Every time I open Sibelius, either an existing piece or a new one, I go up to Panels and check three: Keypad, Transport and Mixer. I have repeated this thousands of times. Is there any way to set a default document or a preference, where these three are always already checked, every time I open a document?

You need to open all the panels/windows whatever that you wish to open every time and then use BOTH of these settings in Preferences:

File-->Preferences-->Display-->Custom View Otions
File-->Preferences-->Files-->[Set Custom Size & Position]
Then tick Custom size and position

And would it be possible to define in advance the default choice marks in dialog windows?
To avoid changing every time the starting .appearance of window.
By example, this dialog already marked as Sibelius programmers decided.
Best regards

Well, I appreciate your concise response, though I wish it had been "Yes".
