Hi, I'm trying to add a metronome mark. In the ribbon I go text, tempo, click on metronome mark, flashing curser appears above score. NO Drop down menu appears to create the mark. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm on a mac book pro with os x el captain version 10-11-6
cheers

You should Right Click at the cursor to get the drop-down list of metronome markings options. As usual in Sibelius, some things aren't quite obvious. Does that work?

And if all else fails, you can do it the old fashioned way. In early versions of Sibelius at the flashing cursor, you would type (for example ) q = 60. Still works.
