The Sibelius Forum

That is a hit point. It is not related to anything other than its position in the score. You can turn them on and off on the Play tab of the ribbon.

No. You need to read the section of the manual on Dynamic parts. With the score in front of you, press the letter w. It will (usually) open a tab showing the top part. You can edit the format and layout of the part without affecting the layout of the score and vice versa. Altering the pitch or lengt...

Might I suggest that, if you want the custom tuning and other features, you buy the full version, or perhaps the version now known just as Sibelius, rather than expect these in the free version!

You should not have two parts with an identical name, even if they are identical parts. This is what is confusing sibelius. Rename the parts in the score. Just some thoughts: Other people's understanding of the terminology can often be confusing. Which version of sib and which os are you using as th...

Your image does not appear to have attached.

Which version of sib are you on? I remember this was an issue with both NP and Sib sounds in version 7.x and 8.x. It also happens with flz and with some of the jazz articulations. Sometimes the next note or a note much further into the music will also develop a trill/flutter tongue/gliss/doit etc wh...

To be quite honest, until a short time ago, this forum was pretty much moribund. It had it's hayday in the early days of sib and, for various reasons, became a haven for those who had cracked versions of sib or for those who loathe Avid enough that they can't bear to be associated with them. Even no...

Select the notes/bars you want to affect. Press the appropriate articulation button on the 4th keypad layout.

Are you viewing a part? Press w. Does this return you to the score?

There's always the famouse "Behind Bars" by Elaine Gould. Get the hardback, tough, the Kindle version is really difficult to read on screen (at least it is for me!).

OK, I understand. the short answer is no. There is no automatic shortcut to this. However, why do you consider this to be wrong? It is syncopation which is very common. If it's purely a matter of style, then consider which is clearer - unless you are rescoring music that needs to be written in a cer...

Select it and delete
If you want it to be invisible, insert an invisible barline in its place.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the question. Can you explain what you want more thoroughly?

I think you are wrong about the interpretation. The dotted quaver/semiquaver pattern should be played as written. The SQ will strike just after the start of the last triplet quaver.

There are plugins by Bob Z that make the process easier. You can find them in the list of sib plugins or through File->plugins->Install plugins. Intelligent ties and Ties into 2nd ending.
