Sib. 7.5: Ideas import broken?
Posted by Jesper Elén - 21 Apr 05:26AM
Hi, just started to use the Ideas library, adding a whole bunch of stuff.
If I export the library I can't seem to import them again. The import button shows a window asking if I want to put them in the current score or library but there is no Ok button and Enter/Return does not work. Checked in 7.1.3 also and same thing there. Anyone care to check if it's just me. Could be a Mac thing since Apple did some change of window handling earlier in Lion I think but then it must have been broken for a long time.

This seems to be an old problem:

I guess that this has been broken since Sibelius 7.0.0. It's implemented correctly in Sibelius 6.

I suppose that a work-around is to move Ideas around inside a score file, rather than an export/import sequence.

Yes, thanks for checking Robin, I had hoped I could organize the library by exporting several different and just import the ones needed on a global basis. So maybe Manuscript papers for each library could work. A shame that great ideas like Arrange and Ideas has been forgotten about when updating Sibelius.
Lets hope they both gets an overhaul soon.

Thanks Robin.
