Hi- New to Sibelius.
I have 2020.1 installed, but happened to stumble across the 2018.1 reference guide http://resources.avid.com/SupportFiles/ ... _Guide.pdf

In there, it indicates Home > Edit > Flip and shortcut X.. though I can't find this in the 2020.1 application version.
Did they remove this basic capability from the First version?

Sibelius| First is a totally crippled and limited version - and it's free. You can't expect anything like full functionality. Even some of the most basic functions are missing.

Seems odd that they would remove such a function between First 2018.1 and 2020.1.

Hmmm... seems even the full version isn't all that it's meant to be. Got a chuckle out of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKx1wnXClcI.

Heading over to Dorico for now.

I don't know if you remember the kerfuffle about the double name changes that happened? I no longer know what to expect from Avid.

I'm brand new to Sibelius.. saw a bit of a reference to that in that video I think... but unaware of the details myself.
