The Sibelius Forum

Mike thanks for your reply and no offense taken. What exactly do you mean "it's my computer and filing system"?

To get to my scores in Sibelius I would click on File>Open> a window would open and I would click on the down arrow at the top of the page. When the little window opened with a menu I would choose Sibelius Scores and all my scores would open. That little window with a menu does not have Sibelius Sco...

Thanks Mike.

I know Cmd-Z is Undo last action command but, what does ctrl-shift-Z do?

Thanks for the input guys. Didn't know about [ctrl][shift]z. What does [ctrl][cmd]z do?

I'm sure many of you have done the same thing I've done many times.....which is: after you write something in Sibelius you FORGET to hit the ESC button and SAVE button and you start typing or playing in notes again and erase what you just wrote in. Sound familiar? OK the question is, is there a way ...

This is weird. My keyboard controller is connected to my computer via USB and it always worked fine until today. Don't know why. When I play certain keys on the keyboard I'm getting two notes. If I play a D, I'm getting D and D#. If I go up a 6th to Bb, I'm getting Bb and B. The keys in between thes...

Yes, it helped. That's how to do it. I notice that certain things won't allow the numbers to move up. Like dynamic markings, crescendo markings so you can move the numbers independently of each others. Thanks KJ.

In my parts the bar numbers are under the staff and I want to get them closer. They are to far down. I want them just under the staff. I looked in Engraving Rules and Number Bars, but couldn't understand it. Maybe someone here can. Thanks.

Mike, thanks for you quick reply. I understand exactly what you're saying and I just went to Clear Recent Documents. I don't think I should have done that. Now Quick Start is empty so, how do I open my scores? As I said above I would go to File (not File in a score), the one in upper left hand corne...

Well, I just upgraded from Mojave to Catalina OS on my Mac and of course there is a problem. The problem is Sibelius won't open. Well, that's not completely true. Sibelius does in fact open, it's my scores that don't open. Well, that's not completely true either. You know when you open Sibelius the ...

Mike, as it turns out I met a fellow Sibelius user on youtube and he knew how to find and install the plugin I was looking for. This explanation only has relevance for people who use Sibelius.....I think. I'll explain it here if anyone wants to use this fantastic plugin. Here goes: Open up Sibelius ...

Mike, thanks for your great response. I understand what you're saying, but don't know quite yet how to go about it since I have a mac. This is gonna take a little bit of time. I'll keep you posted.

The plugin "Make Pitches Constant Drums" is not going into my version of Sibelius version 8.4.2. I'm getting an error message saying "no available application can open it". When I downloaded it from the AVID site it said it's compatible with version 8x. I'm assuming the 8x means it's compatible with...

This looks like what looking for. I'll check it out. Many thanks Mike for you patience and knowledge.
