The Sibelius Forum

Ok, I read on the 'official' forum that there were problems, no one to fix it and hence it was unplugged in Sib 6. Shame.

Hi. Does anyone know why the Realize Figured Bass Plugin was removed from Sibelus 6 (and presumably onwards) - was it really that bad? Or perhaps it would put score arrangers out of a job. I was going to give it a try having read a Sibelius 5 guide, as I've quite a few scores with unfigured bass, on...

Must admit I don't like this ribbon at all either. Hopefully this can be addressed in a (not too distant) future upgrade for Sibelius 7. Either that or maybe they could provide the ability to 'turn off' the ribbon and use a 'classic menu view' instead. Meanwhile I'm glad to still be able to use Sibe...

Seems to work OK for me, eg. I just changed a score from D minor to F minor with no problems. Are you using the latest build of Sib 6 (6.2.0 I think)?

The upgrade requires you enter the serial number for the previous (licensed) version of Sibelius that you're upgrading from.

Yes you can. Select the bar you want to renumber, and from the menu bar Create > Other > Bar number change, and enter the bar number eg. 1. You can also hide the original bar number if you want.

I think I can help - if you go to Play in the menu, select Repeats... you'll see a tick box marked "Play repeats after a D.S. or D.C. jump". Just tick this and it should (presumably) work. This is in Sibelius 6.2, can't say about earlier versions though.

Hope that helps.
