The Sibelius Forum

I second this problem... Any help?

The big differences are: note-spacing, layouting (collisions) and the most important one: look of shapes, that is: the FONTS. As long as you stick with Opus or Maestro or Helsinki or Engraver or whatever, the result will never be that satisfying imho. Try learning to create your own custom fonts, lo...

If you want them all to appear above the staff:

Go to House Style > Engraving Rules (or hit Ctrl+Shift+E)
Under Articulation: select Always above.

Done.

You might want to check if the verses are put in the right Text Style.
(Verse 1 = Lyrics line 1 etc.)

I thought I'd mastered Sibelius far advanced enough to solve this, but there still is something: Can there be any way (unlike what the Reference says) to change the position of articulations concerning the side of the slurs? Marcato marks (>) should be outside slurs, and I currently see no way of ha...

have a look at these 2 pdf-files: http://www.audiograffiti.com.au/tip_software.htm

good luck!

You simply don't have to left-click.
1- Ctrl-E (or right-click, Expression)
2- right-click and the pop-up menu appears
3- click away

Step 2 and 3 can be omitted by using the shortcuts: Ctrl-F for forte, Ctrl-P for piano marking, etc.

Good luck!

Hello. Thank you for your response. I do not know where to find engraving options? ctrl E will give you the dynamics options. Are you refering to using sibelius on a pc? which is what I am using. If you more info to lead me to what you are refering I would like knowing. thank you I'm sorry, it's Ct...

Have a look at the Engraving Options (Ctrl-E if you use Windows).
You should find something like "Use System Dividers if _8_ systems or more appear on one page". (I don't have Sib. on this pc, so I don't know the exact phrase)
Turn of that option, and it's done.

Good luck.

Maybe that's the safest option. If i plays back wrong on my pc, there must be a bug on your Sibelius version and/or pc and/or configuration.

If 2 instruments share the same channel, Sibelius has got to choose between them, so some notes won't playback.
There may be something at your soundcard, or an option that is not set well.

If you don't mind, korneel.bernolet@gmail.com ...
Thanks a lot!

I think you can set this in the Engraving Rules (Ctrl-Shft-E).
Otherwise, to do it manually: select the last bar of a system you want, go to the Properties options (the little menu at the right of the screen), hit Bars and choose System Break.

Hope this helps

To reset the space above all staves (and system), hit Ctrl-A to select all music, and go to the Layout Menu > Reset Space Above Systems. If you want to change the space for just one system, double click a bar of a stave in that system, so only thàt stave in thàt system is selected. Then drag it to t...
