Verses of different rythm

Sibelius beginners can discuss all things Sibelius here ("how do I...?").

How do I enter additional verses of different rhythms to a Sibelius score - I would like to play back this score and have the correct notes sound.
Traditionally in printed sheet music these extra notes are displayed in a slightly smaller font size so how do I reduce the size just for those notes.

Use a different Voice for the notes you want to appear smaller, and once you've input them, make them Cue Sized.

Thank you andyg-

In doing what you suggested I came across a 'right key' select option.

When one right clicks on a note and chooses 'Inspector' the options for all my needs are meet there except one - this score has three verses with the first starting at bar five and concludes at bar twenty, the remaining two start at bar four and also finish at bar twenty, how do I get Sibelius to play the first verse and then repeat next two (from bars four to twenty).

Consulting the on-line reference is not to clear on this respect.



Regards.
