Sib. 7.1.3: How to stop Sibelius automatically changing to the next page?
Posted by Score4Screen - 05 Feb 06:43PM
I am using Sibelius 7.1.3 and ever since I have purchased Sibelius, there is a feature I haven't particularly liked, which is when after you finish inputting notes in the last bar of a page, Sibelius will automatically switch to view of the next page of your score.

For example, if you have an orchestral score of 4 bars a page and in 4/4, say after you insert the last crotchet in the last bar of the page (on any instrument) Sibelius will automatically move on to the next page of the score. I have found this feature distracting personally, though this may not be the case for others. But I was wondering, was there any way to switch this feature off? I have looked through the reference guide and the web but haven't found anything to do this. Anyone know a way?

Thanks!

If you find this annoying, why not try inputting notes in Panorama view (Shift+P)?

If you've filled a page, where would you LIKE the next note to go?

It's always annoyed me, too. I can see the logic of it, but I want to look at what I've just written (particularly when making corrections.) Two presses of left arrow followed by one press of right arrow is fairly quick, and gets you back to the note you've just entered.
But it's a shame that it can't be done with a single keystroke. Or can it? Does anyone know?

There are scenarios where it is indeed not helpful (which is why I would love to see an option for this), for example if you are transcribing from a manuscript and you do it page by page, meaning that you fill in all staves of one page before going to the next page. The way it is, you have to jump back a page every time you reach the end of a stave that has a note at the end of the last bar.
[Ideally, there could be an entry mode where, when having filled the last bar of a stave, the caret jumps to the first bar of the next stave down, but that's probably a bit too much wishful thinking.]

No joy, I'm afraid. The home key works fine where a whole page is occupied by a system, but for (e.g.) piano music it takes me to the top of the previous page and getting back to where I was then involves Pgdn and fiddling to get everything aligned again, so it's more of a pest than the three-step tango with left- and right-arrows. (I keep the keypad at the bottom right of the screen, so it tends to obscure the last notes unless the page is centered.)

Or am I doing something stupid (again)?

Yet another example of the use-unfriendliness of many Sib features. Totally annoying.

I can't believe you lot! What do you expect to do if you are composing? If you are checking something in the music, you can easily do that in Panorama mode. If you are checking the layout while composing, I have to ask why? Get on with the composing and do the layout in one go afterwards!

Sorry to dig out this old thread. But what I have to say is that everyone has it's own workflow. Just like writing, someone would start to proof-read when finishing one paragraph, while someone would start proof-reading when they finished the whole essay. You cannot restrict everyone to follow the same workflow. After all, music composition is an artistic work, it's normal for each person to have its own style.

Recently, I am helping people to digitize some hand-written orchestral scores. To reduce to chance of making mistakes, I always start working with the layouts and the number of bars on each page to be as same as the hand-written scores. By doing so, you will immediately spot out the errors if you skipped one bar or put in a duplicated bar.

Under this circumstance, I don't want Sibelius to jump after filling out just one instrument. I want to fill in all instruments on one page and check all the errors before going to the next page.

So, it is nice to have an option for users to turn the page-jump function on or off.

Despite some obnoxious comments above - the reasons as to why this could be very annoying are numerous.

Preferences > Score Position > During note input follow caret - OFF!

Job done! :)
