Go To Internal Bar Number

Added 09 Jan 2009

For use with Sibelius 5

This plug-in acts exactly the same as the Sibelius 'Go To Bar' built in function, except that it goes to a bar based on its internal bar number rather than its external bar number. It is useful for navigating through a score that has one or more bar number changes.

An example of such an instance would be when a user has a run another plug-in that outputs internal bar numbers. Another instance would be if the user knew the number of a bar before they inserted a bar number change.

Internal bar numbers never change, except when measures are added or deleted. If the user enters an incorrect internal bar number, the plu-in will display the range of internal bar numbers so the user knows why their entered number was not valid. This plug-in is particulaly well-suited to have a shortcut assigned to it.

Go To Out Of Range Note

Version 01.42.00
Added 16 Jan 2009 (last updated 23 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Makes a list of all selected notes that are out of range for the instrument they are in (even after an instrument change). From within the plugin dialog you can navigate to any of the out of range notes, and when the dialog closes the chosen note will be selected.

If you have trouble seeing the selected note, use the up arrow to move it, then Undo (not down arrow) to restore the original pitch.

You can also copy the list to the trace window, for printing or relaxed study.

This plugin can be especially useful for people who cannot differentiate the red colors used by Sibelius for out-of-range notes.

Updated 12 Feb 2011. Added ability to go to notes based on the number of ledger lines. Also added an option to filter all the out or range or ledger lined notes in the selection.

Go To Next-Previous Page

Added 03 Jul 2009 (last updated 12 Nov 2010)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Go to the start of the next or previous page, based on the start of the selection (you need to have a selection for this to work).

Updated 11 November 2010. Now if there is no selection you are taken to bar 1. Also fixes to Go To Previous, and it will now take you to the start of the current page if you are not on the first bar of the page, and if you are on the first bar it will take you to the previous page.

As before, the effect is similar to Go To Bar to the desired page - the target bar will have a system selection around it.

Move Passage Selection Up or Down A Staff

Added 29 Jul 2009 (last updated 29 Jul 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1, Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

In Avid's industry-standard software Pro Tools, there is often a need to navigate the music using a selection. For example, if you make a selection in one instrument and wish to jump to another instrument whilst retaining the original selection's boundaries you can easily do so using Pro Tools's built-in shortcuts. There certainly exists a need for this type of navigation in Sibelius; however, in Sibelius if you wish to jump a passage selection up or down to another staff, there is no quick way to do so.

To remedy this, simply assign shortcuts to these two selection navigation plug-ins, which are useful for copying and pasting from one staff to another, quickly pasting throughout staves, toggling through them, or for allowing the engraver to adjust staff spacing without ever having to use the mouse or a combination of shortcuts. Currently it toggles through even staves that are hidden, so if your selection goes off the screen it is because you are selecting a staff that is currently hidden. Compatible with Sibelius 4, 5, and 6.

Move Passage Selection to Next or Previous Bar

Added 27 Sep 2009

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

These two Selection Navigation plug-ins make a passage selection around the next or previous bar (assuming you have a passage currently selected). They are useful when assigned shortcuts, and are particularly suited to be used with the other Selection Navigation plugins. They work for Sibelius 5 and 6.

Select Page & Select Staves on Page

Added 14 Nov 2009 (last updated 15 Nov 2009)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Select Page (All) allows you to make a passage selection around the current page, selecting all bars and staves on that page. Select a bar, and then run this plug-in and the full page will be selected. If you already have a selection that spans more than one page, all selected pages will be fully selected. Just as double clicking on a bar will select the entire system, and triple clicking on a bar will select the staff throughout the score, it is very helpful to assign a shortcut to this plug-in to quickly select a whole page.

Select Page (Staff) allows you to make a passage selection around the current page, selecting all bars in the current staff/staves. Select a bar, and then run this plug-in and the full page will be selected (but only in the selected staff/staves). If you already have a selection that spans more than one page, all selected pages will be fully selected. Just as double-clicking on a bar will select the entire system, and triple-clicking on a bar will select the staff throughout the score, it is very helpful to assign a shortcut to this plug-in to quickly select a whole page.

Select Range

Version 01.05.00
Added 22 Jan 2010 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Makes a selection from specified bar numbers (�external� numbers, as displayed in the score) or Rehearsal Marks. It is intended for making a selection over a long range in a large score.

If any bar numbers appear in more than one place in the score, the plugin will let you specify which location to select.

Save or Restore Selection Outline

Version 01.06.00
Added 18 Feb 2010 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Saves a passage (blue box) selection so that it can be restored later. May be useful if you are performing multiple operations on the same materials, and filtering.

Note that only the location of the selection (which bars and staves are selected) is saved and restored. The contents of those bars and staves are neither saved not restored. Restoring just draws a box around whatever is in the bars at that moment.

Updated 18 Feb 2010 to make Restore the default button if enabled.

Updated 4 April 2011 to allow it to handle discontiguous selections. Also renamed it and changed the description in the dialog to make its purpose more obvious.

Go To Comment

Version 01.03.00
Added 26 Apr 2010 (last updated 23 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Provides a list of all comments in a score, optionally filtered by author, and lets you navigate to one of them.

There are 2 modes of operation. In the default mode (with the checkbox on), clicking in the listbox closes the dialog and takes you to the chosen comment. It is very fast if you use the mouse.

If you uncheck the checkbox, changing the selection in the list box brings that comment into view but the dialog stays up until you choose the Go To button. It is what you want if you navigate with arrow keys, and it lets you preview the comments.

The checkbox setting is remembered across Sibelius sessions.

Deselect Hidden Staves

Version 01.01.00
Added 04 Apr 2011 (last updated 22 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This plugin removes from a passage selection any staves that are hidden

* by Focus on Staves (if Focus On Staves is active)

* by Hide Empty Staves (if all bars in that staff in the selection are so hidden)

It does not deal with instruments hidden by instrument changes.

Two interesting uses are:

1. Select only the visible staves in Focus On Staves so the other staves do not play back.

2. Prevent a paste that includes hidden staves (usually hidden by Hide Empty Staves) from copying the hidden staves, and thus unhiding the destination.

If there is no passage selection, the plugin selects the visible staves throughout the entire score.

Go To Text

Version 01.56.00
Added 10 Nov 2011 (last updated 23 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This plugin lets you go to the next or previous piece of staff text, in any text style, relative to the current selection.

You can run it with no selection to change search direction.

You can type arbitrary text to use as bookmarks (hidden text starting with ~ is recommended, such as ~1, ~2, ~3 for easy to enter bookmarks), and use this plugin to find those bookmarks.

Updated 11 Nov 11 to select the bar containing the bookmark and move it to the upper left corner to increase visibility.

Updated 24 November 2011 selects the text, not the bar, so next finds work.
