Hello,
Which function of Sibelius do you use to make measures and staves perfectly aligned?
Thanks

Could you be more specific about what you want to achieve? There are several methods for getting things "lined up", all focussed on different aspects of the layout etc ... .

I have a score with a piano stave, and the first note of the top staff sometimes is not aligned with the first note of the second staff below.
What can you I do to make all the notes perfectly aligned?
thanks

From the information you give, it looks rather weird. Normally Sibelius always vertically lines up notes perfectly. The reason is simple: the beats in every staff always line up, therefor the music does also.
Just to be sure that the score is in perfect shape:
- Ctrl+A (= Select all)
- Ctrl+Shift+N (= Reset Note Position)
- Esc (unselect all)
If the problem still occurs, there is something different going on.

Have you created all music using Voice 1, or did you use different voices? Different voices also are offset to eachother. Please let me know.
