Pedal Lines

Version 01.06.00
Added 06 Oct 2007 (last updated 23 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Reads MIDI pedal control messages and converts them to pedal lines. You must make a passage selection. It will convert pairs of ~C64 (sustain pedal), ~C66 (sostenuto pedal) or ~C67 (soft pedal) messages, and will optionally delete the messages. You can choose pedal line styles for different controllers.

Updated 2 October 2011 to fix error message that said "false" instead of "0".

Updated 18 October 2011 to ignore (with warnings) unmatched OFF messages and to create short lines for any unmatched ON messages. This lets the plugin do more with scores where the MIDI message are not properly matched, but if you see messages, check the output VERY carefully, because some pedal lines will surely be the wrong position or the wrong length. I recommend not having the plugin delete MIDI messages if you see warnings, so you can do better manual adjustments.

Remove Trill Wiggly Lines

Added 14 Apr 2009 (last updated 18 Oct 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This plug-in removes the wiggly lines from selected trills in a score. If there is no initial selection, the user is given a choice of changing every trill or cancelling the operation.

Behind the scenes, the plug-in shortens the length of a trill\'s wiggly line to zero. As such, trills are maintained as \"line\" type elements and keep their ability to sound a trill during score playback.

Replace Trill Symbols with Trill Lines

Added 18 Apr 2009 (last updated 18 Oct 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

This plug-in replaces trill symbols that don’t play back with trill lines that do playback. It handles the standard trill symbol “tr” as well as the bracketed trill symbol “(tr)”, which are replaced with a trill line without the wiggly line. If there is no initial selection, the user is given a choice of replacing every trill symbol or canceling the operation.

This plug-in is useful if you receive a score from another copyist that used trill symbols or for scores imported into Sibelius from some other programs.
