Re: How Can I Turn Off Scrolling Text Feature?

Hi. I've heard of this being reported on macs and acknowledged as a bug. I am not certain, but it may have been fixed in 2023.11.1.

Re: Transposing from bass clef to treble clef

If you're playing euphonium - the god if all instruments - you're automatically a musician! :D :D :D

Re: Transposing from bass clef to treble clef

Input the notes from the part in non-transposing (bass clef) mode. I'd create a score using euphonium bass clef.

Then add a staff for euphonium Bb treble clef copy all the notes to it. Open the treble clef part and print that.

Re: Noteperformer 1.5 not working on Sibelius

NotePerformer has been re-designed twice since your version and I am fairly sure you can't make it work with later versions if sibelius, which has also undergone a number if structural changes - one of which IIRC has to do with locations of vst files and folders. I'm afraid your only choice is to up...

Re: Playback Tempo Not Saved In Scores

If it's still proving intractable, please put it into a zip file and attach here or email it to the address in my signature and I'll have a look.

You don't say which version of the MacOS you are using. As Andy says, it might not be compatible with 2020.3.

Re: Saving a part as a pdf defaults to "Untitled"

If you have typed a title into the title field in the score info page, it will generally default to that. If you don't give the piece a title when you set it up, it doesn't have anything to substitute. If you believe you have given the piece a title, make sure you typed it into the Score info page f...

Re: playback won't.

Hi Steven and happy new year. "Ultimate " is no longer sufficient description for your sib version. Since apple [spit,] have been mucking about with their OSs, we need to know your EXACT version. Eg, mine is Ultimate 2023.11.1. The same thing applies to your mac os. Are you on sonoma, sierra, ventur...

Re: Playback Tempo Not Saved In Scores

1. Turn off live playback.
2. Make sure you use Tempo text style ([ctrl][alt]t - on windows)
3. Leave the slider alone. It is only for "quick and dirty" checks and it is not retained between sessions.

Re: show chord symbols in every part

I'm not at my computer at the moment, but I believe you can set one of the text properties to transpose.
See if you can find it. I'll have a look myself when I've had breakfast.

Re: Finding The Correct Notes On Keyboard Controller

Let's get something straight right from the outset. SIBELIUS IS NOT A DAW. Now, having said that, you have to understand that, as a notation program, Sibelius treats percussion differently. It has something called a drum map, that places the various parts of a drum kit on the "correct" line or space...

Re: Piano Finger Numbers

Have you heard the phrase "You get what you pay for and you pay for what you get"? The free version of sibelius is extremely crippled by omissions and unavailable features. In the full version, you would be able to create a new text style to place fingerings under the staff, based on the existing fi...

Re: "clear" key num pad Mac

There are a number of different reasons this could be happening. The mapping of the keys across different languages seems to be very inconsistent on macs. You might have to change the mapping yourself. Unfortunately, I don't have (and don't want) a mac so I can't tell you how to do that.
