Chord Symbols in Sib 2019
Posted: Wed Nov 06, 2019 5:37 am
I have been using Sib on a PC since v1 up to v8.8 until now. On buying a new Windows 10 computer I had to buy the latest version of Sib 2019.9 Ultimate.
I write mainly big band and combo charts and there are very few improvements since v7 and some annoyances such as:
1/ I want to add chord symbols into an extracted part without them changing to orange colour and/or transposing.
2/ I used to be able to write a chord symbol exactly how I wanted it to appear in either the part or the score and right click to open a menu to find and add embellishments such as b5#9 etc - this is no longer available? So is it possible to reload a previous version of chord entry and if so, how?
3/ I am finding the taking over of chord symbol entry by the program VERY annoying, ie I can't get rid of the 4 in sus4 and if I write Db9#7 it won't appear as an Opus font but Arial and in red colour as attached!
