@Jeremy: Ok, we both know what we are talking about. But still, not giving people the option to fully customize Sibelius will always leave a strange taste for me. Why not? Do they really think people are too dumb and will mess everything up? Well then just program a Text-Info "You are about to chang...

Hi Jeremy. ok, this is a workaround. Thank you. But I still find it a bit unsatisfying. Why not under HouseStyle>Edit Chord Symbols let the user create his own chord symbols? Everything needed is there. Just add an option: Create new Chord Symbol. Existing symbols can be edited in detail, too. And t...

Chord Symbol: how to create an diminished chord with flat 13

Hi all, Sibelius 6 is still quite new for me and I can't figure out how to do this. I read thru the Reference 2.10 Chord Symbols, but couldn't find any info on my specific chord (Eb07b13). In the Reference there is a list of what Sibelius allows the user to enter via the Keyboard and then automatica...

This is a known issue.

I just tried to reproduced this error but all the files I tried worked fine. This is a known issue with the Sibelius team and it seems they only take a small portion of the fault for this problem. The big error lies in some Apple System-Configuration which could not be figured out up till now. Maybe...

@Jeremy Hughes: Thanks for the reference. I'll answer my initial post partly myself so others with similar problems can see what helped me: - - - Initial problem was: No playback devices appearing in "Play"->"Playback Devices". I found a solution to that: 1) Restart computer 2) Trash the 'PlogueEngi...

And if this isn't the official forum, where are we right here??? Because all the sibelius pages go like: www.sibeliuseducation.com or www.s...

That's quite easy.

Go To:
-> File
-> Export
-> Sibelius 2, 3, 4, 5...

Then choose whichever version you need to export.

Cheers,

Did I just read correctly?

$199.95 for a plug-in to export Sibelius-files to a format which Finale can read?

Wow, I guess both companys could use some competition and after a year or so exchange between both would work. Stressing "would" because there IS no competition...

This forum is so strange (besides being very sloooowww) because it doesn't devide PC and MAC questions/forums If you are on a mac just go to - print (cmd+P) then choose - PDF -> Save as That's it.

I never managed to use Sibelius for writing Drum-Sheets. Not with any version from 3 to 5 (haven't tried 6 yet). And I did each step described in the reference and nothing happend at all. Not even the noteheads changed, let alone editing the sounds. That was so frustrating. The funniest thing was, w...

Sibelius 6 and Kontakt Player

I just upgraded to Sibelius 6 and now I have massive trouble getting the sounds to work. I used Sibelius since 3.0 and just ignored the sounds because I never could manage to get them to work. But this time I want to do it right. I installed Sib 6 and Sibelius Sound Essentials and now I have several...
