Hi all,

I have been struggling to make chord sheets in sibelius 7.5. I play keyboards in a band and I typically use chord sheets like the pdf I included in the attachment.

Is it possible to make something similar in Sibelius?

The advantages that I see/want:
- to place chords (like notes) on their proper positions
- to use Sibelius symbols to indicate accents, expression, etc
- (add lyrics to it)

For specific songs I would like to add a (piano) stave to explicitly write down a specific riff or solo. Would be great to have only a stave for the bars/chords that are involved.

I know I can use chord symbols in Sibelius. I have even seen that you can get rid of the staves? But still, this does not provide exactly what I want.

Any thoughts are welcome
Thanks,
Antoine

You can create a sorts of lead sheets. Attached is a simple example. I suppose you could select and hide bars you don't need to see.
