Some keys are labeled differently on different keyboards, particularly on Mac. For the pur-
poses of this Reference Guide, these are the conventions:

Command Ctrl (“Control”) ^CtrlNone
Shift Shift Option Alt Return Return Enter Enter (on numeric keypad)

Keypad in Sibelius | First, Sibelius, and Sibelius | Ultimate

Sibelius | First, Sibelius, and Sibelius | Ultimate each provide six Keypad layouts: Common notes (F7), More notes (F8), Beams/Tremolos (F9), Articulation (F10), Jazz articulations (F11), and Accidentals (F12). However, not all options available with Sibelius | Ultimate are available Sibelius and Sibelius | First (see
Sibelius | First, Sibelius, and Sibelius |Ultimate).
The Keypad also lets you select which voice in a staff you want to add or edit notes. While Sibelius and Sibelius | Ultimate let you work with up to four voices on a staff, you are limited to two voices with Sibelius | First. For more information about the Keypad, see
3.2 Keypad.

Sibelius | First, Sibelius, and Sibelius | Ultimate and the Ribbon

The contents of the Ribbon differ between Sibelius | First, Sibelius, and Sibelius | Ultim ate. For instance, the Parts tab is only available in Sibelius | Ultimate. Similarly, Sibelius | First and Sibelius provide fewer options in each tab than Sibelius | Ultimate. For more information about the Ribbon, see

Working with the ribbon
The ribbon is the w ide band of command buttons that appears at the top of the Sibel ius win­dow, housing all of the features of the program, organized according to task. In addition to the ribbon, every Sibelius document window also contains other useful controls. Si belius | First and Sibelius provide 10 tabs in the ribbon: File, Home, Note Input, Notations, Text, Play, Lay­out, Appearance, Review, and View. Sibelius | Ultimate has these and also includes the Parts tab. Most images of the ribbon in this guide show Sibelius | Ultimate. However, not all of the options included Sibelius | Ultimate are available with Sibelius and Sibelius | First, so depend­ing on which of these you are running, you may not see all of the options in your software that you see in this guide. For example, the Home tab in Sibelius | Ultimate provides access to the Inspector and Plug-ins, while in Sibelius, only Plug-ins are available and in Sibelius | First nei­ther of these options are available. For more information about what is or is not supported with Sibelius or Sibelius | First, see

The Sibelius window

The picture below shows a typical Sibelius window, so you can see where the ribbon is, and several other useful controls at the top and bottom of the window:
Sibelius | First, Sibelius, and Sibelius |Ultimate
Here’s a quick guided tour to the Sibelius window, startin g at the top and working our way down:
Quick Access Toolbar (Windows only): this has three important buttons: Save, Undo and
Title bar: this shows the filename of the document, and the name of the current dynamic part
Redo. The Undo and Redo buttons also have menus attached to them, allowing you to
quickly undo or redo to any point since you opened the score. (On Mac, these options are found in the
or version being viewed (if applicable). On Windows, you will see an asterisk (
File and Edit menus respectively.)
*) after the
17
filename if the score has unsaved changes. (On Mac, you will instead see a black dot inside the red close button at the top left-hand corner of the window.)
Window buttons: the title bar contains a set of buttons for working with the current window.
On Windows, these buttons appear at the top right-hand corner, while on Mac, they appear at the top left-hand corner.
Minimize is the first of the three buttons on Windows, and the middle of the three on Mac.
Click this to make your score window disappear from the screen without closing the file.
Restore down/Maximize (called Zoom on Mac) is the second of the three buttons on
Windows, and is the third of the three buttons on Mac. This button resizes the document window. Clicking this button toggles your window between maximum size or its previous size.
Close is the third of the three buttons on Windows, and the first on the Mac. As the name
suggests, clicking this button closes the current window.
Find box: type one or more keywords into this box to see a list of suggested controls on any
of the ribbon tabs; very useful for finding something if you can’t remember exactly where it is. As you type, Sibelius shows a list of matching controls: use need, then hit
Return to be taken there. Sibelius helpfully highlights the control for you.
/ to choose the one you
Sibelius also provides a customizable keyboard shortcut to search for any command in the Ribbon and then press Return (Mac) or Enter (Windows) to execute the command immedi­ately. This lets you quickly execute common commands while the Ribbon is hidden. Press “,” (Comma) to enter the Find in Ribbon Search field (you can define your ow n keyboard shortcuts for entering the Find in Ribbon Search field in File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Other > Activate Find in Ribbon).
Minimize Ribbon: the ribbon (described below) takes up a reasonable amount of vertical
space. If you want to see more of your score as you work on it, click the Minimize Ribbon button. When you do, the ribbon disappears, leaving only the ribbon tabs across the top of the screen. To make the ribbon reappear, click the button again to make the ribbon reapp ear permanently, or simply click whichever tab you want to use to make the ribbon reappear until you have finished making a choice from it, at which point it disappears again.
Help: click the ? button to open this Reference Guide in its on-screen form. You can find
further help in the

and individual instruments’ parts—inside a single window, and switch between them using these tabs. When you start a new score, only one tab will be shown, labeled open new tabs using the options that switch the view (e.g. hitting
+ button at the right-hand side of the document tab bar , or through other

corresponding to the current selection). You can re-order tabs simply by dragging them, and you can “tear off” a tab to open the score or part currently being viewed in that tab in a new window of its own: click and hold a tab, and drag it up or down; a Sibelius score icon appears under the mouse pointer. Release the mouse button, and the a new window is created where you dropped the Sibelius score icon.
Open new tab: this + button shows a menu that allows you to open a new tab containing a differ -
ent view from the current score, including dynamic parts and saved versions. You can also choose
New Window, which opens the current tab in a new window. You don’t have to click the
button itself to open the menu: simply right-click anywhere along the document tab bar to do the same thing.

Working with the ribbon
Switch tabs: if you have many tabs open at once, you may not be able to see all of the names
of the tabs clearly across the width of the tab bar. Click this button to show a menu listing all of the open tabs in the current window, allowing you to quickly switch to any of them.
Status bar: the status bar runs along the bottom of the window, which gives you information
about the current document and has some useful buttons for quick access.
Information read-outs: at the left-hand of the status bar is a series of useful read-outs. From
left to right: the current page and the total number of pages; the total number of bars; th e instrument on which the current selection resides, if there is one; the range of the current selection, if there is one; the timecode of the current selection; the pitches of the selected notes (or the first note or chord of a passage if you have a range of music selected); the har­mony of the chord made up by all of the selected notes at the start of the selection, displayed as a chord symbol; a description of the current operation (e.g.
Edit Passage or Edit Text);
whether or not the current view is currently displayed at concert (sounding) pitch or trans­posing (written) pitch; whether
Layout Hiding Staves Focus on Staves is switched on;
whether or not Magnetic Layout is enabled or disabled for the selected objects; and/or the font and point size of the selected text object.
Zoom controls: at the right-hand end of the status bar is a slider with—and + buttons at either
end that allow you to change the zoom level of the current view quickly and easily. To the left of the slider is a read-out of the current zoom level, expressed as a percentage.
Document view buttons: to the left of the zoom controls is a set of buttons that allow you to
switch between different types of view quickly, for example between showing the pages of your score laid out horizontally and Panorama view. These buttons are also found on the
View tab of the ribbon.

The ribbon tabs

The ribbon itself is split into 11 tabs with Sibelius | Ultimate (the Parts tab is not available in Sibelius or Sibelius | First). The first tab,
File, is unlike the other tabs: clicking it hides the
score altogether and instead shows you a special view called Backstage, which contains every­thing you might want to do with a file (as opposed to what you might do to a file, which is what the other 10 tabs are for). From the
File tab you can create, open, save and close files,
import and export them in different formats, print music out, access special learning and teach­ing features, get detailed help, and more. (The first chapter of this book is devoted to the oper­ations you can perform from the
File tab.)
The other 10 tabs are ordered roughly according to the order in which you typically perform tasks while working on a score, so as you make your way from the start of a project towards its end, you will typically work your way through most of the tabs of the ribbon from left to right. (This book is likewise ordered according to the order of the tabs.)
These 10 tabs contain the following kinds of commands:
Home: basic score setup, like adding or removing instruments and b ars, plus key editing
operations, including clipboard operations and Sibelius’s powerful filters.
Note Input: commands relating to alphabetic, step-time and Flexi-time input, plus not e edit-
ing operations, compositional tools such as explode/reduce, and transformations such as ret­rograde, inversion, and so on.
Notations: all of the basic markings other than notes, rests and t ext, including cl efs, key and
time signatures, special barlines, lines, symbols, notehead types, etc.
Text: font style and size controls, choice of text styles, plus lyrics, chord symbols, rehearsal
marks, and bar and page numbering options.
19
Play: choice of playback configuration, mixer, transport (playback) controls, Live Tempo,
Live Playback, options for how Sibelius should interpret your score duri ng playback, and features for writing music to video.
Layout: document setup options such as page and staff size, staff spacing, hiding staves,
Magnetic Layout options, plus formatting controls.
Appearance: options that affect the visual appearance of your score, including choice of
house style, note spacing and instrument name format, plus commands to reset or change the design or position of the objects in your score.
Parts (Sibelius | Ultimate Only): options relating to instrumental parts.Review: add annotations, add and review sticky note comments, create and manage multiple
versions of the same score, compare revisions, and access various proof-reading plug-ins.
View: change the layout and size of the music on the screen, show or hide various “invisi-
bles” and other helpful markings that provide useful information about your score, h ide or show extra panels for advanced operation, and arrange or switch between the open docu­ment windows.

Groups and controls

Each ribbon tab contains a number of groups, which organize related commands together. The name of each group is shown below the names of the individual commands in gray text, and groups are separated from each other by a vertical line:
The picture above shows the
Common, Lines and Symbols groups from the Notations tab.
Each group contains one or more controls of various types, including buttons, buttons that open menus, split buttons (where half the button is a regular button and the other half opens a menu), checkboxes, combo boxes and galleries, which are menus with special features. Gal­leries come in two flavors:
Drop-down galleries: these may look a lot like normal menus, displaying their contents as
text, or they may display their contents graphically. Unlike regular menus, galleries typically list options organized by category, which can then be filtered (see below). An example of a textual gallery is
Home Select Filters. All of the but tons in the Notations Common group
shown in the picture above use drop-down graphical galleri es.
In-ribbon galleries: these galleries are embedded directly in the ribbon, allowing you to see
the first few items in the gallery without opening it. In-ribbon galleries allow you to scroll up and down the list using the scroll arrow buttons at the right-hand end, or to open the gallery, making it appear like a drop-down gallery.
Notations Lines and Notations Symbols both
contain in-ribbon galleries, shown in the picture above.
Many galleries in Sibelius contain category filters, which allow you to show only one kin d of thing at a time in a gallery. Category filters are found at the very top of an open gallery; by default, there is no filter (so the filter reads
All), but you can click the filter name to show a
menu in which all the categories are listed. Choose one category and all of the other categories are filtered out.
Depending on the width of the window, the ribbon will do its best to display as many as possi­ble of the controls in all of the groups on the current tab. Some controls may be stacked verti­cally to save space, or perhaps even hide their textual description. If space gets very tight,
20
Working with the ribbon
some groups may end up collapsed, which means that instead of showing each of its controls directly on the ribbon, all of the controls are collapsed behind a single button, which shows the whole contents of the group below the ribbon when clicked, like this:

Sibelius has so many commands that in order to ensure every group on every tab is not sh own collapsed, your screen display has to be at least 1920 pixels wide!

Keyboard access

The ribbon includes a number of time-saving features to help you to learn and get around the program quickly, chief among them the ability to access every command via the keyboard using key tips. Key tips are special shortcuts that take you straight to a command, whichever ribbon tab it is on.
To show key tips, simply hit
Alt (Windows) or Ctrl (Mac): you don’t need to hold the key
down. A small overlay appears below each tab’s name:
T o access a tab, simply type the key tip shown for that tab. For example, type

Every command in the ribbon also has an extended text description, which appears if you hover your mouse over it for a moment. These descriptions are called screen tips, and they provide useful additional context on each com­mand.

cut is shown in parentheses after the name of the com­mand. Unlike key tips, which can only be used in sequence after hitting
Alt (Windows) or Ctrl (Mac), this
kind of keyboard shortcut can be used from anywhere, and furthermore you can customize them if you want to.

Launching related dialogs

Some groups in the ribbon have a small extra button in the bottom right-hand corner called a dialog launcher button, which when clicked, you will be surprised to learn, l aunches a dialog containing further options relating to the co mmands in that group.
In the picture above, the mouse pointer is over the dialog launcher button in
Setup
, which launches the Document Setup dialog, in which you can change the page size,

orientation and margins with additional options over and above those on the ribbon.

Single document interface

Sibelius uses a single document interface, which means that each score opens in its own win­dow, complete with its own ribbon and all of the tools you need to work with that score. As you open new parts or versions, they open by defaul t in new tabs within the same window (which you can re-order by dragging, or tear off to open the view in a new window).
To close a score, close the whole window by clicking the close icon at the top right-hand cor­ner (Windows) or top left-hand corner (Mac). By default, when you close the last document window, the Quick Start window opens again, to allow you to open a recent score or create a new one. This also prevents Sibelius from quitting on Windows, because once there are no windows open, the application will quit.
If you don’t want to show the Quick Start again after closing the last score, you can close the last score by clicking the close icon on the last document tab instead, which will clo se the score but leave the window open.
Once you close the last tab in the last window, all of the controls on the ribbon are disabled, but you can now click the
File tab, which now opens by de fault at the Recent page so that you can

open a recent score, or you can click

one. If you work in this way, you can switch off the option

Show Quick Start again after closing last
though beware that once you close the empty document window that is left behind after clos­ing the last tab on the last score, Sibelius will still quit on Windows.
On Mac, applications can still run when they have no win dows, so Sibelius remains running until you explicitly quit. If you click the Sibelius icon on the Dock when Sibeli us is running but with no windows open, the Quick Start window opens automatically to help you get started again.

Saving your working environment

Sibelius automatically keeps track of the arrangement of windows and tabs while you are working on your score, so that it can restore them the next time you open it. When you re-open a score you have worked on before, Sibelius will:
Open the document window to the same size and position you had used when you last closed
it
Open all the tabs that were open when you last closed it, and bring the last-used tab into
focus
Set the zoom level and type of view to the same as those used when you last closed itRestore the settings on the View tab of the ribbon for whi ch “invisibles” (useful things that
display on the screen but are not normally printed out) should be shown
Open the panels (such as the Mixer, Ideas panel, etc.) that were open when you last closed it.
You can, of course, tell Sibelius which of the above things you want it to do for you, via the
Display and Files pages of File Preferences—1.27 Display settings.

Notes for upgraders

If you have upgraded from Sibelius 6 or earlier, you may be a little disorientated when you first run your new version of Sibelius and see that the old menus and toolbar have been replaced by the ribbon. But don’t worry: you’ll soon get used to it, and before long you’ll find it much clearer than before. The
Find in ribbon box at the top right-hand corner of the ribbon is
an invaluable tool in searching for features that you have temporarily mislaid. Here, broadly speaking, is how to find things in the ribbon according to the menus used in ear-
lier versions of Sibelius:
File menu items are now found in the File tabEdit menu items are split between the Quick Access Toolbar (for undo and redo), Home tab
(for selecting, filtering, coloring and navigating) and the out and Order settings). You can still access a cut-down version of the
