Deleting notes
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 3:10 am
Hi there, I'm new to Sibelius 7 after using Finale for quite some time.
Most note input options seem to be a lot easier and I'm slowly getting the hang of the changes, however I want to know if there is way to delete notes in Sibelius 7 without replacing them with a rest?
In Finale, if I had 4 quarter notes in a bar and wanted to remove the 2nd one, I could delete it and it would shift the 3rd and 4th notes back so that they now become the 2nd and 3rd notes. If I select the note in Sibelius and hit backspace or delete, it simply replaces the note with a rest. I can't seem to find any way of getting rid of that rest so that the other notes in the bar take its place. Is there something simple that I'm missing?
Hope that made sense...! Any help would be greatly appreciated
