Hi all. So, I'm wondering if Sibelius can be set to produce a numeric result in Advanced Filter?
Basically not only do I want Sibelius to show where in the score a given idea appears (as it already does- depending on parameters set in Advanced Filter), I want it to show how many times this idea appears in the piece.

If this can't be done, can anyone think of a good workaround?

Thanks.

I'm not aware of any way of making it count, like 'Find' does in, say, a Word document, listing 'x of x items found'. So.... back to basics.

1) eyes
2) brain
3) count

:D

Part of all higher level theory exams, of course, but a pain if there are hundreds of bars.
