Transpose Copies

Added 06 Mar 2011 (last updated 06 Mar 2011)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

The Transpose Copies plug-in will make transposed copies of the bars in a selected passage any specified interval Up or Down. The number of times this transposition occurs can be selected. The copies can be placed either at the end of the score or amidst the score immediately to the right of the original selected pattern.

The plug-in gives users the opportunity to choose to which key signature will be transposed regarding the following keys: B or Db, F# or Gb, C# or Db. If the option 'Correction for octaves' is checked, the copies will, when necessary, be transposed up or down an octave to avoid too many ledger lines.

Key signature changes (except the one-staff-only ones) halfway the pattern will be processed like the key signatures at the beginning of the pattern.

'System break after pattern(s)' gives the user the opportunity, if the original (short) pattern is limited to one system, to combine a couple of copied patterns in one system.

Settings in the dialog survive Sibelius sessions.

Copy Double and Copy Halve Note Values

Version 02.20.00
Added 10 Apr 2011 (last updated 09 Aug 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Copy Double Note Values and Copy Halve Note Values are variants of the shipping plugins Double Note Values and Halve Note Values. These plugins double or halve the durations of the selected notes, then put their results into the clipboard, rather than into a separate score. You can then paste the results into any score with the normal Paste command.

There are several things to note:

1. There will be no dialog. You can tell when it is finished when the progress bar and Stop button go away. Do not try to paste until that happens.

2. Only notes will be copied (no text or other bar objects). No system objects will be copied, even if you start with a system (double box) selection, and bars will never be inserted - notes will always flow into the destination bars.

3. The plugin temporarily adds bars to the score you copy *from*, and so will mark that score as having been edited (it dirties the score). So if you close that score it will ask you to save changes. If you have made no other edits, it is safe to either save changes or not.

Updated 9 August 2012 to clean up some unused code. No functionality change.

Transform Scale for Sibelius 7 (English)

Version 04.02.00
Added 08 Oct 2012 (last updated 08 Oct 2012)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This update fixes a problem whereby Transform Scale does not work correctly in languages other than English. Note that the zip file contains 2 plugins (Pitch Mapping as well as Transform Scale), and both need to be installed.

These fixes are really only required for the German version of Sibelius, and can be used in Sibelius 6 and 7.
