Does anyone know if Sibelius supports Unicode fonts?
Yes, it does. On Mac it also supports OpenType features such as
automatic ligatures, which is pretty cool!

Hi Darcy,
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a workaround? I mean, we all bitch
about Finale, and we've all looked enviously at Sib's dynamic parts,
etc, but this is a pretty egregious error with no obvious workaround.
I'm not a Sibelius expert, but here's at least one way to do it:

Yeah, the demo that Sibelius has, it looks like you can change
notes, dynamics and page layouts. But what about all the other
stuff? Text blocks? Different fonts? Slurs? articulations? Can you
move these around?
I got tired of reading all this stuff here today and not being

In Sibelius -- at least on Mac -- you can't compare two parts

That's not true. You can resize the document windows and position them next to
each other. I also went digging in the
Good day fellow listers,
I was just embarking on the normal way I make a gap in the middle of a system
for a coda (which involves creating an extra bar, then using the hide staff
style to hide it, then fixing up the bar numbering after the extra bar), when
it occurred to me that perhaps I've

That's not how I read it. It says on Sibelius's web site:

Hi fellow listers,
For the first time I've been called upon to put together a fake book-style
lead sheet for one of my students. One of the peculiarities of this format is
that the barline at the left-hand end of the system uses a barline, to the left
of where the clef would go, even though

Wow, now I really *do* feel dumb. But seriously, I looked this up under
barlines in the User Manual and I wasn't able to find it.
Thanks!

So because nobody does it, we shouldn't expect it?
That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that MakeMusic and Sibelius could both
be worse. They could simply not acknowledge complaints made by their customers, just
as huge corporations like Microsoft and Adobe do.

Hi Éric,
It will first be announced on the 17th of August on their website, and
who knows when it will be available. I'm curious to see their strategy
for Mac users this time.
According to posters on the Finale forum at finalemusic.com who've seen the new
version at recent trade shows,

Select the bars you want to export, then when you go to Save as Graphics, make sure
