 7.5 are not compatible with later Mac O/S versions. You'll get some functionality but odd things can happen.

Yes, delete all the notes and save as a Manuscript Paper.

Don't rely on Youtube! Read the Reference manual (F1 should open that) and search for 'add bars'. Highlight the first bar and right click or use the keyboard shortcuts. You should have 3 options. At end (Cmd+B), Single (Cmd+Shift+B) and Other (Option+B). Other will allow you to specify the number of...

This sort of thing is probably best done in a word processor. I'm not sure if Sibelius would do it well, if at all!

Create the music parts in Sibelius and export them as graphics. Import them into the word processor and you have full control over their size and placement.

See the thread immediately below, it seems to be the same thing.

Yes, just open both scores. You can switch between them and copy and paste, much like most apps. One app open, but two or more files open.
