I don't use the ESC key much except in Sibby 6, but I just tried it on YouTube and, no, it's not working there, either. So, it's got something to do with the new Snow Leopard. Being a musician and not a tech-savy person, I could use some help about this problem. Thanks in advance...

Hi - Just upgraded to Snow Leopard on my iMac, went to use the ESC key in Sibby 6, and...nothing...dead in the water. Went to Preferences and tried to re-input it for my own set of keyboard shortcuts...no could do. All they had was the "clover key" (never sure what that's called) and a "period" (.)....

Maybe that's something the Sibby boys could fix. Possibly make these numbers translucent?

Thanks for the reply, but doing that switches off the bar numbers completely. I'd like to be able to refer to them and want to raised them about the top staff, getting them out of the way of the other markings.

Any other suggestions? Thanks

Hi - Love Sibby 6 on my iMac, but for the last year, I've been "living" with those small bar numbers that appear in what I call the "scroll" view (never ending...). I finally started to explore a way to raised them up so they wouldn't interfere with the chord symbols, tempo markings, etc, but I have...

Hi - I'm a fairly fast user, but somehow I think I hit a keyboard combination that turned off the 1 bar count-off when using Flexi-time. I checked the Fleix-time Options but found nothing about a count-off. Anybody know how to solve this? Thanks in advance...

I'm writing an extended part for piano. Both hands are playing the same note an octave apart. Is there a simple method for just playing in the octaves, hitting a "magic plug-in" and have the stems go up on the right and and down on the left? I know I can input using two voices, but it would be much ...

Just downloaded to my iMac Core Duo GPO 4, installing all as suggested. I followed all instructions and had it installed with no problem. However, I couldn't find the GPO application. I did find Aria Player in my applications. Read that you had to start Sibby, then open up GPO in Sibby. Opened Sibby...

Hi - I've got about 3.75 GB of Sibelius and PDF files. I'd like to get a firewire (400) external hard drive for back-up. With this small amount, a 500GB would be more fine though a bit of an over kill. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've got a vocal quartet. I can put it into an mp3 or similar. I want to write an orchestral arrangement for it and have both the quartet and the arrangement, using the instruments in Sibby 6, put onto an mp3. How do I go about doing this? I've got DP5. Should (or can I) import the sound file to it,...

Great! Thanks for the Info - Worked like a charm!!!

I would like to have the D.S. and Coda symbols larger. When I enlarge the type, it enlarges these symbols, but it enlarges the written "D.S. al coda," etc. as well.

Weird - I was running Sibby 6 and wanted to boot up DP5. Wouldn't work. DP5 started to boot, "beach ball" went 'round, but the it just quit-no info box or question box. Then I quit Sibby 6 and booted DP5 with no problem. Any ideas? Can these two programs run on an iMac 2.16 GHz Core Duo (1.5 Gig) at...

Hi, all - Is it possible to change chords, enharmonically? I use the"H" on the keyboard for notes as a shortcut, but when I select notes and chords and use the "H", only the notes change. Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the info. I tried it and, bingo, it worked. The only other difficulty I have is blank bars in the middle of a group of 4 or 8 or so that don't group together. Someone suggested the "Where is it" in the Plugin area. I've tried saving the actual notes in other staves, deleting the entire me...
