Compare Staves

Added 16 Jan 2006 (last updated 30 Mar 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This is an updated version of the Compare Staves plug-in that ships with Sibelius 4 and 4.1.

This update fixes a problem where, although it was possible to specify in the plug-in\'s dialog that the highlight for differences should go onto one staff or on both staves, the highlight was incorrectly always applied to both staves.

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