Turning several songs into one document.

Let's say I've created 10 separate pieces of music. Each a few pages long. Is there a way to combine them into one document? With the page numbers arranging themselves correctly?

If there is a way could you please tell me the steps?
Many thanks,
Tom

notes all crammed together...

If I'm writing a score and I find somehow my notes are all crammed together in a measure with no space between them, my impulse is to widen up the measure and give them room, make the notes look more comfortably spaced out. But how do I do that?

Thanks for any help!

Re: My Score is Locked!

Thank you. Actually, after writing my question I turned off the computer and went to bed. Next morning turned it on and the problem was resolved, the score was no longer locked.

But I'm printing out your reply and will save it in case this happens again.

Thanks for your help!

My Score is Locked!

I don't know what I accidentally touched, but the notice says, "This score is locked for review, etc. To unlock the score click the review mode icon in the status bar at the bottom of the main Sibelius window." I cannot find the review mode icon. And I don't see a status bar at the bottom of the mai...

Re: Tempo Marking Appears Double

One is black and the other is red, except for its placement on the page. Sometimes it's black.

But I found a workable solution. To delete one I RIGHT click on it, then hit delete and it disappears.

So I'm okay with that. Thanks!

Tempo Marking Appears Double

In Sibelius Ultimate, something happened where now when I select a Tempo Marking, it appears twice on the page, one about an inch above the other. And they're connected. If I move one, the other moves. If I delete one, they both disappear. This never used to happen! Any way to stop this from happeni...

Score won't play back anymore...

I don't know what I did wrong, but when I open a score that I've created, an announcement comes up that says, "This score uses the playback configuration 'General Midi (basic)". Do you want to switch to that configuration now?" At this point I never know what to do. But when I make a decision, Yes o...

Question about Playback...

I have Sibelius Ultimate. I just wrote a piece for piano and vocal. I've been using Playback to hear the keyboard and voice together, but now I just want to hear the piano. How can I do that?
Thanks,

Metronome Marking appears twice!

When I select a metronome marking it always appears twice on the score page -- one on top of the other. I can move them slightly apart, but I can't get rid of one! If I try to delete one they BOTH disappear. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing that??? Thank you!

Volume on Playback

When I play back a song I've written (piano & vocal) I have no idea how to regulate the volume. Sometimes the vocal is nice and loud, but the piano is too quiet. Sometimes the piano is loud but I can hardly ear the vocal. How should I adjust the volume so it's all pretty much the same? Many thanks f...

Adding an electronic keyboard

I just upgraded to Sibelius Ultimate and downloaded it into my new laptop. My Yamaha electronic keyboard is plugged into my laptop. When I want to edit some music in Sibelius I hit NOTE INPUT>INPUT DEVICES. The "Input Devices" window comes up. Instruction #1 says "Switch on the Use column for the MI...
