Sib. 6.x: Header (after first page)
Posted by Anastasio Rossi - 25 Aug 01:12AM

In a medley of 5 songs, the headers (after first page) pile upon top of each other with each new song. Deleting the header of the first song, even at the last page,deletes the first song's entire header. How to retain the headers of each song only on its own pages?

One way is to go to Edit Text Style > Repeat > uncheck Specify repeat behaviour. Next you can insert the same header, if necessary, on the next page or pages of the song.

Another way - it's feature disappeared in Sibelius 7 ! - is to set the header to 'erase background' in such a way that every new header covers those entered before.

Very messy! You need to create more headers w'out repeats in Edit Text Styles, call them "Header2" thru' "Header5". Don't use wild cards. Attach each header to the first measure of the page it is to appear. This would have to be done individually on every part, using Hide to make sure there is no interaction between score and part, and no reformatting after planting. Maybe part extraction. As I say, very messy.

Adrian, you don't need different Text Styles, since you can create different headers with the same Text Style. But of course this Text Style should have 'Specify repeat behaviour' unchecked.

But if you're looking for seperate "Chapter headings" within the same document, Sibelius is going to make you jump through hoops to get it!

If each song starts on a new page, treating them as seperate Sibelius files and exporting PDF files for concatenation may be easier.

You're correct Wim. No need to create more text styles, but still messy and time consuming.

My Edit Text Styles has no option for "Specify repeat behaviour" or "erase background". Where are these located in Sibelius6?

In your Edit window, look under Repeat tab for repeat behaviour and Border tab for erase b'ground.
