Hi everyone,
I'm using Sibelius First and as far as I can tell I am limited to two voices per stave. I need four. So two questions:

1) Am I correct in my belief that I can only input two voices, and if not, how can I achieve four?
2) If I'm right, what is the cheapest version of Sibelius that I need to install to be able to input four voices per stave?

Thanks
Mark

The way to check how many voices you can have is to select a note and press [alt]3 or [alt]4 (PC, don't know the Mac shortcuts. If your note shows orange or pink, then you can have four voices.

However, if you look here https://www.avid.com/sibelius-ultimate/comparisonyou can clearly see what version you need.
Sib 6.2, 7.5 and 2023.6, Windows 11, 32GB RAM, 16TB 7200RPM Storage, 2TB SSD, Note Performer 3.3.2, EWQLSO, EWQLSC, Harmony Assistant and some others. mike@mike-lyons.co.uk

You need Sibelius or Sibelius Ultimate to get 4 voices.
