Hi all,
Yes, I know I should actually join the Sibelius list and ask it over
there, but I haven't gotten around to doing so yet, and the Sib
users here are, so far, very knowledgeable and helpful, so...
I am having a recurring problem with Sibelius where it will
periodically refuse to allow me to edit text. Double-clicking on a
bit of expression, technique, or title text normally brings up the
insertion point, but instead what happens is that the title bar
flashes and the text remains blue (selected), not black and white
(editable).
The only solution I have found to this problem is to quit and
relaunch Sibleius, which is very annoying, especially since Sibleius
takes an extremely long time to launch. Is anyone else seeing this?
Does anyone have a solution that does not involve quitting and
relaunching?
This is using OS X 10.5.2 on an Intel Mac.
Just a guess, but since I've not run into that (on OS 10.4.11) it
might well be something in 10.5. There's only been one kind of text
I couldn't edit that way (I think it may be the Instrument Name at
the top of the pages), but when I try it sends me to the place where
I CAN edit it. Never had to quit and reload (yet!!).
