Respace Clef Change

Version 01.04.01
Added 10 Aug 2012 (last updated 07 Feb 2026)

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, Sibelius 24.x, Sibelius 25.x and Sibelius 26.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.

Updated 7 February 2026. As of Ultimate 2024.6 the plugin will respace including hidden notes as it originally behaved.
