However, could you possibly tell me if there is a way of getting the stems of the kick drums note to point down while the snare and hihat point upward please? There are two possible situations (now working with Sib4 and Sib5): You already created a drum pattern: - Select the bar(s) - type [Shift+V]...

Easy enough. - or you can do like me: go to View > Note colors and untick Notes out of range . Hope this helps. be...

Hi there, this one is easy: - go to Play > Video and Time > Timecode and Duration - you can select all sorts of parameters but in your case, selecting the unit will be important - in Duration, select Duration at end of score - click OK (or hit Enter) - Done! The duration is now created at the bottom...

I can't believe how straightforward that is. Yo Beesa, In most cases, when trying to do something basic (creating notes, text, lines) Sibelius is totally straightforward. Here's a simple method: - Before you try something new, sit back ... no really, don't start clicking, just sit back - Ask yourse...

Ah great, thanks Sebasian.

Sometimes it has been so long ago since I first tackled a problem that I now seem to doubt whether or not I ever searched for a solution ... . (How's that for a crooked sentence??? :shock: But you know what I mean ...)

Be well, Zap

Re: adjusting angle of two whole note tremolo?

Hi Maarten, your quotation of the manual is quite accurate: (this has the same effect as dragging the stem of the first note - were it to have one!)] Dragging the stem of the first note (in a tremolo) only changes the vertical position. It is the dragging of the stem of the second note that changes ...

Hi Carol, This is all very strange. In normal circumstances, Reset Note Spacing should have a visible effect. Of course there are ways to change the numerous settings that govern Lyrics input: - Edit Text Styles: to change the overall look of the text - Default Positions: well this one speaks for it...

Hi there, This is a very common problem. The solution is quite simple. However, writing about all possible causes and solutions is kinda elaborate.

Hi there, "Lyrics" text influences the note spacing. That is why -when creating lyrics text- the notes are spread out to accommodate the words and syllables. But ...... only changing the font size of already created text has no influence on the note spacing .... ... hmmmm, what to do? ..... - Select...

Hi there, I don't have an answer yet. There are two reasons for that: - I don't understand the word "prefatory" so I have no idea what you want.

Hi there, Your reconstruction of the problem reveals the culprit and Sebasians' deduction is correct. I didn't think of that possibility before you posted that reconstruction, sorry. Indeed, using the word "extract" for the usual "clean up action" could cause confusion. In Sibelius, "to extract" is ...

Hi again,

just a question ...

why do you want to extract the Pno part? In normal circumstances -from Sib4 on- there is no reason whatsoever to extract parts.

Just curious.
