This is something I'd like to see in Sibelius, which I would have thought was both useful and relatively easy to implement. At present if select a note or a...
This almost is possible at the moment. If your chord is C E G you can just press 8 on the number pad to pake them all sharps (ie C# chord). If you wanted Db F...
what about being able to select a specific mode of transposition, like harmonic minor, lydian mode, where the tonic/centre, would need to be designated. don't ...
Would this work? Write your top line only on the appropriate stave, then copy the whole lot onto x other staves (4 others in your case?); then transpose each...
Wow, that is slick. The G5 laptops can't be far behind. My only concern would be that here in earthquake country, or anywhere with kids around, that the...
Thanks for the suggested workrounds for my chromatic transposition request, but they still do not really fit the bill. ... My chords are a bit more crunchy...
I have never noticed this before, but today I inserted a metronome marking of h. = 60 and Sibelius started playing at a tempo faster than q=180 After adjusting...

I am discovering more: I change the tempo in the slider and my marking has no effect. I close and re-open the file and it plays back correctly .. Is there a...

I take it the dot is deliberate; h.=60 is q.=120, which is e=360, and therefore q=180. But your playback is *faster* than 180bpm according to your message,...
If I move the slider, does that override all tempo marking until I restart the program? I think that is the problem I am having. I am changing the tempo to...
... "Modern Art Installation The iMac offers the smallest footprint ever, but you can make that zero with an optional VESA mount. Hang it from the wall or...
Oh, absolutely. Touch the slider and you've had it, unless you carefully position it so it matches your metronome marking; as I recall (and I can't check...

The same can be said for all rhythm section parts - unless those players happen to be 12 year olds who have no previous playing experience(s) other than...
... Not too sure its a good thing to write a part for a drum kit, unless its for a playing score in Sibeius. When I write for kids at school a drum part, I've...
First off everything I've read so far on this topic makes sense. Adrian is right when the thought of written out parts is applied to experienced players....
