I don't know what I accidentally touched, but the notice says, "This score is locked for review, etc. To unlock the score click the review mode icon in the status bar at the bottom of the main Sibelius window."

I cannot find the review mode icon. And I don't see a status bar at the bottom of the main Sibelius window. In the bar at the top I can find the Review Mode box, but when I click it, it just gives me the unlocking instructions again, which I don't know how to follow.

Plus all my other scores are now locked! Help!!

Thank you!!!

Haven't got Review Mode in my old version, but here's what I found in the New Features list for Ultimate 2019:

If you can't see the status bar you could try one of the other options. You might be able to see the status bar by moving or hiding the task bar (in Windows), or fiddling with the screen settings. Hope that helps!

Thank you. Actually, after writing my question I turned off the computer and went to bed. Next morning turned it on and the problem was resolved, the score was no longer locked.

But I'm printing out your reply and will save it in case this happens again.

Thanks for your help!

Tom
