Changing tempo during playback

[Recumbentman]

In Sibelius 6 this was easy. How do you do it in Ultimate?

[MikeLyons]

In exactly the same way you did it in 6 - with a tempo mark.

[Recumbentman]

Ah no, in 6 I had a slider that I could move left or right as the score played. Simplicity. Now I don't see a way to type in a different tempo while the playing continues.

[MikeLyons]

That slider was never intended to be used int that way. How do you expect someone playing your music to know the tempo if you don't put a tempo mark in place?

If you are determined to do this, the tempo slider is still on the transport panel.

[Recumbentman]

Now I'm feeling dim. I can't see any slider, apart from the one that makes the staves bigger and smaller.

We all have our own uses for Sibelius. I use it predominantly to make scores and parts of seventeenth-century viol consort music, where tempo is not critical. I rarely have occasion to show or send my scores to anyone else, I just print out the parts and use them in my classes, rehearsals, and sessions. Very useful to be able to print a part in a choice of clefs and so forth.

So I use(d) the slider to check quickly for wrong notes. I can use the fast-forward button on each note, that will have to be my work-around unless there really is a slider I'm not spotting.

The forum isn't allowing me to attach images any more so I've pm'ed you a link.

Is View/Transport not there any more?

[Recumbentman]

Thanks Mike, I got something in my Dropbox, but it is all about where the bar numbers appear, above or below the stave.

[Recumbentman]

Thanks Bob, View/Transport is where it is. Phew.

Just couldn't find that via Sibelius Reference.
