Re: Adding shorter notes above longer notes without deleting
Use separate Voices! Upper notes go in Voice 1, lower notes in Voice 2. All very clearly explained in the Reference Manual, with much more info than I have time to type. So I'm going to very politely ask you to read that section - working with Voices - and then start inputting the notes. :) If you i...

Re: slur between voice 1 and 2
Use a non-magnetic slur. Press S on the keyboard without selecting a note. Click it into clear space then move it into position. You could perhaps do this just once then copy and paste further examples.

Re: removing chord symbol word modifiers
Use Legacy Chord symbols. There's a preference setting for it somewhere!

Re: extract multiple instruments from mp3 to sibelius
Yes, audio to notation (or MIDI) is still pretty much a myth. Well played monophonic lines, OK. Anything complex, any app or programme will either struggle or often just fail! Choose one instrument in the track and try to concentrate on it. If you load the track into something like Audacity, you can...

Re: Locking sections of a score.
I've never found such a feature. So we're back to the old school way of doing things. Ctrl-S (Cmd-S for you) before you make any major changes, Ctrl-S frequently, and if you're going to 'experiment' with a score, then work on a copy. Sibelius does have Autosave (though don't rely on such features in...

Re: Sibelius First Alternate Guitar Tuning
Just remember that this is a very old, unofficial site, despite the name! There are only three Sibelius users answering questions when we can, initials KJP, ML and me, AG. The forum is not moderated and therefore be wary of replies with links. There has been plenty of spam over recent years! I'd sug...

Re: Sibelius 8 change beam on groups of notes
It should do this automatically. Have a read through the Reference where it deals with beaming and it will give you some detailed advice. I have Sibelius 7, so for me it's T for time signatures, then More Options, then Beam and Rest Groups. But you can also select the third note in the bar, go to Ke...

Re: ketpad missing
It might help to know exactly what version of Sibelius you're using, rather than just 'ultimate', and the version of the Mac O/S you're running. Older versions of Sibelius aren't compatible with later Mac O/S, throwing up all sorts of odd issues.

Re: Paste Shortcut to pre-designated staff
I can't help you with this one. There are only two other people answering questions on this old unofficial site.
I'd recommend that you ask on the official site:

Re: lines freeze in a certain file
I've just checked. 2020.6 is not fully compatible with Monterey 12.1. Its compatibility ended with Big Sur 11. It may work to a point but you can expect to have odd issues of which this may well be one. Do what Mike has suggested and try starting something new to see if the problem persists. If it w...

Re: lines freeze in a certain file
Sounds like the usual Mac issue, where your version of Sibelius is no longer compatible with your Mac O/S. Have you updated your version of the O/S recently? If so, you may need to upgrade to the latest version of Sibelius Ultimate.

Re: New computer activation - Windows 11!
Win 11 will run older versions perfectly. Check what you have done. And make sure that things like audio drivers are up to date. DO NOT just take Windows' word for it - go to the manufacturer's website and update them from there! And if you're using Sibelius Sounds, make sure that you've downloaded,...

It's not been possible to automatically activate older versions of Sibelius for many years.

Re: Changing Tuplet Ratios & Groupings of existing notation
Importing MIDI files is often problematic. You'd almost certainly find it faster to simply re-input the notes as you want them. If you have lots of similar issues throughout the score, correct the first few, then copy and paste the correct tuplet groups and adjust the note pitches as required.

Re: Can't input lyrics and proceed to next note
Apple's updates to operating systems mean that your version of Sibelius 8.2 will never work properly. You have three options: 1) upgrade to the latest version of Sibelius Ultimate 2) revert to a much older Mac Operating System - if that's even possible for your Mac Mini M2 3) buy a Windows laptop an...
