I'm trying to enter lyrics. A problem has developed. This is that as I enter the text certain letters result in a shortcut being activated. For example, entering 'I' opens a window to select a new instrument. 'w' selects a single instrument screen.
I've used Sibelius for quite a few years and have not seen this before. I have recently upgraded my computer to a MacMini.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks
John
