Laurence Payne's Sibelius FAQ
last updated February 2021

Frequently Asked Questions, incorporating 'Things I Thought Everybody Knew!' arising from questions asked on the Sibelius forum or the Sibelius mail list. Or even the various Sibelius-related Facebook groups. Though I prefer to work in a forum where sib files can be freely attached to queries and replies.

There's a Cubase FAQ page too, though I haven't updated it for some time.

This is fun!

1. Registration and download issues.

You used to need a Serial Number (typically starting with SCEP, SCEE etc.) to register your copy of Sibelius. Current versions of Sibelius 7 have moved to a System ID and Activation ID method.

If you need them because you are installing a second instance of Sibelius 7, go to File/Help in your first installation where they are displayed. Note that System ID is specific to your licence, not to any particular computer. You use the same numbers on both your installations.

If you haven't got an already-installed Sibelius 7 to look at, go to http://www.sibelius.com/helpcenter/upgrades.html and start the procedure to download the latest Sibelius update. Your old Serial Number will get you started. On the next page, you'll be given your System and Activation numbers. This time, make a note of them!

There's another page more specifically aimed at Sibelius users at:
http://www.sibelius.com/documents/contact_form.html
When you type in a question, it attempts to show you a relevant Knowledge Base article. Sibelius have stated that they would prefer you took this route for ' all non-technical support queries i.e. helping people buy/upgrade/register/activate Sibelius.'

Registration support for all Avid products is at:
http://avid.force.com/Support/RegistrationCaseCreation
It's free, no ASC required, and they can sort it out.

They also seem sympathetic to users who have upgraded from Sibelius 6 to Sibelius 7 but want to install both versions on a new computer - maybe for access to the Sibelius 6 Sounds, both as an alternative set of samples and as a much less demanding device than Sibelius 7 Sounds. But you must have BEEN a Sibelius 6 owner, if you bought in at Sibelius 7, the answer's no!

If you bought Sibelius 7 online, you can download the installation files again from your account at:
http://account.avid.com

Or you should be able to. Things seem to be changing.. (8 Feb 2014) Watch this space!

2. Make a duplicate Part in another transposition.

Someone wanted to print a Bb Treble Clef Euphonium Part as well as a concert pitch Bass Clef Euphonium one.

Update. This is good for Sibelius 6. But Erik Hagner reminds us that this procedure is automated in Sibelius 7. Just open a Part then use 'Parts/Copy and change instrument'

Go to Parts/ New Part.

On the left is the list of instruments in your score. Click Euphonium across to the right hand column.

Look in the Parts list. You now have two identical Euphonium parts.

Open one of them. Click an Instrument Change to 'Euphonium, Treble Clef' (from Home/ Instruments/ Change) into the space just before the first stave.

3. Gap before bar - global removal

Sometimes an imported file has those annoying Gaps Before Bar at the end of each line. When the music reflows (first thing to do to an imported file is generally Select All then Unlock Format) you get a split stave and extra clef in the middle of a line. You can go through the score selecting the bar after each unwanted gap and, in the Inspector, set its Gap Before Bar to zero. Even better, there's a downloadable plugin (by Bob Zawalich) 'Gap before bar' that will remove them wholesale. Or, for a quick trick, Select All, then R (for Repeat). The appended copy of your score won't have the gaps. Delete the unwanted first half, and you're done.
Update: The latest version of 'Gap before bar'also deals with Gap AFTER bar. Sometimes the right-hand end of a stave gets stuck off-screen. We can now pull it back without having to temporarily increase the page width in order to be able to grab it. Nice one!
The Gaps can also be caused by you having tried to adjust margins by dragging the ends of staves around. All very well until the music re-flows for some reason and what was an end-of-stave is now middle-of-stave. So don't do that then!
Gaps Before Bar have their uses, but try not to introduce them by mistake.

4. Expand or contract spacing

A selected passage (or whole score selected with Ctrl-A) can have its spacing expanded or contracted by pressing Shift-Alt-RightArrow or Shift-Alt-LeftArrow. If you're doing this to get fewer or more bars on a line, don't forget to Unlock Format (Shift-Ctrl-U) first.

5. 4 bars to a line and Proportional Spacing

4 bars to a line. Frequently asked for. Not always a good idea. But easy to achieve - it's the first option in Layout/Auto Breaks. It's the default setting for Parts in some of the supplied Manuscript Paper templates. A questionable decision.

4 bars to a line with the bars aligned is a bit harder. Bob Zawalich's plugin 'Proportional Spacing' sets Appearance/House Style/Note Spacing Rule to appropriate figures. Here is an example of some slightly more aggressive settings. If your notation includes accidentals, key signatures etc. you may have to reduce the staff size quite a bit (and/or reconsider how many bars to a line are practical) before Sibelius stops insisting on allocating extra space for these items.

And there's always the trick of adding a hidden voice and filling it with semiquavers. But don't try to do it by dragging the barlines around. That never ends well.

If uniform layout is of paramount importance and if playback doesn't matter you could add additional instruments until one system fills the whole page. Bar lines will then be perfectly aligned. You'll probably want to remove the initial barline.

6. Repeat Text

There is often confusion over how to create functioning D.C, D.S, Coda etc. notation, and which Text Styles to use.

Tempo Text and Repeats text are both System Text styles, and both work for DC, DS, al Coda, Coda and Fine. The difference is: Tempo Text left-aligns to its attachment point, Repeats Text right-aligns. Attach “Allegro” to the beginning of a score and switch it between Tempo Text and Repeats Text – you’ll see what I mean.

As alignment is a property of the Text Style, this explains why Sibelius requires you to choose “Coda” from a differe
