Interesting thread guys,

First of all, you can right-click directly on an object in Sibelius and
bring up the context menu.

The properties window is brought to the screen with a keyboard shortcut.
Since Sibelius allows for re-mapping the keyboard to implement most of its
features, I have programmed the letter "P" to bring up the properties box,
instead of the Sibelius default, "Playback".

Hope this clears a few things up.


I'd just like to add that practically everything Sibelius can do can be mapped to keyboard shortcuts from within the program, user-definable. No need for QuickKeys or any other macro-keyboard program to run in the background. It is possible to do away with the Sibelius numpad entry system and to define things in a manner which makes sense to the user, not forcing the user to use keystrokes that make sense to a programmer.

Things are not as obtuse as some people are making them sound. Imagine people dabbling with Finale and not finding how to do things holding this conversation about how obtuse Finale is.

Both programs could use UI improvements, but at least Sibelius lets the user try to come up with a better system which is individualized.
