Hi

When I add 8 or 16 bars using right-click > Bar > Other..., Sibelius always adds 6 bars per system. Is there a way to make it add 4 bars per system? That's how I format lead sheets.

Thank You

You and almost everyone else who creates lead sheets!

The setting is only available in Sibelius Ultimate (and versions before the First/Sibelius/Ultimate fiasco). It's under Layout-->Autobreaks
