Sibelius doesn't have anything called "smart shapes," but if you're asking about hairpins they are completely adjustable in both score and parts (although if you enter them carefully by selecting start and end points they don't need much if any adjustment in either score or parts). And collisions are avoided automatically by Magnetic Layout, which saves hours of fine tweaking. Not sure if that's what you're asking. John -- John R. Howell, Assoc.
