Hi there First of all, make a new score with the bar-snippet in it. Then select it as a graphic and export it as a tiff file. Now import that into your La Mer score as a graphic, and make sure it's the right size. An easier (and more modern version) is to put the three notes in as a stemless black-n...

Hi there I think the OP wants a string of acciaccatura-like notes, slashed to mean fast. This is different from the advice you've been given. You can use acciaccaturas (shortcut type slash during note entry): this produces grace-note-sized notes, which you may not want, and note spacing can be probl...

Glad you got it to work. In fact both options copy across all system information (including time signatures, tempo text, etc.) so you would have been fine in either case.

Hi You have two options. a. Make the number and layout of staves in the source score match the destination score, or b. Move the music to the correct staves after pasting. I would recommend the former, but the latter should work without much problem. For both, the actual copy-paste is done by making...

There is a lower-case m in the Inkpen2 Chords font (that ships with Sibelius 6). You can get these fonts (and continue to use them) by installing the latest version of Scorch, or trying out the Sib6 demo. What is unclear is whether they'll solve your problem with chord symbols in Sibelius 2 without ...

Hi I think you're asking about a fractional beam (not a stem). There is a tickbox in the Notes pane of the Properties window for this, but first you'll have to change the beaming for the rest. Select it and go to the third keypad layout, and hit the key above the 8, which is 'break secondary beam'. ...

Hi there Jay's right that it's a bit messy to do this. Here's my method: There's a Sibelius font that includes some useful parens for this sort of thing: Opus Figured Bass Extras.

Hi there Don't do it. Sibelius is correct here, and your manuscript is 'wrong'. Part of the problem is that noteheads are sloped ovals, and so if the upper notehead is to the left, the stem must continue down past it to attach to the lower note, and that looks terrible and weird. But, in the interes...

Hi there

Re-enter the new key signature, and tick the 'Hide' box. You will probably then need to re-enter the final barline at the end of previous system too.

Hope that helps

Hi there Tricky but possible. 1. Cut the passage and paste it in a temporary location in the same score. Make a temporary new staff if necessary. Select all the notes (I assume they are all dotted quavers) and type the augmentation dot to turn them into plain quavers with semiquaver rests. 2. Back i...

Hi there 1. You can make a dashed line with the text 'pizz.' at the beginning and a hook at the end, via House Style>Edit Lines... (choose a line that resembles what you want, and click New). But this is not the way pizz. is normally used, and players will not expect to see it. I don't think you sho...

Hi there What you're describing is the way this four-bar repeat works and looks. The 'blank' bars (the sign is to be seen as encompassing all four bars) are played back correctly. I'm not sure what you're expecting to happen that isn't, so if you could post a score with what you are getting, and a d...
