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

Is there any way to Sibelius recognize tab chords (and Symbols) as they are already written, and convert them into chord diagrams automatically?
I have the score too...
Many thanks

Yes - well there is a plugin called Add Chord symbols which does some analysis of your selected chords (including Tab) and adds the chord symbols to the staves. It's then a simple matter to show chord diagrams, by a right click on the staves in question.

Not sure how good this plugin is in a real-life situation, but it certainly worked in reverse for some chords I had 'realised' from the symbols.
