Add Note Names And Pitch

Version 02.02.00
Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 3.x

This plug-in is based on the Add Note Names plug-in included with Sibelius 3. It has a number of additional options, namely:

  • Ability to add octave (e.g. C4) and /or MIDI pitch (C4(72)) to a note name
  • New "font" option "Alternate Up-Down" that puts alternate note names above or below the staff. This is helpful for the octave/MIDI pitch options, which tend to overlap pretty quickly.

For Sibelius 5, use the shipping Add Note Names plugin.

German Chord Names

Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 11 Aug 2008)

For use with Sibelius 2.x, Sibelius 3.x, Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1 and Sibelius 5

This plug-in converts chord symbols text in your score between the German (B = B flat, H = B) and standard (Bb = B flat, B = B) conventions for chord symbols. This is useful when e.g. wanting to transpose German chord symbols (convert them to standard chord symbols, transpose, then convert them back to German chord symbols).

Updated August 9, 2008 to handle alternate flat symbol in Sib 5.

Add or Replace System Text

Version 01.80.00
Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 20 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 3.x, Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1, Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This plug-in can write up to three items of system text (e.g. Title, Copyright, Composer, etc.) to all the scores in a folder. It is able to replace any existing text if required.

Updated May 22, 2008 to work with user-defined styles in Sibelius 4 and 5.

Updated 2 April 2009 for internal code cleanup

Updated 7 June 2012 to add quiet opening checkbox to open scores from earlier versions with default options.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Reverse Text

Version 01.03.00
Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 3.x, Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1, Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Reverse Text reverses the order of text in each selected Text, Lyric, or System Text object. It will not reverse the orderof a sequence of objects, but just the text within single objects. If you want objects in the system staff (like Title Text) reversed, create a system (double blue box) selection.

One use for this might be to reverse Hebrew or Arabic text.

This plug-in does not handle multi-line text well; it is best to split such items into separate text objects for each line. (Multi-line items will reverse, but the line separator will be lost).

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

French Chord Names

Added 01 Aug 2005

For use with Sibelius 2.x and Sibelius 3.x

This plug-in converts chord symbols text in your score between the French (sol-fa) and standard (Bb = B flat, B = B) conventions for chord symbols. This is useful when e.g. wanting to transpose German chord symbols (convert them to standard chord symbols, transpose, then convert them back to French chord symbols).

Multirest Text

Version 01.81.00
Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 23 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 3.x, Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1, Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Multirest Text builds a text string out of 2 user-typed pieces of text and the optional multirest number, so you can add text like \\\\\\\"Play 3 times\\\\\\\" automatically to a multirest.

There are a number of centering options possible (see the Help screen for details), but it generally works best with text styles that are defined as centered. There are 2 \\\\\\\"built-in\\\\\\\" styles (Lyrics and Lyrics(chorus)), and you can also type in the name of any text style you wish.

Some sample text styles are defined in the included MultirestTextStyle.lib house style. Import the text styles from this house style, and two new entries will appear in the built in style list (Multirest center (Times) and Multirest center (Inkpen). You can also define your own styles, named Multirest center3 through Multirest center6, and these will also show up in the list. They are assumed by the plugin to be centered in both directions.

You can use uncentered styles and make adjustments by clicking on the Advanced button and using the fields in that dialog.

Updated 19 April 2009 to fix failure to handle custom text styles in Sib 5.

Smarten Quotes

Version 01.32.00
Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This update fixes the following issues:

  • The plug-in can now handle double quote marks correctly on Mac OS X.
  • The plug-in now correctly handles user-created lyrics text styles.

For Sibelius 5, use the shipping version of this plugin.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Add Verse Numbers

Added 20 Aug 2005 (last updated 30 Mar 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4

This plug-in fixes a problem with the version of Add Verse Numbers shipped with Sibelius 4, and is recommended for all Sibelius 4 users.

For Sibelius 5, use the shipping version of this plugin.

Plug-in written by Sibelius Software Ltd..

Tag Bar Number

Version 01.01.00
Added 20 Aug 2005 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 4

This plug-in finds all the bars in a score that have the same displayed bar number (due to bar number changes), and makes a list of their \"internal\" or \"consecutive\" bar numbers (the numbers that would show if there were no bar number changes).

It can also place the same piece of text in all the matching bars, and you can then use Find to go to those bar numbers (since Go To Bar only goes to the first bar with a displayed number).

So, for example , if \"internal\" bars 1 and 5 both display bar number 1, the list would show 1 and 5, and you could place the text \"~Tagged bar\" at the start of bars 1 and 5, and use Find to get you to those bars. Later, you can filter \"~Tagged bar\" and delete the selected tags.

This can be especially useful in large scores.

For Sibelius 5, this is no longer needed, as Go To will navigate to multiple bars with the same number.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Tag Rehearsal Mark

Version 01.05.00
Added 20 Aug 2005 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 4

This plug-in adds a piece of Technique text at the same location as any Rehearsal Marks in the score. Note that it will not tag text objects made of Rehearsal Mark text, but only Rehearsal Mark objects.

The purpose of the tag is to provide a label that can be \'gone to\' using the Find command.

The tag consists of the Rehearsal Mark label and an optional prefix. So if you had marks A, B, and C, in bars 2, 3, and 4, and the prefix was ~RM, bar 2 would get the text ~RMA, bar 3 ~RMB, and bar 4 ~RMC. Use Find on ~RM to go to those bars.

Run the plug-in again to update changed rehearsal marks, but if extensive changes have been made, it might be best to remove existing tags before re-running.

You can use the plug-in to remove (untag) the Rehearsal Marks later. It cannot actually delete the text tags, but it can either set them blank, or to a single text of your choosing. The latter is suggested, because you can set them to the same text (such as ~DeleteMe), and filter that text and delete them all at once.

For Sibelius 5, use the downloadable Go To plugin or Find Rehearsal Mark plugin instead.

Add Bar Number Changes For Rehearsal Marks

Version 01.25.00
Added 20 Aug 2005 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 4.1

This plug-in adds a bar number change at the same location as any rehearsal marks in the score. Note that it will not add changes in bars containing text objects made of Rehearsal Mark text, but only Rehearsal Mark objects.

The purpose of the tag is to help solve the problem of bar numbers overlapping rehearsal marks. Since normal bar numbers cannot be hidden, but bar number changes can be hidden, this is a first step towards hiding the bar numbers, and saves having to add the bar number changes manually.

In Sibelius 4, a plug-in cannot hide the bar number changes, so you will have to do it separately. If you know the bar numbers involved, you can go there with Go To Bar Number. The plug-in will write the affected bar numbers to the trace window to make the Rehearsal Marks easier to find.

If you are running Sibelius 4.1, however, the plug-in can hide the bar number changes for you.

Do not run this until the bar numbers are stable, since bar number change objects will not update if you add or delete bars.

Note that the plug-in will put bar number changes wherever there is a Rehearsal Mark, whether the bar number had been visible or not.

Changes in version 1.25: added the ability to choose whether bar numbers are hidden in both the score and parts, just the score, or just the parts.

In Sibelius 5, bar numbers can be hidden, so this plugin is no longer needed.

Updated 2 April 2009 for internal code cleanup

Number Multirest Bars

Version 02.05.00
Added 22 Aug 2005 (last updated 23 Jun 2012)

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

This plug-in adds text containing numbers for the range of bars contained in multirests. You can change the location of the text by changing its text style. You can specify text to precede or follow the bar numbers and a character to separate them.

For example, if bars 2 through 5 are a multirest, and you choose the defaults, you will see the text (2 - 5) below the staff at bar 2.

New in v2.05:

  • Custom text styles work in Sibelius 4, and there is a new option to center the text if a centered text style is used.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Renumber Pages

Added 14 Sep 2005 (last updated 06 Mar 2006)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This plug-in allows you to create customized page numbers and running header lines in your score. Features include:

  • Divide your document into sections whose pages are numbered independently, e.g. front matter numbered with lowercase Roman page numbers (i, ii, iii, ...) and main matter numbered with Arabic page numbers (1, 2, 3, ...)
  • Define a running header line which displays the title of the song or movement at the top of the page (automatically extracted from title text objects)
  • Automatic creation of a table of contents (experimental)
  • Support for title pages which are counted but do not show a page number or header line
  • Also support for more complex page number schemes, e.g. chapter-wise (I-1, I-2, I-3, ..., II-1, II-2, II-3, ..., III-1, III-2, III-3, ...)

The .zip file contains the plug-in and a score which contains further explanations and is properly setup to demonstrate the usage. It is recommended to read the instructions in the example score and run the plug-in there first, before trying on your own score.

Updated to version 1.1 (6 March 2006), adding support for "page total" template to generate "XX of YY" numbering.

Plug-in written by Hans-Christoph Wirth.

Edit Instrument Names

Version 02.16.00
Added 02 Dec 2005 (last updated 22 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This plug-in allows you to edit the full and short instrument names, even if the name is empty, and difficult to click on. It creates a list of the instrument names (both the current visible name and the name when the instrument was created) of all staves in a score, and lets you change them.

It attempts to maintain font changes in the instrument name (such as the Opus Text change to b in Clarinet in Bb). You should check such names carefully, however.

Rewritten in February 2009 to allow up to 30 instruments to be updated one one dialog screen, and have multiple screens for more instruments.

Updated 23 February 2009 to improve tabbing order when there is more than 1 column of instruments.

Description edited - no longer works in v4

Updated 9 August 2011 for Sib 7 font compatibility

Updated 17 January 2012 to make dialog text fit better in Sib 7.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Tag Bar Number Changes

Version 01.05.00
Added 28 Dec 2005 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This plug-in adds a piece of Technique text at the same location as any Bar Number Changes in the score.

The purpose of the tag is to provide a label that can be \'gone to\' using the Find command.

The tag consists of the displayed bar number and an optional prefix. So if you had changes to bars 20, 100, and 1, in bars 2, 3, and 4, and the prefix was ~BNC, bar 2 would get the text ~BNC20, bar 3 ~BNC100, and bar 4 ~BNC1. Use Find on ~BNC to go to those bars.

Run the plug-in again to update changed bar number changes, but if extensive changes have been made, it might be best to remove existing tags before re-running.

You can use the plug-in to remove (untag) the Bar Number Changes later. It cannot actually delete the text tags, but it can either set them blank, or to a single text of your choosing. The latter is suggested, because you can set them to the same text (such as ~DeleteMe), and filter that text and delete them all at once.

In Sibelius 5, use the downloadable Go To plugin instead (use the bar number change option.

Add Slurs to Melismas

Added 02 Feb 2006

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This is a minor update to Add Slurs to Melismas that fixes problems with the plug-in shipped with Sibelius 4 and 4.1.

Plug-in written by Sibelius Software Ltd..

Toggle Text

Added 27 Feb 2006 (last updated 28 Feb 2006)

For use with Sibelius 4.1

This plug-in hides all text objects of a specified style with two keystrokes, and restores them on next invocation of the plugin.

This is useful for adding notes to your score which should not appear in the final output: Just make sure before that you use one text style exclusively for your notes.

Plug-in written by Hans-Christoph Wirth.

Copy Text For Delete Bar

Version 01.06.00
Added 11 Sep 2006 (last updated 22 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

Copy Text for Delete Bar copies any system text (such as Title, Composer, or Instrument name at top left) from one bar to another.

Typically you will copy from bar 1 to bar 2 when you want to delete bar 1 without losing the system text. The plug-in cannot delete the original text, but it can optionally hide it. It will disappear when the bar is deleted anyway. If a bar number is duplicated in the score (because of bar number changes), you will need to make a selection that excludes the duplicate of any bars you want to process.

Updated 24 January 2007: The plug-in now restores the hidden state of copied text, and makes an attempt at restoring the multiple fonts in a metronome mark. It also documents the fact that multi-line text will become single lines.

For Sibelius 5 and later, use Move System Objects For Delete Bar

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Distribute Score Info

Version 01.40.00
Added 18 Sep 2006 (last updated 22 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Distribute Score Info takes data from the File > Score Info Title, Composer, Lyricist, Subtitle, Dedication, or Copyright fields and replaces the contents of any existing Title, Composer, Lyricist, Subtitle, Dedication, or Copyright text items with this data. If no such text items exist, the plug-in will create an appropriate item in the first bar of the score. It can write out a wildcard for the data, or the data itself.

Updated 21 February 2012 to handle unsaved scores better.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Fill Score Info

Version 01.38.00
Added 18 Sep 2006 (last updated 22 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Fill Score Info will take data from edit boxes in a dialog and put them into the File > Score Info fields. It can be run on a single score or on a folder of scores.

It can also take Title, Composer, Lyricist or Copyright text in the score and put those into the corresponding Score Info fields. It can optionally fill only empty Score Info fields, and leave already filled ones alone.

If can be very useful for scores to be published on the web via Scorch (which require Score Info data, in order for the web page templates to look correct), and also as a starting point for database programs that can look at the Score Info fields, such as the Create Score Database plug-in.

Updated 26 April 2011. Include Subtitle and other fields not available in Sibelius 4. Now requires Sibelius 5 or later. For Sib 4, see Fill Score Info for Sibelius 4.

Updated 29 May 2011. New option (on by default) to maintain formatting in system text imported from the score. Useful for multi-line text. Be careful using this if you will generate Scorch files that use Score Info data, as formatting may not be accepted in all fields.

Change Case for Sibelius 4

Version 01.60.00
Added 17 Oct 2006 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This plug-in changes the case of text in a score. It will only convert the letters A..Z or a..z; it cannot handle accented characters. It can change text to UPPER CASE, lower case, tOGGLE cASE or Word Initial Case. It can change various types of text objects, including system text, lyrics, instrument names and score info data. It can be run on a single score or on a folder of scores.

Note that text that is in multiple lines will be converted to a single line, and any internal formatting (fonts or bold/italic, etc.) will be lost.

For Sibelius 5 and later, use Change Case.

Updated 9 August 2011 for Sib 7 font compatibility

This plug-in manipulates lyrics in scores that have been imported from PhotoScore Professional.

Plug-in written by Peter Hayter.

Enumerate Instruments

Added 13 Feb 2007 (last updated 26 Feb 2007)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This plug-in will enumerate consecutive, similar instrument names in a score, useful to have e.g. Flute 1, Flute 2, Flute 3, Oboe 1, Oboe 2, etc. as instrument names in the score.

The plug-in will handle instruments with multiple staves (e.g. Piano, Harp) correctly and running the plug-in again after changing the instrumentation will update the ordinal numbers. The plug-in won't be able to identify where multiple players would read from a single staff (e.g. Horn 13, 24); the user should manually put this in.

Plug-in written by Andrew Moschou.

Instrument List

Version 01.10.00
Added 05 May 2007 (last updated 23 Jun 2012)

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

This plug-in adds a list of the instruments at the start of the selected staves as a text item at the start of the score.

You can choose which elements will appear in the list, and the order in which they will appear.

Updated 29 November 2009. Now places the text at the start of the selection if any, fixes a bug with the title text, adds Instrument changes for Sib 5+, and allows you to specify if the list will appear in the score or in a part.

Updated 27 July 2010. Under Sib 6, it can now insert the instrument list onto a Sib 6-style title page.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Fix PhotoScore Lyrics

Added 17 May 2007 (last updated 24 Jul 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1 and Sibelius 5

This plug-in replaces lyrics read by Photoscore (which when sung over many notes usually lack of the appropriate hyphen line or end of word line) with the correct Sibelius objects.

Simply make a passage selection and run the plug-in. Use Layout > Reset Position afterwards if you find hyphens colliding with adjacent syllables.

Plug-in written by Hans-Christoph Wirth.

Find and Replace Text

Added 22 Jun 2007 (last updated 29 Mar 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This is an update to the version of Find and Replace Text included with Sibelius 4, and fixes a problem whereby the plug-in will not correctly replace lyrics or system text unless the selection also contains a normal item of text.

Thanks to Bob Zawalich for this fix.

For Sibelius 5, use the shipping version of this plugin or (better) the downloadable Find and Replace Text for Sibelius 5

Delete Empty Text Strings

Version 01.50.00
Added 05 Oct 2007 (last updated 22 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Deletes truly empty text strings, which were probably put into a score by a plug-in or file converter. These are usually not a problem, but if they are, this will clean them up.

Updated Jan 1, 2009 to add staff info to trace.

Updated Jan 11, 2009 to fix bug that deleted *all* text if the all-spaces checkbox was unchecked.

Updated 12 Feb 2009 to restructure some code.

Updated 16 May 2009 to allow empty and spaces only strings to be deleted separately, and also added a trace-only option

Delete Duplicate Text Lines Symbols

Version 01.03.00
Added 06 Oct 2007 (last updated 22 Jun 2012)

Move System Objects For Delete Bar

Version 01.50.00
Added 06 Oct 2007 (last updated 23 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This is an update of Copy Text For Delete Bar. Copies any system objects (such as Title, Composer, or Instrument name at top left, time signatures, key signatures, rehearsal marks) from one bar to another.

Typically you will copy from bar 1 to bar 2 when you want to delete bar 1 without losing the system objects. If a bar number is duplicated in the score (because of bar number changes), you will need to make a selection that excludes the duplicate of any bars you want to process.

Updated 15 May 2010 to fix incorrect copying of time signatures from pickup bars and special barlines

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Change Case

Version 01.59.00
Added 06 Oct 2007 (last updated 22 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Changes the case of text in a score. It will only convert the letters A..Z or a..z; it cannot handle accented characters. It can change text to UPPER CASE, lower case, tOGGLE cASE or Word Initial Case. It can change various types of text objects, including system text, lyrics, instrument names and score info data. It can be run on a single score or on a folder of scores.

Unlike earlier versions, multiple line text will be retained as will any internal formatting (fonts or bold/italic, etc.).

Updated March 26, 2008 to allow changing the case of non-\\\\\\\"English\\\\\\\" characters, thanks to the MakeChangecase plugin (included in the zip file) which was generously contributed by Andrew Moschou. These include accented, Greek, and Cyrillic characters.

Please note: do not use this plugin on bold Expression text or chord symbols, or any other text that uses a font that does not have matching upper and lower case letters in the traditional locations.

Updated February 7, 2009 to change the Instrument Names code to only use special flat accidentals for lower case b if it follows A, B, D, or E.

Updated April 20, 2009 to put the MakeChangeCase plugin back in the zip file

Updated 29 Sept 2011 to rename file on download page.

Added 06 Oct 2007 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Restores the tempo at the start of the selection to the end of the selection. It can be used for “a tempo”.

Updated 18 December 2011 to add in missing variable.

Updated 19 December 2011. New option for text style, options saved across Sibelius sessions, new warning text.

Updated 21 December 2011. Fixed bug that gave wrong values if time signature changes within the selection range.

Updated 22 December 2011. Changed the way a beat is calculated to match what Sibelius does for current tempo.

Bracket Expression Text

Version 01.88.00
Added 15 Nov 2007 (last updated 20 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Puts brackets or parentheses (or any chosen character(s)) around selected expression text. It is especially useful for bold expressions entered with the ctrl or cmnd key, since those involve a font change.

Updated 7 November 2009 to add spacing around 'f' characters to avoid collisions with the brackets. Sib 6.1 is recommended, though it will work in Sib 5.

Updated 23 Feb 2011. It now allows you to process Expression dynamic text (which starts with a font change, and is typically bold) separately from normal expression text. It also allows to to use bold brackets for dynamics only or for all expressions.

Updated 21 November 2011 to handle dynamics correctly in Sib 7.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Add Cresc Dim Lines

Version 01.35.00
Added 15 Nov 2007 (last updated 20 Jun 2012)

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

Adds crescendo and/or diminuendo lines and optional expression text to a selection.

You can include Expression Text if desired; if the edit boxes are blank, only the line(s) will appear. Type or select an appropriate font if you want bold expression text.

To increase the amount of space surrounding the characters, increase the Rhythmic space per character (quarter note = 256 units). This may expand the output past the selection. It cannot be expanded past the end of the score.

You may still need to adjust horizontal spacing using arrow keys.

This will run in Sib 4, but some features are missing and text and lines will not align as well as in Sib 5

Updated April 4, 2008 (version 1.20) to allow choice of line type at each position, so you can reverse the dynamics

Updated 1 December 2011 to handle Sib 7 fonts.

Updated 10 January 2012 to allow more line type.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Remove Lyric Extension Lines

Version 01.70.00
Added 14 Dec 2007 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

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

Changes all final syllables or single word lyrics to apply to 1 note, thus removing the extension lines. May be useful if note values have changed.

Updated 17 December 2011. Added ability to center of left justify syllables and ability to remove only durationally short extension lines.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Reposition Dynamics

Version 01.07.00
Added 14 Apr 2008 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Processes Expression text and hairpins for \"vocal\" staves, which expect dynamics to go above, rather than below the staff. It will also move dynamics on non-vocal staves to the bottom of the staff.

If it finds dynamics in the wrong location relative to the center staff line, it will move them to the corresponding location on the opposite side of the center staff line.

This is useful for scores with a mix of vocal and non vocal staves.

It does not change the text or line style, but moves the objects as you would by dragging them by hand; \"Reset Position\" will restore them to their original position. It will not change the position of objects that are already on the correct side of the center line.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Trombone Slide Positions

Added 21 Apr 2008 (last updated 06 Aug 2010)

For use with Sibelius 3.x, Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1, Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Adds possible slide positions for selected Bb/F trombone notes in the range from F an octave below the bass stave to the Bb an octave above it.

You can specify which voices should be marked.

Lets you create and install a new plug-in that, when run, will insert a piece of text into the score. The properties of the text are taken from text (staff text, system text, or lyrics) that is selected when Create Add Text Plugin is run. If you assign a shortcut to the new plug-in, you will have, in effect, a way to assign a shortcut to an individual piece of formatted text.

The generated plugin will be put by default in the "Add Text" subfolder of your user Plug-ins folder. The name will include the text style and some of the text.

Updated 9 August 2011 for Sib 7 user file location compatibility

In order to assign shortcuts to the newly-created plug-ins, you must first close and restart Sibelius, so the new plug-ins will be loaded.

Updated 13 December 2010 to transfer the show/hide state in both the score and parts (Sib 6 only). The zip file now contains 2 plugins one for Sibelius 5 only, the other for Sibelius 6 and later.

Updated 22 Oct 2011 to restore the Sib 5 version

Updated 6 February 2012 to fix crash when choosing system text.

Updated 12 Oct 2012 to reduce restrictions on user-defined text.

Add Pitch Class to Notes

Version 02.51.00
Added 13 Dec 2008 (last updated 20 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Adds pitch class numbers for selected notes, including quartertones.

You can specify which pitch to use for pitch class 0, and also mark classes 10 and 11 so they will not be confused with 1 and 0.

All pitch classes with be assigned to the voice \\\'all voices\\\'. If you use Lyrics style, each voice will be assigned to a different lyrics verse (voice 1 = Lyrics line 1, etc.), so the voices will be at different heights and may be filtered for, using the text style.

Updated 2 April 2009 for internal code cleanup

Find and Replace Text for Sibelius 5

Added 17 Mar 2009 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5

This is an update of the plugin that ships with Sibelius version 5.25. The update fixes a problem encountered with processing lyrics, and also allows colors other than Red for coloring changes, and lets you run the plugin without showing the dialog after the first time it is run in a Sibelius session.

It also fixes a problem where all text in all bars that included selected text would be processed. Now only text which is actually selected will be processed.

Changes made by Bob Zawalich

In Sibelius 6 use the shipping version of this plugin.

Plug-in written by Stefan Behrisch.

Add Note Names To Noteheads White

Version 02.05.00
Added 08 Apr 2009 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Works like the shipping Add Note Names to Noteheads plugin, writing the name of a note inside the notehead using the Opus Note Names font.

It also creates a stemless white colored note behind each note to block out the staff and leger lines.

You must install the included House Style, Opus Note Names No Leger.lib in your user House Style Folder (located at the same level as your user Plugins folder).

It will only work on a file that has notes only in voice 1. The visible notes will be changed to be in voice 3 (the white notes are in voice 1). You can rerun the plugin if you need to change notes that have been transposed.

Updated 29 June 2009 to handle notes within tuplets

Updated 17 November 2011. If running in Sibelius 6.1 or later, you must install the included House Style, Opus Note Names No Leger 6-1.lib in your user House Style Folder.

If you are running Sibelius 7.1.2 or later, you will be better results by using the shipping Add Note Names To Noteheads Plugin (Notations - Noteheads - Add Note Names).

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Insert Current Dynamics

Version 01.30.00
Added 16 Apr 2009 (last updated 23 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Will insert the most recent dynamic (expression text) into all selected bars, or optionally into selected bars that follow a system or page break, double barline, or Rehearsal Mark. The dynamics may be parenthesized.

It cannot determine where a system or page starts, but if you lock the score or put in explicit page and system breaks, dynamics can effectively be placed at the start of systems.

If you want bold expressions, you must specify a Music text font. Valid fonts include Opus Text and Inkpen2 Text.

Updated 26 May 2009 to allow dynamics to be placed in the first bar of a system or page, even if the file is unlocked, when run in Sibelius 6.

Updated 9 August 2011 for Sib 7 font compatibility

Updated 23 Oct 2011. Music text font now initialized to the score music text font.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Round Metronome Marks

Added 13 Jun 2009 (last updated 15 Oct 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This plug-in examines the entire score and rounds metronome marks, turning for example q=60.0003 into q=60~q=60.0003. So only the display is rounded; the tempo for playback isn't changed.

It will treat metronome marks it finds in metronome text or tempo text. It ignores marks that are already preceded with a tilde.

There's an option to round the metronome marks to the nearest proper metronome value, or you can round to the nearest x decimal places.

Updated 15 October 2012: This version of the plug-in handles commas for decimal marks.

Plug-in written by Neil Sands.

Add Tonic Sol-Fa

Added 22 Oct 2009 (last updated 22 Oct 2009)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This version of the plug-in is for Sibelius 6.1, and fixes a problem whereby the sol-fa text added is moved around by Magnetic Layout.

Plug-in written by James Larcombe & Neil Sands.

Scale Numbers

Added 26 Oct 2009 (last updated 26 Nov 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This plug-in allows you to scale all numbers (with text) in a selection. It is ideal for scaling tempo and metronome markings in one automated swoop. In addition to being able to process both staff and system text, there is also a rounding function.

Plug-in written by Roman Molino Dunn.

Number Staff Names

Version 01.02.00
Added 24 Dec 2009 (last updated 23 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Adds or removes the sequential staff number to the Full Instrument Name of a staff. It can be useful for keeping track of staves with the same name (Flute, Violin, etc.) when there are multiple such instruments.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Find and Replace Multi-Filter

Version 02.02.00
Added 31 Dec 2009 (last updated 22 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Lets you set up a set of find/replace/text style filter combinations that can be used to call Find and Replace Text plugin multiple times.

Like all "global replace" schemes, it runs the risk of replacing something you had already replaced, so you need to be careful about replacing in the correct order.

The plugin lets you set up multiple sets of replacement texts, and for each set you can specify a text style to filter on before running Find and Replace Text. The plugin remembers the original selection and restores it after each pass, so the filtering always works on the possibly altered original text.

The list of text styles is a small subset of all styles, but there is an Add Text Style button that lets you add more styles, and these are remembered across Sib sessions.

You can get 15 sets on a page, and can get more pages as needed, so there is no limit, except perhaps time.

It is possible to set up and save and restore multiple "text sets", so if you want to run a certain set of replacements on one score and another set on another score you do not have to retype them all.

Updated 19 October 2011 to use Std fonts in Sib 7.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Verse Styles For Lyrics

Version 01.05.0
Added 10 Apr 2010 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Combines selected lyrics that are of approximately the same vertical spacing into a single lyrics text style, aligned at the same position.

It will not work well if there are overlapping lyrics, or the heights of lyrics in a verse have greatly different vertical positions, or there are different numbers of verses in different parts of the score. You can run the plugin on sub-selections of the score to get around some of those problems.

It can create up to 5 lines of lyrics, with styles Lyrics Line 1 to 5. Only lyrics below the staff are processed.

This plugin may be particularly useful after using Photoscore to read in a score with multiple verses of lyrics, as Photoscore puts all lyrics in the style Lyrics Line 1. It is intended to be used to prepare a score for running the Fix Photoscore Lyrics plugin.

Please proofread carefully after running the plugin.

Make Page 1 of Part(s) Left Facing

Added 01 May 2010

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Allows you to designate one, some or all parts to start on a left facing page 1, without affecting the normal page number positions of the undesignated parts or the score. This is particularly useful for parts with a length of two pages and for situations where starting a part on a left page offers the performer simpler page turns.

Thanks to Bob Zawalich for providing the base code for the dialog box and for general advice.

Plug-in written by Ed Hirschman.

Add Note Names

Added 02 May 2010 (last updated 02 May 2010)

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

This is an update of the plugin that ships with Sibelius 6.2 and earlier. The update allows it to process notes selected with a multiple (non-passage) selection. Earlier versions would select the entire score if there were not a passage selection. So now you can filter notes and run the plugin on the result.

One small quirk is that if you select only some notes of a chord, the chord will be processed as if it were completely selected. However, unselected single notes in a bar will not be processed (unlike earlier versions).

Add Work Number to the Top of Page

Added 13 Jul 2010 (last updated 13 Jul 2010)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This plug-in adds user-specified text to the top of the first page of the score, each part or both. Many font, placement, color and style options are available. Performing groups with many pieces in their "book" can add a unique number (a.k.a. Work or Library Number) to the top of each piece and then sort the music in the book by number. This allows leaders to create set lists by number instead of title. Numbers make it easier for musicians to locate the next piece during "sets" and to quickly find a piece the leader unexpectedly calls that is not on the set list. Also, these numbers are useful for organizing stored music.

Numbers added to parts are in approximately the correct location. Numbers added to the score will require manual vertical adjustment as that can’t be controlled through a plug-in at the moment. Please do review each before you print. If the selected text colors are not appearing on screen as expected, go to the Sibelius View menu and ensure Differences in Parts is unchecked.

JazzText and Reprise Rehearsal fonts appear within the special borders those fonts provide. Every other font appears as Sibelius boxed text.

Plug-in written by Ed Hirschman.

Export Text In Score

Version 01.20.00
Added 15 Jul 2010 (last updated 12 Dec 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Exports selected text or system text to a text file and/or the trace window. The text file can be opened in another application for spell checking. Lyrics are not exported; if you need them use the shipping Export Lyrics plugin.

Updated December 12, 2012 (12/12/12) to fix bugs when selection does not start at the start of the score, and added options to omit labels and to export in chronological order (by staves within bar position within bars). If text were notes, chronological order would be the order in which the notes were played.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Add Fingering To Notes

Version 01.55.00
Added 20 Aug 2010 (last updated 20 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Adds fingering numbers immediately to the left of noteheads. Type the numbers you want separating numbers with spaces or commas (or both). Numbers will be applied to selected notes in the order in which they were selected. For chords, notes are always processed from low to high pitch.

The fingering avoids accidentals if Magnetic Layout is on in Sibelius 6. You can adjust the horizontal and vertical offsets, and these values are remembered across Sibelius sessions.

Updated 22 August 2010. The original plugin is in the zip file renamed Add Fingering To Notes Sib 5, and it will run on Sib 5 or later. Add Fingering To Notes will now only run on Sib 6 or later, and the interface has changed so you see a keypad with numbers. Move the dialog so you can see the selected notes, then click a number button to add that number in fingering text to the next note in the selection.

Updated 23 August 2010. The Sib 5 plugin now allows you to specify the text style used for fingering. Some styles, like Expression, do not work well because their Magnetic Layout settings keep them out of the staff, so choose carefully. The Sib 6 version adds the ability to enter the fingering number 0.

Updated 12 September 2010. Many changes, including keyboard access to keypad for Mac users, ability to enter new text, including symbols as text. Added PDF document and helper plugin, Symbol As Text.

Updates 13 October, 2010 to fix bug involving clef changes in bar 1 of a score.

Updated 21 January 2011. Add delay loop at start for Mac users to drag Stop window off score, and fixes for custom text sets.

Updated 2 February 2011. Restored missing PDF file and Symbol As Text plugin. Moved Sib 5 plugin to its own entry in database.

Updated 13 April 2011. Minor bugfixes; also removed Load button and added Delete button to Options and rearranged keypad buttons,

Updated 11 May 2011. Added drop down list of text sets to keypad dialog. Note that in Windows, you can only scroll the drop down list using the mouse, not arrow keys, and that using it will reposition the dialog in the center of the screen. So it may or may not be helpful.

Updated 19 May 2011. Bug fixes; also now allow built-in text sets to be redefined and restored to default settings using Delete Custom.

Show Hide Instrument Names

Version 01.58.00
Added 04 Oct 2010 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This plugin changes the settings for Engraving Rules > Instrument so that the instrument names are either all set to None (Hide) or to Full at start, Short subsequently, and Full at sections (Show).

With luck, you will never have to use this. If you happen to be given a lot of scores that are not set the way you want, this can save some time. Works on the current score, all open scores, or a folder of scores.

Tin Whistle Fingering

Version 01.11.00
Added 19 Oct 2010 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Tin Whistle Fingering adds fingering diagrams, which are characters in a special font mapped to specific pitches, under each selected note.

The font Tin Whistle Tab was designed and donated by Blayne Chastain for this plugin, and can be freely distributed.

The zip file contains the plugin, the font, and 2 PDF documents describing the plugin and the font.

Updated 29 October 2010. Now skip notes that are tied to and adds an option to use a fingering only the first time a notes appears in the selection.

Add Fingering To Notes For Sibelius 5

Version 01.08.00
Added 02 Feb 2011 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5

Adds fingering numbers immediately to the left of noteheads. Type the numbers you want separating numbers with spaces or commas (or both). Numbers will be applied to selected notes in the order in which they were selected. For chords, notes are always processed from low to high pitch.

The fingering avoids accidentals if Magnetic Layout is on in Sibelius 6. You can adjust the horizontal and vertical offsets, and these values are remembered across Sibelius sessions.

Updated 22 August 2010. The original plugin is in the zip file renamed Add Fingering To Notes Sib 5, and it will run on Sib 5 or later. Add Fingering To Notes will now only run on Sib 6 or later, and the interface has changed so you see a keypad with numbers.

Updated 23 August 2010. The Sib 5 plugin now allows you to specify the text style used for fingering. Some styles, like Expression, do not work well because their Magnetic Layout settings keep them out of the staff, so choose carefully. The Sib 6 version adds the ability to enter the fingering number 0.

Updated 2 February 2011. Placed separately from the Sib 6 version. This version is unlikely to be updated in the future except for bug fixes.

Bracket Text

Version 01.86.00
Added 08 Apr 2011 (last updated 20 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Puts brackets or parentheses (or any chosen character(s)) around each selected text object, or around the first and last text object matching the filtering conditions. It is especially useful for bold expressions (dynamics) entered with the ctrl or cmnd key, since those involve a font change, or for metronome marks that use noteheads.

Dialog settings are saved across Sibelius sessions.

This is a more general version of the Bracket Expression Text plugin, since it can handle more than Expression text.

Updated 21 November 2011 to handle dynamics correctly in Sib 7.

Updated 9 January 2012 to fix dialog display in Sib 7.

Fill Score Info for Sibelius 4

Version 01.31.00
Added 25 Apr 2011 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

Fill Score Info will take data from edit boxes in a dialog and put them into the File > Score Info fields. It can be run on a single score or on a folder of scores.

It can also take Title, Composer, Lyricist or Copyright text in the score and put those into the corresponding Score Info fields. It can optionally fill only empty Score Info fields, and leave already filled ones alone.

For Sibelius 5 and later use Fill Score Info.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Distribute Score Info for Sibelius 4

Version 01.27.00
Added 17 May 2011 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

Distribute Score Info takes data from the File > Score Info Title, Composer, Lyricist or Copyright fields and replaces the contents of any existing Title, Composer, Lyricist or Copyright text items with this data. If no such text items exist, the plug-in will create an appropriate item in the first bar of the score. It can write out a wildcard for the data, or the data itself.

For Sibelius 5 or later use Distribute Score Info.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Edit Part Instrument Names

Version 02.20.00
Added 25 May 2011 (last updated 22 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This plug-in allows you to edit the full and short instrument names, in the full score and parts, even if the name is empty, and difficult to click on. It creates a list of the instrument names of all staves in a score, and lets you change them.

It lets you change the instruments names of the first part that contains a staff from the full score. Changing a name for that part will cause that name to be updated in all parts containing that staff.

This is similar to Edit Instrument Names, except that you can edit names in the parts at the same time as you edit them in the full score.

Updated 9 August 2011 for Sib 7 font compatibility

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Add Recorder Fingerings

Added 12 Aug 2011

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Based on the Add Brass Fingerings plug-in included with Sibelius, Add Recorder Fingerings adds fingerings for all of the instruments in the recorder family, from sopranino down to bass.

Plug-in written by Floyd Richmond.

Transfer Score Info

Version 01.05.00
Added 30 Nov 2011 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This plugin will load Score Info data from an open score and save it for future use. Once loaded and saved, you can transfer these settings into another score.

Use this to save and transfer your custom Score Info settings into a new score.

The zip file for the plugin also contains a PDF document describing how to use it to create custom Score Info data.

To set Score Info settings for a folder of scores, try the Fill Score Info plugin.

Add Circled Number Symbols To Notes

Version 01.45.00
Added 09 Dec 2011 (last updated 20 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This is a variant of Add Fingering To Notes which adds Symbols rather than text objects.

It can add any symbols you choose but by default is adds the Circled Number symbols used for classical guitar notation.

The text used for this in Add Fingering To Notes does not transfer between Sibelius 6 and 7, but the symbols will.

Note that it is harder to resize symbols than text, so choose any unusual size in the Options when you add symbols.

Updated 1 June 2012. Improved focus setting for Sib 7.1.2, also grace note symbols now correctly placed.

Updated 14 June 2012 to fix multiple keystroke bug in Sib 7. Version 01.51.00.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Add Notehead Names Graphics

Version 02.20.00
Added 10 Jan 2012 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 7

Adds notehead names to selected notes using the new Sibelius 7 ability to create symbols from graphics files. The result is that staff lines and ledger lines will not show through the noteheads as they have in the past.

This is a variant on the shipping Add Note Names to Noteheads, written by Neil Sands.

The plugin will import the attached House Style, Opus Note Names Graphics.lib. If you use Plugins - Install, the House Style will be automatically stored in the user House Style Folder; if installing manually, please copy it there./p>

This plugin will only work in Sibelius 7 and later, and scores that use graphics-based symbols will only work in Sibelius 7 or later.

This plugin will not convert existing scores that used the named noteheads from Add Note Names to Noteheads. You can use the downloadable plugin Remove Named Noteheads to create a score that can use this plugin.

If you are running Sibelius 7.1.2 or later, you will get the same results by using the shipping Add Note Names To Noteheads Plugin (Notations - Noteheads - Add Note Names).

Updated 21 May 2012 adding option (and additional house style) to allow noteheads that do not show accidentals. This feature is not available in the shipping plugin. Note that you cannot mix and match the styles in a single score.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich / Neil Sands.

Multicopy Dynamic

Version 01.25.00
Added 02 Feb 2012 (last updated 23 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Adds dynamics text (such as mf) that is typed in or chosen from a list to the first bar of each visible staff in a passage (box) selection, or to the position of each selected object in a multiple selection.

In a passage selection, the text will avoid staves hidden by Hide Empty Staves, Focus On Staves, or a hidden instrument change. By default, the text will be added to the position of the first note in each selected staff in a passage selection.

You can choose the voice of the text; it defaults to ''all voices''.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Multicopy Object

Version 01.30.00
Added 15 Feb 2012 (last updated 23 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Pastes a single object previously copied to the clipboard to multiple destinations. The single object can be anything except a note, rest, tuplet, or system object (such as a special barline or Title text).

When the plugin is run:

If there is a passage selection, the object will be added in each non-hidden staff at the start of the selection.

If there is a multiple selection, the text is added to the position of each selected object (if the selection contains any system objects, the object will paste to the same bar and position on the first staff).

Compared to regular multicopy, the copied object will not be pasted to hidden staves, there is no problem with pasting when the destination selection intersects a tuplet, and you can paste to multiple targets when the destination selection is a multiple selection.

There is no ability to paste to the first note in a staff, but you could run the Filter First Notes plugin before running this one to get the same effect.

Updated 25 Feb 2012 to select all objects pasted by the plugin so they can all be adjusted at once.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Solfege

Version 01.09.30
Added 12 Apr 2012 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This plugin adds syllables to selected notes, similar to what Add Note Names does. The syllables come from lists of Solfege systems that provide syllables to be used for the lowered, natural, and raised forms of the seven scale positions of a major scale.

The plugin provides a ''movable-do'' mechanism, where you specify the pitch for degree 1 of the scale. By default it assigns ''1'' to the root of the (major) scale used at the start of the selection, based on the key signature.

This can use useful for ear training, and probably a bunch of other things.

You can edit the Solfege systems, and create new ones, and these are retained across Sibelius sessions.

It does not provide octave designations or rhythmic values (such as, for example, the Add Tonic Sol Fa does). It does adjust itself when key signatures change.

Updated 13 April 2012 to save changed solfege systems even if you cancel from the main dialog. Also fixed a typo!

Updated 14 April 2012 to allow text style to be typed in as well as being chosen from a list.

Updated 19 April 2012. Corrected problems with import/export, added ability to delete a system, added a PDF file explaining how to use the plugin. Warning: this version will erase any settings made in earlier versions, so write them down before upgrading.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Copy Wildcards

Version 01.05.70
Added 11 Sep 2012 (last updated 11 Sep 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Displays a list of wildcard text strings. You can copy a wildcard from the plugin window and then paste it into a Text item in a score.

You can also have the plugin write the list of wildcards to the plugin Trace window, and you can copy and paste from there without needing to run the plugin again.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Store Data For Wildcard

Version 01.06.00
Added 13 Sep 2012 (last updated 13 Sep 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This is an extension of the Get Page Count plugin, adding the ability to use the score's highest Version number.

It stores the number of pages in a score (at the time the plug-in is run) or the highest Version number of the score into a field of File > Score Info.

This makes the number available for use in text fields (such as \"Page x of y\"). If the $MOREINFO wildcard is used. (The full text would be \"Page $PAGENUM of $MOREINFO\").

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Lyrics To Expression Text

Version 01.05.00
Added 12 Oct 2012 (last updated )

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Converts all selected lyrics to staff text in Expression style, maintaining any horizontal or vertical offsets of the the original lyrics. It does not combine lyric syllables into words.

The can be used in the likely unusual case where someone entered Expression text, such as dynamics, as Lyric objects, whcih cannot otherwise be easily converted to staff Text objects.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Decrease and Increase Dynamics

Version 1.2
Added 18 Oct 2012 (last updated 23 May 2013)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

These decrease or increase dynamic levels within a selection. They are designed for speed and do not use dialogs. I suggest assigning to keyboard shortcuts such as Alt++/Alt+- on the numeric keyboard.

1.1 Update: General bug fixes and improvements

1.2 Update: Now works with any type of selection (individual dynamics, passage selection and system selection)

Plug-in written by Kenneth Gaw.

Multiply Dynamics

Version 1.2
Added 18 Oct 2012 (last updated 10 Jun 2013)

For use with Sibelius 7

This copies dynamics from one to all staves within a selection and avoids placing them on rests or empty bars. It is designed for speed and does not feature a dialog. I suggest assigning to a keyboard shortcut such as Alt+* on the numeric keyboard.

Update: Will now place a text dynamic in the middle of a long note if required

UPDATE: typo fixed in error message

Plug-in written by Kenneth Gaw.

Left Align First Lyric In System

Version 01.05.00
Added 24 Oct 2012 (last updated 24 Oct 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Left-aligns the first word or syllable in a lyric line, leaving the alignment of other syllables unchanged. This is to support a common technique in hymnals.

The plugin accomplishes this by forcing the first lyric syllable in a system for each text style in that bar to act as though it covers at least 2 notes. This forces left alignment.

An unfortunate side effect is that syllables that generate hyphens will not show their hyphens. To get around this, the plugin appends 2 non breaking spaces and a hyphen to the text of syllables that would normally show hyphens.

Since this could could cause unwanted layout changes, this zip file also includes the plugin Adjust Fake Lyric Hyphen, which will find adjusted syllables and let you choose the number of non breaking spaces to use for each such syllable.
