The Sibelius Forum

HI Folks,
I'm confused. I just opened a client's Sibelius ultimate file with my Sib 8. Looks fine.
But, Have I lost any information? Do I need to have Sib Ultimate to work with Sib ultimate files successfully?
Thank you

I received this advice from a colleague:
"I do have a keyboard that constantly sends double info. So it's possible that it's not a Sibelius issue, but an interface issue. Check for loops. If you have the MIDI-in and MIDI-out ports connected, disconnect the MIDI-in when using keyboard entry".

Im in Sib 6. Sometimes when MIDI entering with my casio kybd I get 2 unison notes each time I hit a key.
Suggestions? Thank you

HI Folks,

HI Folks,

Sib 5, windows xp. Is there a setting in engraving rules or elsewhere to create say 75% size accidentals (in parens)on notes that are tied from the previous measure on the previous line? Or do I have to use cue size symbols each time?

Thanks,

Better than combining technique text with symbols from z-symbols whi...

Hi Folks,

Working in Sib 5, I would like to be able to add articulation symbols to text concerning performance notes. Is the best way to add artic symbols to the Technique window? If so, How do I do that?
Is there a better way?

HI Folks,

The Sibelius Tech guy knew. Change the transposition of Clar in Bb, Tpt in Bb to a# and then key of f# becomes gb. etc. You have to check your score throughout for other enharmonic changes though.

HI Folks, I'm working on a classical score in Sib 5. It goes through many key changes. In one section in E major, I want the trumpets and clars written in Gb. In the clefs & keys window of engraving rules, I have the respell remote key signatures in transposed score checked but the Tpts & clars are ...
