writting notes without a staff

I want to write some rhythms and have them print on a blank piece of paper, not on a staff. I know there are images for quarter, half and eighth notes etc. but I need to write music that uses beams, not just a quarter note or eighth note. Is there some way to hide the staff and keep the notes that y...

last version of Sibelius

I have paid for lifetime use of the ultimate version of Sibelius and also paid the $140 this year to get the latest upgrade, which I haven't tried to download. I have 16.82 GB of memory left on my mac book Pro out of 121 GB total. Will I have enough memory to download and use the newest version of S...

Re: moving the bottom staff

Here is another screen shot. I can't move any of the top staves any higher.

I saved the screen shot as a JPEG, so you should be able to see this.

Re: moving the bottom staff

I think an HEIC file is the smallest - 197 KB. The HEIC file is greyed out, so I can't upload it. All the other formats are about the same size, around 725KB. It seems to me that is a pretty small file. What is the largest file that Sibelius Forum can upload? I took a screen shot of only part of the...

moving the bottom staff

See the screen shot. When I try to add a screen shot, it says the file is too large. How do I make it smaller?

Re: staff spacing

Thanks for the suggestions. Is there a way to change a setting so that the top staff of a two staff system, when appearing at the bottom of the page, can be moved at will, rather than being allowed to move only to a certain spot? I want to move it higher, but it won'tlet me move it higher. Also, whe...

Changing a time signature

I am trying to change the time signature from 4/4 to 5/4. After selecting the bar that I want the change to occur in, I select the "Time Signature" under Notations, the time signature choices don't drop down for me select one. It seems like it always used to do that. What is the problem? (Next Day) ...

staff spacing

Sometimes when I print music, the bottom staff of the bottom system is cut off. To fix this, I try to move the bottom system up just a bit. The manual explains that I am supposed to be able to do this manually by (1) selecting the staff (2) shift click and drag the staff where I want it. When using ...

rest notation

I have a piece with 9 measures rest at the beginning. I condensed it so the music shows a 9 above a rest sign rather than show 9 separate rest bars. This worked on the 1st and 2nd flute parts, but on the 3rd flute part, it notated 2 rests, one for 3 measures and one for 6 measures. I couldn't get th...

Re: staff spacing

My requirements are to move a staff where I want to. Setting it at 100% still doesn’t allow me to move a staff anywhere I want to. There is still something blocking it. I can’t find what it is. I’m sure it is not a margin setting. I have not yet experimented with other settings. Could the “magnet” s...

Re: staff spacing

Thank-you. This helps, but whether this is set to 0 or 100, the staff still is blocked from moving it where I want it when I use the sift key to move a staff. Is there a way to unblock this?

staff spacing

I continue to have issues with staff spacing although I have used Sibelius for many years. I understand the "Staff Spacing" in the ribbon at the top and it does OK, but sometimes just as you think you get it right, the bottom staff jumps off the bottom of the page. It moves smoothly and then all of ...
