How to transfer keyboard shortcuts from 7.5 to 8.4.1
Posted by PhilShaw - 19 Feb 06:25AM

I just (after putting off a long time) installed theupgrade to 8.4.1 from 7.5.1. I'm trying to figure out how to transfer my keyboard shortcuts.

In "Users>..>AppData>...>AVID>Sibelius 7Keyboard Shortcuts"
I found a file "NotebookPS.sfs". "NotebookPS" used to appear in Sibelius under "Preferenes!Keyboard Shortcuts"
as a feature set.

So my question is where can I put that "NoebookPS.sfs" file
so it will appear in Sibelius 8.4.1? I can't find a "Sibelius 8" folder in any of the AVID or Sibelius directories under "users".

Thanks.

type in Windows Explorer

%appdata%\Avid\Sibelius\Keyboard Shortcuts

There is no Sibelius8 - they just call it Sibelius

When you installed the new Sibelius (8.x), it presented you with an option to transfer all settings from a previous installed version of Sibelius. If you had chosen to do that, the Keyboard Shortcuts file would have been automatically transferred.

Bob,

Thanks. When I put the NotebookPS.sfs file into the "Keyboard Shortcuts" directory under "user>...>Sibelius" it showed up in the Preferences list (after I restarted Sibelius).

Thanks again.
