Hi. When I first turn on my Sibelius, the first page that appears on my screen is called "Quick Start." If I've been working on 5 songs lately, when "Quick Start" opens, the 1st pages of those 5 songs apear on the screen under the heading "Recent." And below that is a heading for "This Month" and then "Older."

This is an extremely handy page to have because I can easily locate and access whatever song I need.

The problem is when I leave this page and go into Sibelius and start working on something I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BRING THE "QUICK START" PAGE BACK!!! I have to turn off Sibelius, wait a little while and then turn it back on, and up pops the "Quick Start" page. But there must be an easier way than that to call up Quick Start! Does anyone know how??

Thanks for any help!
Tom

The clue is in the name! It's called Quick Start because it is displayed when you first start the program.
If you only have one file open at a time, sibelius will display the quick start page when you close that file. If you have multiple files open, you should use File-->Recents to display a list of recently opened files.

In the File menu, click 'New'. The Quick Start page should appear.

You can also click 'Recent' in the same menu.
