A small thing that I find frustrating in Sibelius, is that when I copy a section of music, Sibelius always jumps to the end of that copied section, meaning I have to scroll back to where I was.
Is there a way to stop Sibelius jumping to the end of a copied section without affecting any other score position function.
thanks
Andy

You're welcome..and to honest I didnt think it really would help, as Im not able to duplicate what youre saying--
but unticking that has stopped scores from jumping around, along with Score Position>During Play and Flexitime> unticking use different zoom.
so I figured it was worth a try in mentioning it.
Good luck with this.
Thanks Bob

when copying a whole staff Sibelius shows the last bar of a score. This can be annoying when you want to copy other (whole) staves as well. You always have to scroll back to the beginning or, what I do, use the Pos1 key in scroll-view.

Rare visit for me here, Bob. Just to back up what Andrew says, this is the single most annoying thing in Sibelius 7 for me - when I'm working I usually don't have time to try and sort out a solution. As Andrew says, if you copy a segment of staves from (say) bar 3 onwards that's wider than your screen width say to bar 75!), and paste the beginning of the selection to a different set of staves beginning at the same point (that is, bar 3), Sibelius jumps to the end of the paste operation, that is, bar 75. Has this changed with v 7.5?

Additional: this behaviour happens (for me) if you copy to clip-board and paste (as I described) using the traditional paste command (or alt-V), rather than alt-click fast copy method. Make sense?

Andrew, one way of avoiding this is to turn off 'Follow Selection' under 'During Input and Editing' on the Score Position page in Preferences. You could, perhaps, do this when you're doing such operations and turn it back on again during note input. Just a thought.

One solution is after copying and pasting, press "Y" which is the shortcut for "move playback line to selection" ... and it will move the playback line to the *start* of the long selection you just pasted. Then press the spacebar to start playing, and press spacebar again to stop playing.
