The Sibelius Forum

You've not answered our question. Do you Have Sibelius Ultimate or just plain Sibelius?

If you only have Sibelius, then you will have a restricted list of instruments.

When the splash screen shows, does the word "Ultimate" appear at any point?

After changing did you try reset space above/below on the layout tab?

OK, Reality check - are you using the full version of sibelius or one of the cut-down versions?

If these instruments are missing, are you looking at the All Instruments list? Band Instruments is more akin to American marching bands than brass bands. There should be a template already set up with is a reasonnable starting point. Turn on the Quick Start dialog temporarily (I actually have it the...

Type it into the Copyright field on the backstage page (File tab).

Looking at your image, all the single bars appear to have a 'split multirest' marker, although it is difficult to tell because it is so small. These should have gone after [ctrl][shift]u. However, there are a multitude of ...

Show me a screengrab of your Appearance tab. If you have 2019.9, then you should have the same buttons on the ribbon as me.

Then don't just search or scan the manul, read it . Finale is notorious for letting you do things that are wrong. Read the manual and get your head around how sibelius uses the techology and the terms. If you have 2019.5, take the free update to 2019.9 With all due respect, if that's what you get (w...

Try the following in the part [ctrl][shift]u followed by [ctrl][shift]m

Do your get your multirests back?

Make sure there are no bars marked with 'split multirest' markers.

Here:. engraving rules.png If you don't know where anything is, can I suggest you read the manual? Press F1 with Sibelius open (or click the little ? at top right) it contains all sorts of useful info, including a comprehensive list of keyboard shortcuts, some examples of things you need to know and...
