JPEG is a lossy image comression format suited for photographic pictures, not for musical scores (nor text nor line drawings, ...) If a pixmap is the only option, try PNG instead. If Sibelius allows export to a vector format (PDF or SVG, say) this will be even better, because then you can scale the image without loss of quality (even if it might look bad on-screen). Günter
