Suddenly (but maybe I did something inadvertently) my keyboard functions are all awry. I have an added KB keyboard cover for Sibelius, but the strangest things happen, for instance, clicking"Undo" brings the "Symbol" window forward, and pressing "hide" brings a decrescendo! I've been to Sibelius Preferences and chosen "Keyboard Shortcuts" but cannot figure out what to do. Someone, please help me!

I don't know much about these things, but they seem to just be overlays that give you more info about keyboard shortcuts. They don't AFAICT interact with the built-in KB. Therefore, check your language and keyboard type settings in your OS.

And as you're on Sibelius 8, we should ask if you've upgraded to Big Sur. If so, expect odd issues as they are not compatible.

That was going to be the next thing I suggested. If that is the case then you either have to upgrade your Sibelius to Ultimate 2021.2 or go to an earlier macos.
