Hi there,

I just created a new score, and whatever I try, it looks like a bloody mess. The lyrics are overlapping, rests are overlapping measures, and I don't know what the problem is. Can someone please help me?

Warm regards!

You're trying to cram too much on each system and you have forced Sibelius to do something it doesn't want to.

Unlock Format and let Sibelius flow the music. Or reduce the staff size and lyric text size.

Notation in Bar 2 looks bad. Your knowledge of music theory should tell you why! :wink:
