![]() I was sure going up a stave would choose Voice 1. I didn't know this was Sib behaviour and I've made so many of my own keyboard shortcuts I wonder if this is the norm? Oddly enough, as I'm testing moving up a stave (lower staff all in Vc 1) using Ctrl/Alt + Up Arrow, Voice 2 is being chosen (upper staff in Voices 1 and 2) instead of Voice 1 in the upper staff. Shift and Tab moves to the previous object. > On a separate note, I think that you can benefit more by using the ‘TAB’ key, rather than the ’N’ key when starting to input notes.>Īs Jim says, ‘TAB’ moves to the next object. Posted by Richard Vitale - 12 May 01:39PM (edited 12 May 01:41PM) ![]() In any event, If the goal is to eliminate the mouse as much as possible, then I think the 'Tab' key has a big advantage over the 'N' key for this kind of approach. Or perhaps you're using your midi keyboard for note input. the Tab key selects the bar rest as it's object, and from there you can quickly key in the pitch via keyboard shortcuts. which is a nice shortcut for moving to the start of the next measure (or previous measure if you happened to use the left arrow instead). But to help out with this issue you can always jump across measures by using. This could also be seen as a disadvantage of course - if you didn’t want to go to whatever measure is in the upper left-hand corner of your monitor. The main advantage of this is that you’re instantly inside a measure ready to input notes, and you don’t have to reach for the mouse in order to select a location point to place the input cursor (as you would when using the ’N’ key, for the Note Input function). Tab is the default keyboard shortcut for ‘Select Next Object’, and if nothing is already selected, pressing it will get Sibelius to select whatever the first object is in your score, as it appears on your monitor - referenced from the upper left-hand corner. On a separate note, I think that you can benefit more by using the ‘TAB’ key, rather than the ’N’ key when starting to input notes. The keyboard shortcut for jumping between voices on the same staff is. Posted by Jim Druckenmiller - 12 May 04:30AM (edited 12 May 09:28AM) Then I want to choose another keystroke command that puts me in Voice 2, from where I can arrow to the right to the vacant beat three to enter the voice 2 note. I want to use the control alt G command to choose bar five. Bar five has two beats of notes in to of rest in Voice 2. Inbar six, you have notes all in Voice 1. Let us try one more example let us imagine that Inbar five of the score, you have notes both in voices one and two. Unfortunately, if you are in a score with only one staff, you don't have this approach from below option with the control alt up and down arrow keys. ![]() In the case where you wanted to get into the Voice 2 staff and there were notes in the bar you were in, followed by,little say, seven bars in Voice 1 before the next appearance of notes in Voice 2., a right arrow would skip these bars. In that case, you would be in Voice 2 in the new staff, and you could arrow to the right through the voice to notes until you got to the place where you wanted to enter new notes. What I want is to approach the voice the way you would if you were coming from the staff below using CTRL ALT UP ARROW. I understand how to make this work by choosing the letter N, followed by Alt # for the voice you want. If that's not clear or I've explained incorrectly please post back. In other words there has to be something in between beat one and four and Sibelius logically recognizes the "rest". Sibelius requires you to insert the half note rest first, in order to move from beat one to beat four in that particular bar. Now that the rest has been laid down you can skate around voice 1 or 2 (choose a note or rest in THAT voice first) and use the left/right arrow keys. ![]() So, let's say you want to enter a quarter note on beat one, 2 beats rest (beats two and three), and a quarter note on the 4th beat of a bar in 4/4.Īfter typing N, followed by Alt2, enter your quarter note, then push the number 5 on your keyboard keypad for "half note" and push the number "0" on your keypad which will enter a half note rest, then push number "4" on your keypad (for quarter note) and enter your note. Simply type N, followed by Alt2, and you can immediately begin inserting notes in Voice 2. it will change the the voice of the note that is selected. While a note is selected, if you change to a different voice by keystroke (or any other way for that matter), while a note is selected. The wording in your original question was hard to understand so I thought I'd wait and Laurence hit it on the head.
