How to save custom instruments

I created a new instrument in Sibelius Ultimate (Home tab, click the arrow at the bottom of the Instruments section, click the New Instrument button). As far as I can tell, that new instrument is saved with the score that contains it. How do I save it somewhere where I can use it in other scores? Fo...

Re: Displaying bar numbers in split measures

Ha. Figured it out. You have to use the Change Bar Number command to explicitly assign the "ghosted" bar number to the split measure. This fixes the ghosted bar number, but you need to remember to do this at every split measure. It would be great if Sibelius had a setting that would display the "spl...

Displaying bar numbers in split measures

I've figured this out in the past, but darned if I remember how to do it... it's not obvious. I have a score that displays the bar numbers at the beginning of each staff. If I split a measure and insert a system break at the split point (using Plug-ins->Split Bar), the measure number after the split...

Re: Space between groups of staves

That ([Layout -> Staff spacing -> Reset space above/below]) did the trick. Now the staff spacing immediately reflects changes to the Engraving Rules settings. Thanks!

Space between groups of staves

Piano gap.gif I created a new score that has two voice staves (solo alto and solo baritone) plus piano. As shown above, there is a large gap between the grouped vocal staves and the piano staves. I want to reduce the gap between these groups of staves, but I can't find the setting that does this. I...

Cross-staff lines (NOT beams)

cross-staff line.gif Referring to the above picture, I have moved a left-hand note to the right-hand staff. However, the note isn't beamed to either of its adjacent notes. (If it was, Sibelius would have created a cross-staff beam, which would visually indicate that the D in the right hand is rhyth...
