Players Required
Version 01.08.00
Added 08 Mar 2012 (last updated 07 Mar 2014)
For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
This plugin determines the minimum number of players required to play a selected range of bars.
It writes a report to the Plug-in Trace Window consisting of all the instruments that contain notes in the selection, and the maximum number of instruments that play simultaneously in any one bar. That is, in effect, the minimum number of players required to play the music, though not necessarily a realistic number for an actual performance. (But you could not play it with fewer performers, unless one performer plays multiple simultaneous instruments!)
There is an option to include instrument changes in the name of the instruments in the report, and a sub option to include Technique and Instrument Change text as instrument changes. The latter could produce unwanted information, but it should be relatively easy to edit out.

Position Dynamics
Version 01.72.00
Added 17 Apr 2012 (last updated 30 Jan 2020)
For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
This plugin repositions Expression/dynamics text according to the text of the dynamics expression, the width of the associated noteheads, and the stem direction (in Sib 7 only), so that a dynamic will appear in an aesthetically pleasing relation to an associated note.
It comes with 4 "position sets" designed by Matthew Maslanka, with input from Jeremy Hughes, for use with Opus, Helsinki, Inkpen2 and Reprise fonts.
New positions sets can be created and existing ones edited. Position sets are saved as text files and can be shared among users.
A PDF file describing how to use the plugin is included in the zip file. I recommend looking through it before you use the plugin.
Updated 28 May 2018. Mostly grand staff fixes.
Updated 30 January 2020. Version 01.72.00. Fix to crash on grand staff when it was the final staff in the score.

Unlink Objects in Parts
Version 01.05.00
Added 22 Apr 2012 (last updated 07 Mar 2014)
For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
Moves each selected object slightly in each part, then move it back to the original position. The effect is to remove the linkage between the object in the score and the object in the part.
It was designed to be used after running the Position Dynamics plugin on the entire score, so you can unlink the positioned text, and then run Position Dynamics with different settings on the score, without upsetting what was done in the parts.
It can, of course, be used anywhere that the same effect is desired.
Use Reset to Score Position to undo the effects of this plugin.

Add LV Symbols to Notes
Version 01.47.01
Added 25 May 2012 (last updated 05 Sep 2023)
For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
__Adds laissez vibrer/let ring/LV symbols to selected untied notes, mimicking the positioning of ties on the same notes __The plugin will determine the direction of the symbols and it provides options for adjusting the spacing of the symbols from the note positions. __This plugin requires Sibelius 7. __Updated 21 June 2012 to fix wrong version in error message. __Updated 29 May 2013 to allow plugin to work in Sibelius 6. __Updated 18 June 2018. Fixed minor bugs including not picking up extra symbols for use in list. __Updated 05 September 2023. Version 01.47.01.

Respace Clef Change
Version 01.04.00
Added 10 Aug 2012 (last updated 07 Mar 2014)
For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
Sibelius sometimes leaves too much space in bars that contain clef changes. For all staves, for any bar that contains a clef change, the plugin hides the clef changes, then respaces the bar in all staves, then makes the clef change visible.
You may want to run it separately on the full score and in parts. I recommend running it on the full score first.
This plugin is dedicated to Daniel Spreadbury and the Sibelius development team.

Percussion Pitch Map
Version 01.95.00
Added 21 Aug 2012 (last updated 19 Jan 2022)
For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
Transposes selected notes, optionally changing noteheads and adding articulations according to the chosen pitch map. Specific pitches at specific octaves are transposed, as opposed to all pitches with a given pitch name.
The plugin reads data files called pitch maps, which will change a note at a specific pitch name and octave to another pitch name and octave. The new note can also be given a different notehead and articulation.
Typically this plugin could be used to remap pitches in cases where pitch mapping is not done by Sibelius on import.
Updated 13 January 2020. Version 01.93.00. Fixed bug where B sharp and C flat were mapped to the wrong octave, which did bad things. It has been noted that this plugin is capable of doing general pitch mapping, with the ability to remap octaves as well as pitches.
A PDF document describing the plugin is included in the zip file.
This plugin is dedicated to Robert Puff, who provided the built-in pitch maps.
Updated 17 July 2017 added support for magnetic glisses in Sibelius 8.6 and later.
Updated 16 January 2020. Version 01.94.00. Fixed bug where the pitches Cflat, Cdouble flat, Bx, and Bsharp were mapped to the wrong octaves. This plugin is capable of mapping any MIDI pitch in any octave to a different pitch in any valid octave, in addition to its designed use as a translator for MIDI pitch maps.
Updated 19 January 2022. Version 01.95.00.Fixed bugs where intervals or chords gave the wrong notehead or articulation.

Note Spacing
Version 01.55.00
Added 09 Oct 2012 (last updated 26 Apr 2020)
For use with Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
Apply a Note Spacing preset, a set of predefined Note Spacing Rules, whose values can be scaled by a percentage, to a selection. The plugin will apply the spacing rules, respace, then restore the original score spacing. The preset can also be applied to the entire score, with optional respacing.
For a non-passage selection, any bar containing selected notes will be respaced.
The plugin requires Sibelius 7.1.3 or later. A PDF document describing the plugin is included with the zip file, and it is recommended reading.
Updated 28 August 2018. Version 01.52.00. Removed adjustment that caused values to be rounded incorrectly and could add incorrect cumulative spacing offsets.
The plugin comes with several predefined presets (thanks to Robert Puff and Bill Holab for these, and to Neil Sands for the Proportional Spacing settings). You can also edit or create presets. The Current score and Defaults presets may not be edited nor deleted.
This plugin is dedicated to Robert Puff and Daniel Spreadbury.
Updated 28 August 2018. Version 01.52.00. Removed adjustment that caused values to be rounded incorrectly and could add incorrect cumulative spacing offsets.
Updated 26 April 2020. Version 01.55.00. Changed descriptions and default name for preset data file folder to make it harder to do the wrong thing. (It is almost always best to create the folder the first time and just use that folder only for plugin preset files). Also added a new option to let you see and change the folder used for presets, and to restore the default preset files.The included PDF file has been updated and includes screenshots of the settings for the default preset files.

__This plugin requires Sibelius 7.13 or later. __Creates a copy of a score with all repeats written out as separate bars. It uses the ordering shown in Play > Repeats, and will optionally delete any repeat barlines, end lines, and Repeat or Jump text. __User defined text, symbols, and lines will have to be deleted by hand. The plugin will warn if the playback structure indicates there are still repeats after the plugin is run. If playback does not go from start to end, go to the bars where playback changes and delete the objects that are affecting playback. __Updated 28 December 2016. Fixed crash that occurred when a repeated section consisted of a single bar. __The plugin will not run if there are jumps that are not at the end of a bar. It will not run if there are any unreachable bars. It will add time signatures to any irregular bars to avoid problems with the pasting of irregular bars. __There are likely many things that can go wrong, so check the output carefully. __This plugin is gratefully dedicated to Daniel Spreadbury and Michael Eastwood. __Updated 25 June 2023.

This plugin processes the *entire* score or parts, disregarding any selection.
Except when tracing, the plugin adds a page number change before the first bar. In some cases you may not want this, and you should select and delete the first page number.
''Display results'' will trace changes to existing page number change objects.

Float Rests
Version 01.55.00

For use with Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
Moves rests that are under beams to the first position where the rest will not change the stem length of the beamed notes.
It will only move rests in bars whose notes and rests are in a single voice, and skips cross-staff-beamed notes. Set the Engraving Rules option to beam over rests before running this plugin.
Rules for note layout are complex, and the plugin will not always get the position correct, so please check the output visually.

Flip Tie Symbols
Version 01.06.00
Added 07 Dec 2014 (last updated 19 Jun 2018)
For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
Swaps the symbols "l.v. up" and "l.v. down". The effect is that the "ties" appear to flip direction.
This can be helpful if you have many such symbols used to represent ties, as happens if you are using the plugin Add LV Symbols to Notes, which creates ties using these symbols.
Updated 26 August 2015 to restore a missing zip file.
Updated 19 June 2018. Added dialog with lists of available symbols to swap. The plugin now selects any changed symbols at the end.

This zip file contains 2 plugins, Save and Export and Save With Previous Version. Both plugins will save the current score and also export one of more copies of the score in different formats. It is recommended that this plugin be assigned to a shortcut, and used in place of or in addition to the regular Save, so that the score and its copies remain in sync.
Save and Export saves the current score and simultaneously exports one or more copies of the score in an earlier version of Sibelius and/or in PDF or MusicXML format. The exported files are in the same folder as the original score, and overwrite any files with the same name.
The plugin will display a dialog the first time it is run in a Sibelius session, and you can choose the output format you want and to which earlier version to save. The dialog can be hidden for the rest of the Sibelius session.
Save With Previous Version can be run in Sibelius 6 as well as later versions. It saves the current score and simultaneously exports a copy of the score in the previous version of Sibelius. The exported file is in the same folder as the original score, and overwrites any file with the same name. There are no options and no dialog will appear. Currently any version of Sibelius after version 7 will save in version 7 format.
Updated 6 November 2015 to prevent Save and Export from running prior to Sib 7.1.3.
Updated 13 November 2015. Added checkbox to trace the folder location of exported files. Exported files go to the same folder as the score they came from, but that location is not always obvious.
Updated 21 May 2020. Version 01.20.00. General code cleanup. If you run these plugins in Sibelius Ultimate 2020.6 or later you can export in several previously unavailable versions from 7.5 to 2020.1.
Updated 05 October 2021. Version 01.30.00. Updated PDF export which was broken in 2021.0 and also updated uncompressed musicxml filename.

Unfold Repeat Bar Rests

Replaces repeat bar rests with the contents of the appropriate bars. It will always copy notes, rests, tuplets, slurs, and non-hairpin staff lines. Chord symbols, dynamics, and some staff text may optionally be copied. Lyrics and other staff objects will not be copied.
If the "2 or more present in the source bars" option is used, hairpins will be copied if there are 2 or more hairpins or if there is 1 hairpin and 2 or more pieces of dynamics text.
If ''Copy all voices'' is unchecked, objects are copied only if they match the voice of the repeat bar rest.
For 2- or 4-bar repeats, the first bar that contains the repeat rest must be selected.
Unfolding affects both score and parts. If you make a copy of the score then run the plugin on the copy, you can use the copy for the unfolded bars, and the original score for the repeated bars.

Clipboards
Version 01.30.00
Added 09 May 2016 (last updated 30 Mar 2020)
For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
Clipboards lets you store the contents of selections into up to 30 numbered clipboards, and to paste from those clipboards into a score.
It is in many ways a much-scaled-down version of Sibelius Ideas, and if you want something like this, I suggest you first have a look at Ideas. One of the few advantages of Clipboards over Ideas is that you can assign shortcuts to specific numbered clipboards by using the ClipCopyx and ClipPastex plugins, and you cannot assign keys to Ideas.
Clipboards is a suite of several plugins.
Clipboards is the main plugin, and it lets you copy a selection into a numbered clipboard or paste from a filled clipboard to a selected area in your score. The data in these clipboards only lasts for a single Sibelius session. If you copy from a different score, that score must remain open while you are using the data. The data is not held in an actual clipboard, but when you paste the plugin uses internal Sibelius clipboards. If you paste between scores, even between a score and a part, the system clipboard will be used, so data you might have put there will be overwritten.
ClipCopy1 and ClipCopy2 will copy the selection to clipboards 1 and 2 respectively. ClipPaste1 and ClipPaste2 paste from clipboards 1 and 2, assuming there is something to be pasted. It is intended that you assign keyboard shortcuts to these plugins. There are instructions in the PDF document for creating more of these plugins to access more clipboards.
Load Clipboard Presets lets you create a Sibelius score containing bits you want to copy. You delimit the bits with Rehearsal Marks, and you can add Tempo Text starting with "DESC:" to the same bar as a Rehearsal Mark and it will become the description for that clipboard.
These plugins are described in more detail in the included PDF file.
Updated 18 December 2016 to prevent Paste adding duplicate slurs
Updated 22 December 2016 to do a better job preventing duplicates, thanks to a technique by Kenneth Gaw, which he gave me permission to use.
Updated 7 January 2017. Reworked the way passage selections were handled and how duplicates were prevented.
Updated 25 January 2020. Version 01.27.00. Fixed a bug in the paste code
Updated 30 March 2020. Version 01.30.00. Restored missing Load Clipboard Presets plugin to the zip file. Updated all files so they have consistent version numbers, and made Clip Copy 4 and 5 more consistent with 1 - 3. The basic code is unchanged, and this is really just housekeeping.
Updated 30 March 2020. Load Clipboard Presets version number had not been updated. Updated to 01.30.00 to align with other files.

The value specified here can replace the current value from the Note Spacing rule for this score or it can be added to that value. Manual spacing adjustments will be lost.
Updated 28 August 2018. Version 01.06.00. Removed adjustment that caused values to be rounded incorrectly and could add incorrect cumulative spacing offsets.

Save All Close All
Version 01.09.00
Added 16 Mar 2019 (last updated 24 Sep 2020)
For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
This is 2 plugins: Save All Close All and Save All. Save All Close All puts up a dialog that will get you save all currently open scores and / or close them all.
Closing all will leave you in Sibelius with no scores open, as if you had closed the scores from File Close. Click the X in the upper right corner to return to Quick Start or close Sibelius.
Save All runs without a dialog, and it saves all open scores.
It takes a while to save or close each score, so please do not do anything else until it is clear that the plugins have finished their work.
These plugins were suggested by Joao Pais.
PLEASE NOTE: These plugins have limitations. It is recommended that instead of these plugins, you use the built-in Save All and Close All commands. These are not accessible on a menu, but you can assign shortcuts to them in File-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts-File Tab.
Updated 24 September 2020. Version 01.09.00. Cleaned up Save All Close All to perform better. There is now an option to Close All without saving changes, which is not possible with the built-in Close All command. Note that using Close All in the plugin will leave a blank new score behind, which a plugin has to do to avoid crashing as the last score closes.
In general, the built-in menu commands used with shortcuts are probably better than this plugin, unless you often open a bunch or scores and want to close then without seeing the Save Changes dialog. I have removed the Save All plugin from the zip file since it has no advantages over the built-in command.

Align Objects To Barline
Version 01.21.00
Added 11 Jul 2019 (last updated 05 Aug 2019)
For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
Moves selected Text or Symbols close to a barline. Aligning right moves an object to the end of its current bar, aligning left moves it to the end of the previous bar, which is the closest it can get to a barline.
If an object is in the first bar in a system, left alignment will move it to the first beat following the left barline in the same bar to prevent it moving to the end of the previous system, unless the checkbox is set to force all objects to the end of the previous bar.
It is important to check moved objects in parts, where system breaks may be different from the full score. Check also if you change the number of bars in a system to be sure a move text does not go to the previous system. Objects already aligned will not be moved.
Only Text and Symbol objects are processed.
Updated 27 July 2019. Version 01.10.00. Minor changes to improve calling Position Rehearsal Mark plugin.
Updated 5 August 2019. Version 01.21.00. Added ability to process lines, including the ability to align both ends of a line to barlines. This can be useful when you want to use text in a line to center the text in a bar.

For use with Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
Initial version 01.08.00. Requires Sibelius Ultimate 2020.3 or later.
Matches LV symbols to a corresponding note, if possible, based on the voice and position of the notes and symbols in each bar. If successful, it deletes the symbols and adds an LV tie to the notes.
You can choose the symbols to be replaced. The list includes any symbols that have been used in this score. The default options will be those used in Add LV Symbols to Notes.
A PDF file is included with the zip file, and will be downloaded at installation. Similar material is available in the Help screen.
Updates 25 June 2020. Version 01.08.01. Happy Birthday Trevor. Fixed layout of dialogs on Macs.
Updated 6 October 2020. Fixed problems when there was one but only only symbol present in the score.Plugin will now process it.

Make Page Count Even
Version 01.10.00
Added 18 Jul 2020 (last updated 18 Jul 2020)
For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
Make Page Count Even Original Version 01.10.00 added July 18, 2020. This plugin changes the number of pages in a score as needed to make the number of pages in the score a multiple of 2, 4, or 8. This can be useful if you are printing or exporting to PDF a group of files, so scores with odd numbers of pages will be made to fill both sides of the sheets of paper.
It does this by adding or removing specially marked blank pages at the end of a score. The default, and likely most common, use is to make a score have an even number of pages. To do this leave the default settings of Multiple = 2, and the plugin will determine the closest number of pages that is a multiple of 2, and add or remove the appropriate number of trailing blank pages to make the page count match the chosen multiple.
The deletable blank pages that the plugin adds have a small hidden piece of text added with the text ~Intentionally Blank, which allows such pages to be deleted by the plugin. Do not delete this text unless you are sure you want these pages to be non-deletable. They will not show up in printouts or PDF files.
A PDF document is included in the zip file. I recommend looking it over before running the plugin.

Trace Page Numbers Score and Parts
Version 01.07.00
Added 26 Jul 2020 (last updated )
For use with Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
Original version 01.07.00. Trace Page Numbers Score and Parts writes the pages numbers in a full score and all of its parts to the Plugin Trace Window. It displays the total number of pages in the score or part, and then breaks down the pages into 3 groups:
The number of blank pages, such as title pages and front matter, before the page containing the first bar of music.
The number of pages containing music, namely the page containing the first bar of music through and including the page containing the last bar of music.
The number of blank pages following the last page of music.
It then displays the page number for the first page containing music, along with an indication of whether that page is a left-handed page or a right-handed page. The "handedness" of that page is based on the internal or sequential page number, where the first internal page number is always 1.
The displayed or external page number, which is the one that is printed on the pages of the score, is used by Sibelius in its Spreads view, but that does not reflect the handedness of the first page of music when the score is printed double-sided to a printer. If the calculation is done with the internal page number, the handedness will be correct for double-sided printed pages.
If the internal page number is even, the page will be marked "L", for left-handed. A page with an odd internal number will be marked R, for right.
For the handedness display, the page number will show both the external page number and the internal page number in parentheses if the numbers are different.
This plugin processes the current score only. To process a folder of scores, run Run Plugin on Folder of Scores, and have it run Trace Page Numbers Score and Parts.

Adjust Grace Note Stem Lengths
Version 01.11.00
Added 28 Jul 2020 (last updated 03 Sep 2020)

Original version 01.10.00. This plugin adjusts stem lengths for 8th- and 16th-note unbeamed single grace notes so that the slash (if any) either intersects a staff line or lies completely within a staff space.
The values given to the notes will appear as the Y offset of the note in the Inspector.
The given pitches reference treble clef staff positions rather than absolute pitches. B4 represents the middle staff line in any 5-line staff.
Updated 03 September 2020. Version 01.11.00.Changed sizes of fields in dialog and made other minor changes to work better in Sib 6. For Sib 6, the plugin Stem Direction Sib 6 must also be downloaded and installed.

Which House Style To Use
Version 01.07.00
Added 06 Sep 2020 (last updated 06 Sep 2020)
For use with Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
Installed 5 September 2020. Original version 01.07.00.
This plugin will display the 3 main fonts (font family) in the current score: the Main Music Font, used for noteheads and most music symbols, the Music Text Font, used for dynamics and some other music text characters and the font used for the Plain Text text style, used for common text in scores.
This plugin will identify and list any installed House Styles that have the same font family. It will not import a House Style - do that in Sibelius itself.
To import a House Style into your score without dramatically changing the appearance of the score, choose a House Style whose main fonts match the main fonts in this score.
This plugin can also trace the main fonts for all the House Styles installed on your machine.

House Styles For Manuscript Papers
Version 01.06.00
Added 06 Sep 2020 (last updated )
For use with Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x
House Styles For Manuscript Papers looks at all the Manuscript Papers you have currently installed, tells you the font family each uses, and tries to match the Manuscript Paper to House Styles that have the same font family.<[p>
For each Manuscript Paper, it creates a new temporary score using that Manuscript Paper, and extracts the font family from the score. Since there are about 75 shipping Manuscript Papers, this can take a few minutes to complete.
Each entry in the traced output has 3 fields (Manuscript paper name,Font Family,House Style Name(s)). The fields are separated by a "~", so it can be read into a spreadsheet.

This plugin allows you to import or export Sibelius plugin settings from one user to another by reading or writing data files containing the settings.
1. Export settings using the Export option. This will create a text file in your Sibelius default Scores folder containing the settings. Copy this file to the Scores folder of another user or machine.
2. On the new machine, use the Import option to read the exported settings from the data file into the Preferences database. This will merge with and overwrite some existing settings for the plugin, so use the database backup option to make recovery easier, should that be needed.

_Added 17 October 2020. Original Version 01.10.01. _This plugin redefines the built-in Arpeggio Up line to look like a vertical bracket. You can no longer use that line for its original purpose, but you can now add the line in the 5th keypad layout to create self-adjusting vertical brackets attached to notes for things like double stops and un-arpeggiated Harp chords. _Like many interesting ideas, this came from Philip Rothman, and this plugin is dedicated to him. _A PDF file and a House Style file will be downloaded when this plugin is installed. I suggest reading the PDF. _Each time you run this plugin on a new score you must first export a House Style named NABracket_Temp from the score. The plugin will import part of that House Style to restore possibly replaced Symbols and Text styles, and it will then delete the temporary House Style. See the PDF or Help for details. _You only need to export the House Style once per score. __Updated 13 November 2020. Version 01.10.02. Updated some of the Do Not Show Dialog code. __Updated 29 February 2024 Version 01.10.10. Previous upload did not include the House Style lib file and the explanatory PDF file.

This plugin allows you to numerically adjust the horizontal or vertical offsets of Note Attached Arpeggios relative to the notes to which they are attached.
All offsets are in Spaces, and are relative to the current arpeggio position, not the default position. To reset to default positions use Reset Position in Sibelius.
This is a companion plugin to Note Attached Brackets, and there is an option to position an arpeggio as a bracket, which uses a large number of criteria to try to properly align a redefined arpeggio line to act as a vertical bracket.

Initial version 01.10.00 added 6 November 2021.

Font names can be the full font name or any prefixes. Prefixes will be matched only if ''Report exact font name matches only'' is unchecked. A font name or prefix must be spelled EXACTLY as the font name appears in the font dropdowns. Updated 11 August 2022. Version 01.10.10. Fixed a few bugs and added ability to trace initial Instrument Names for staves that include explicit fonts.

Current Instrument Name Each Page

Current Instrument Name Each Page adds a text object containing the name of the instrument used in the first visible bar on each page of the score or part. It will adjust for Instrument Changes. The full score and each part have an independent set of instrument name text objects. Text created in the full score will be hidden in parts. Text created in a part will be visible only in that part, and hidden in the full score and any other parts that share a staff with the part. The plugin pays attention to the selection only in the Current score or part option, otherwise the entire score or part is processed. Unless you have a particular reason to format only a selection, a full selection of the score or part is recommended. If the selection is used, a passage (box) selection is required. Updated 25 July 2022 Version 01.10.00. Changed dialog to allow user to multiselect parts to be processed, and added ability to adjust X and Y offsets, similar to what Position Rehearsal Mark does. Allows system text items that can be page aligned, but this generates a huge number of hidden texts in parts so it is only recommended when using extracted parts. Updated 05 October 2022. Version 01.11.00. As of Ultimate 2022.9, the "Use Edited Names" option can pick up user-edited names that follow Instrument Changes. Previously it could find edited names from the Staff prior to the first IC, but could only get default names from the IC.- Download CurrentInstrumentNameEachPage.zip (26K, downloaded 1581 times)

Add Instrument Change With Names effectively does what the Sibelius Add Instrument command does, except that it allows you to specify both Instrument Names and Staff Names for the new Instrument Change. It also has a Use Previous Staff Names checkbox, so it can create a new Instrument Change with specified Instrument Names, but continue to use the previous Staff Names, rather than making them blank. __Use the New macro/plugin button to generate a command line, encoding all the current dialog settings, for the RunPluginEntry_cu command used in Execute Commands.

As its name suggests, this plugin offers the possibility to change the stem types to : - Sprechgesang (x on stem) - Sul Ponticello (Sul ponticello symbol on stem) - Buzz (curved z on stem) - Damp (Damp symbol on stem) The plug-in will automatically detect which font the active score uses and will calibrate the symbol positions based on that information. If the active score uses a custom font other than Opus, Helsinki or Norfolk, the "Custom Font Settings" button will be enabled. By clicking on it the user can set the custom values needed to position each symbol correctly. The user can export and import these settings to/from a .txt file for future use. The plug-in offers the possibility to adjust the stem lengths to avoid collisions, as well as the possibility to further fine-tune (if needed) the symbols' positions via dx, dy values. One of the methods this Plug-in uses is an adaptation of the "GetDyFromNote" Method that was developed by Bob Zawalich in his Plug-in "Add lv symbols to notes". Bob's website and resources were also of great help in writing this Plug-in.- Download ChangeStemType.zip (14K, downloaded 1045 times)

Multirests are handled differently than most plugins. If a passage selection starts or ends in the middle of a multirest because the selection was made when multirests were not active, the range of the selection will not include some of the bars in the multirest. This plugin will count bars as if the multirests were fully selected, but it will not adjust the selection itself to include all bars unless the ''Change selection'' checkbox is checked.
