Also, if a system object is not in the first bar of a rest, it can often be hidden.

Re: Registration on replacement desktop

What is the OS of your new machine? If it's a Mac with Big Sur give up now.

If it is windows, you will have to raise a case with Avid registration support http://avid.force.com/Support/RegistrationCaseCreation

: the lower G is only sustained a beat and the high C is restruck.
FYI, your original image showed a dotted minim G and no second high C - not that it matters - the answer was found.

Re: way to notate arpeggios across staves

I'm confused! I posted a full reply to this query a few hours ago and it seems to have disappeared. I wouldn't run the arp line to top/bottom of the staves. See image. Top note in voice 3, [ctrl][shift][uparrow] onto upper staff, lengthen (drag) the stem to hit the lower notes. Use the arpeggio on t...

Don't forget - you need to turn off magnetic layout for the slur if you are cross-staffing it.

Re: Is this possible?

Ok, I lied!

Your question intrigued me. Does the following file help?

It's in Sib 7 format. If you need it earlier, just let me know.

Re: Flexi-Time Count-In Tempo

Of course, you could just move the new tempo marking back a couple of bars, temporarily...?

Re: Is this possible?

The best way to do it would be to use an external graphics or publishing program, get it saved as an svg and import it into Sibelius.

Re: Flexi-Time Count-In Tempo

Without seeing the score, we can only guess what is going wrong. My first thought is that your tempo mark is attached to the wrong place or that the slider in the transport panel is not in the middle. Check the tempo showing in the transport panel to see if it shows 60. Also, if the previous piece i...

Re: What would be the correct notation in this situation?

Although in earlier versions of sibelius it was easier to do cross staff slurs (I'm talking version 4/5/6) they can still be done, but it's a bit of a faff. This is one area, I think, where sibelius has actually gone backwards.

Whatever you do won't be perfect.

Re: Can't figure out how to remove caesura inbetween staves

That is NOT a caesura!

That is a system separator. You can turn them off here (image)

Re: Using Kontakt sounds in Sibelius Ultimate

I don't use Kontakt with Sibelius because I just found it too fussy. I want to spend my time composing and arranging, not fiddling with the machinery! With every vsti, there is an xml file that is placed in the folder (image) vstfolder.png Be aware that Sibelus does not handle vst3, only vst2 (unlik...
