I used to be able to select a chord, and go to "Filters" and choose filter top note, bottom note, etc...

Now it doesn't exist in the "Filters" menu? What happened? How do I get that back?

I took a screenshot of where this always existed in my previous versions of Sibelius, and now that I have upgraded to the newest version, it no longer shows up in the "Filters" menu. Trying to upload a screenshot and now that is even giving me a load of trouble. Extremely frustrated by all of this.

Edit: Just also discovered... In the "Add Bar" pull down menu, now I can only add a single bar, or add bar to the end. Gone is the option of adding "Other" where you can type in a number for how many bars you can add.

What happened to my menus? :twisted:

This forum will only take very small imges - less than 100k.

If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Sibelius, did you buy Sibelius or Sibelius Ultimate. If you've been used to Sib 6/7/8 then 'upgrading' to plain Sibelius is actually a serious DOWNgrade.

You've got to be shitting me... So I "updgrade" to the latest version, and it takes out extremely basic functions?

I wish I was shitting you. So many, many people have been caught out by this stupidity.

The current Sibelius is the equivalent of what was called Sibelius|First.
Sibelius ULTIMATE is the equivalent of the old Sibelius
Sibelius|First is now the free, totally wrecked and gutted version.

The good news is that you can contact AVID, try Justin.tokke@avid.com or ingrid.guce@avid.com, and they may be able to sort out your issue.
