Mike let me explain it to you this way. If I have a regular song sheet (a piece of paper)I can write anything I want on it with a pen or pencil any place on the sheet....right?. If I want to remember something about a specific measure I can write something with a pen or pencil above that measure or ...

OK, got it Mike. Now what I would like to do is paste or drag the slash figures to the upper right hand corner of the page (blank part), Is that possible? I tried and can't seem to do it. Thats where I really want it. If this can't be done, is there any other way of doing this like maybe using the c...

Exactly. You nailed it again Mike. Thanks. Sorry Mike I thought I knew this. How do I change the instrument from instrument to no instrument (hidden)?

Mike, thanks so much for you help. It's working! I didn't have the coda wheel before To Coda and also at the Coda. I did check the Repeats and it was set up like yours, so that was OK. Again thanks for your help, I appreciate it. Check out my other post about putting rhythm figures at the top of a p...

Mike can you explain a little better as to what you mean "using symbols instead of text for the coda wheels".
I just changed the "symbol coda wheel" to text "To Coda" and it's still not going to the Coda. Thanks. By the way does this have anything to do with the "Inspector"?

I have D.S. al Coda at the end of my song and the music does indeed go back to the "Sign" and continues on to where it says "To Coda and I have the Coda sign there too", but it does not go to the coda, it just continues on in the song like nothing was there. How do I get it to go to the Coda? I crea...

I want to put rhythmical figures at the top of a page as a reference. No staff, just slash marks, like 1/8 or 1/4 notes on the blank part of the paper. Is this possible? Thanks.

After I record something in Sib. I go to Renotate Performance (quantizing). I used to be able to choose the 1/8 note from the drop down menu. Something changed. The two choices I have now are 1/32 or 1/16. In order to get to the 1/8 note choice, I have to choose 1/16 because the 1/8 choice is not av...

I just figured this out if anyone is interested. I bit the bullet and actually tried reading the manual. First I started reading about Live Tempo which is actually setting the tempo by tapping it in. You can also put in ritards and other things like accelerando. But, what I did was using the metrono...

I'm writing a long piano piece with a couple of tempo changes. Some of it is in 4/4 and some in 3/4. The 4/4 part is faster than the 3/4 part. I tried changing the tempo in the Transport window in the 3/4 part, but it's not slowing down. It will go into 3/4, but the tempo stays the same as the 4/4 p...

Mike, thanks for responding. As you know my question didn't have anything to do with chord symbols, it had to do with the size of the font which you did answer and that creating a manuscript paper was the easiest way to go. Thanks. On another note, I didn't know that this board was "resurrected from...

I thought someone would know the answer to what seems to be a simple question. "Changing the size of chord font". I can make the font larger, but how do I make it as a permanent default at the larger size? Don't want to keep making the chord symbols bigger each time I enter them either in my score o...

I know how to make the chord names above the staff larger in the Text mode, but how do I make the larger size as a default so that every time I type in the chord names they are the new size?
Thanks.

Thanks Mike. Went to Appearance like you suggested and changed the default positions and it worked

When I type in the chord names above the staff they are too high for my liking and I always have to highlight them and pull them down closer to the staff. Is there a way of changing that off set and having the chord names appear closer to the sfaff when I type them in automatically? This would save ...
