Sibelius beginners can discuss all things Sibelius here ("how do I...?").

You can select the stave and choose "No Lines Hidden" from the Staves pane of the Properties Window. In earlier versions use Create> [Other] > Staff Type Change ....

You can edit the position of any text style, including Fingering, using House Styles > Default Positions > Text Styles. You can place the fingering where you want it, and if you hide the stave (as above) you set the default position to be where the stave used to be - so it will under the chord diagrams.

Hi... thanx it works... almost...

How would u input the fingering? now I right click --> Text -->Other staff text --> Fingering... for each number under a diagram... Is it not possible to make sibelius do it at a default when I for example want a open C major chord..

Another thing... how do I change the font to Arial when choosing to show the Chord name above the diagram? It is still Times new roman...


Thanx,
Jannik

If you're using Sibelius 4, you can add fingering numbers directly to the chord diagrams themselves -- see 'Chord diagrams' in Help > Sibelius Reference.
