Sib. 7.1: Printing in color Posted by Robby Poole - 22 Jan 09:21PM Hide picture I have an issue, that I never had with Sib 6. I use the highlight feature to highlight measures that might have issues, or might need to be discussed, etc. In Sib 6 when I printed, I turned color printing on, and the measure had a nice highlight around it, just as it shows on the screen. However, in Sib 7, when I try to do the same thing, and black box appears over the measures that I highlighted. Am I missing something? Is there a way to print in color using Sib 7.1? -- Robby Poole Mac OS X 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5 4 GB RAM - 1 TB HD Back to top | All threads

Re: Sib. 7.1: Printing in color Posted by Richard Vitale - 23 Jan 06:21AM (edited 23 Jan 05:35PM) Hide picture Yes, to print highlights in Sib 6, you would check the "View menu options" checkbox as in screenshot.

Re: Sib. 7.1: Printing in color Posted by Robby Poole - 23 Jan 06:38AM Hide picture I have "view menu options" checked (or the equivalent in Sib 7), and it prints the whole thing in black and white, no color, and the area where the highlight is supposed to be, is a huge black box around the measure (same dimensions as the highlight). I don't have the option in the OS dialog to turn on color. Nor do I have the "Sibelius" print setting in the OS Dialog, like I used to. I need help.

Re: Sib. 7.1: Printing in color Posted by Bob Zawalich - 23 Jan 07:48AM Hide picture I believe that on a Mac in Sib 7 it always prints in color. I assume you are printing to a color printer.

Re: Sib. 7.1: Printing in color Posted by Robby Poole - 23 Jan 10:50PM Hide picture Daniel, I have a Brother HL-4040CDN, full color, 2 sided printer, with the latest drivers. Every other program I have prints in color with no error (i.e., MS Word, Pages, Keynote, Excel, Numbers), except Sibelius 7. Sib 7 is not printing on color on my Mac. Over the highlight area (yellow on the home screen), the printing option turns it to black. See the attached graphic. Printing/Exporting to PDF does not allow me to add the color into the PDF.

Re: Sib. 7.1: Printing in color Posted by Robby Poole - 23 Jan 10:56PM Hide picture Funny Thing just happened. I went to print another file, with the "View options" box checked, and it printed up the page formatting marks (start new system arrows). The arrows were in blue/purple as they are on the screen. When I added a highlight to one of the measure, it comes out black with the arrows still being in blue/purple. Maybe it's an error with the highlight function? -- Robby Poole Mac OS X 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5 4 GB RAM - 1 TB HD Back to top | All threads

Re: Sib. 7.1: Printing in color Posted by Jody Hughes - 23 Jan 10:59PM Hide picture Hi I just printed a page of score with coloured highlight, correctly, direct from Sibelius.

Re: Sib. 7.1: Printing in color Posted by Daniel Spreadbury - 24 Jan 03:05PM Hide picture Do you know whether you're using the manufacturers' drivers, or a Gutenprint or CUPS driver for your printer?

Re: Sib. 7.1: Printing in color Posted by Robby Poole - 24 Jan 05:09PM Hide picture Daniel, I think it does know it can print in color, hence the blue/purple arrows for forced system changes print in those colors when view options is checked. It just seems to be the highlight function. As far as what driver, I am pretty certain that I am using the manufacturers' drivers. Several months ago I had the CUPS driver I think (not sure what that is exactly, but it said it next to the name of the printer in all OS Print dialog boxes). But for the last several months, my Mac found new drivers and the word CUPS went away. I'll do some more tests to see what else I can find out. -- Robby Poole Mac OS X 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5 4 GB RAM - 1 TB HD Back to top | All threads

Re: Sib. 7.1: Printing in color Posted by Robby Poole - 24 Jan 05:16PM Hide picture Daniel, I'll even go one step further. I changed the color of the Title to "red" on a work sheet I am working on. I went into the print menu, and the title appears in black. I switched to my HP Photosmart 7700 series printer, and the title in the preview screen stays black. It never seems to change. Not sure what I can say, other than the fact that it shows everything in black, except for that it has to know it prints in color because of the formatting arrows, the other things aren't changing colors though. I'll attach some more items. -- Robby Poole Mac OS X 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5 4 GB RAM - 1 TB HD Attachment Screen Shot 2012-01-24 at 10.15.16 AM.png (341K) Back to top | All threads

Re: Sib. 7.1: Printing in color Posted by Richard Vitale - 24 Jan 07:11PM Hide picture That certainly is weird! Only the highlights are turning black. Just so you know, my yellow highlights have printed out and it might just be the drivers that are available for Brother printers. I know it's no consolation, but I've switched from Epson to HP printers (because of paper loading issues). I have two, and have never had printing problems with them and I always print in color. I've seen nothing in the Brother HL-4040CDN Reviews that explains the problem you're having.

Re: Sib. 7.1: Printing in color Posted by Richard Vitale - 24 Jan 07:28PM Hide picture Try as a last resort clicking on the highlight so there is a blue box around it and calling up the Color Wheel (right-click or Ctrl + click on highlight blue edge to select it) to see if you can change the color to yellow as in screenshot. -- Richie Vitale-Sib 7.1 User iMac 2.66 Ghz Intel/Lion 4 GB RAM http://www.youtube.com/user/richievitale Attachment Color Wheel.png (164K) Back to top | All threads

Re: Sib. 7.1: Printing in color Posted by Robby Poole - 29 Apr 01:27AM Hide picture Daniel, Once again, I am running into this print issue. I am wondering if you are any closer to what might the issue with my highlights not printing. As earlier, somethings do print in color (formatting arrows/system breaks, page breaks, etc.) The title and the highlighting do not. Also, if there ever is a fix to this, it would be nice to have the option of just printing the highlights in the future. I do a lot of drum stuff, and sometimes, I highlight measures if they are completely different from anything else being played. I'd like to be able to print just the highlight instead of printing all of the formatting marks.
