Hey guys!

Could someone please provide instructions on how to create a bar BEFORE the current position?

Under the "CREATE" menu I have found options to create a bar after the current position/bar and at the end of the score but not BEFORE the current position.

Thanks!

It took me a while to work this out, but basically you want to add the bar before choosing the position (bar) to add it before. Hopefully that makes sense.

So, press Escape (once or twice) to deselect everything, then Create > Bar > Single, then select a note in the bar to add it before.

Huh, that's a little weird. Sibelius is full of little quirks like that.

Great, thank you. Really useful if I need to add a bar/anacrusis to the beginning of a score.
