Sib. 4.x: transposition - keyboard v keyboard
Posted by John Harding - 15 Apr 07:05AM
I'm copying a clarinet in A part into a score, working from a printed part that is properly transposed. Setting Sibelius to "transposing score" gives me the correct transposed key signature, and when I type the pitches in with the alphabetical keyboard they appear in the correct place. So far so good. But when I try playing them in on the M-audio Keystation 61 etc. they are wrong. The keyboard adds a second transposition. I want to hear E natural, so I type 'G' and a G natural appears in the transposing score. When I play in G natural I get a B flat in the score. In other words (struggling here), when I type G, Sibelius thinks I want to see G. When I play G, Sibelius thinks I want to hear G.

I don't have this kind of mind. I can't think of a way of fiddling the transposing variables so that I can actually use the MIDI keyboard for a transposing part. Is there one?

I'm not sure exactly where this is in Sib 4 but you need to locate the note input options and check the box "input written pitches"

Thanks, Richard. It's in Preferences > Note input.
