I am attempting to enter notes from my Yamaha P255 into Sibelius 7.5.1 using the numeric keypad on my keyboard, but only rests will load. When I select the note value, only rests load. I can enter via real-time, but prefer greater control of the entry. Any ideas as to how I can fix this so that the keypad works for all notes and other keypad menus?

I don't know about Yamaha PC's, as I have an HP desk top; however, the "Num Lock" is always on so that I can use the number feature. Make sure that you have your Num Lock light on, if your Yamaha has it. Hope this helps.

Mimi,

I was able to resolve this issue with some help via the forum on FB. The problems were due to incorrect selections during set up when I reloaded the software on a new computer. For some reason, defaults, unknown to me, were set up and I just couldn't figure it out, but finally resolved the two issues that I was having.

Thanks for your response.

Rick

And to advise Mimi, the Yamaha P255 is a digital piano, not a computer! :D
