140: Updating existing scores to use new features in newer versions of Sibelius

Many new features of new versions of Sibelius are not automatically available in scores created in earlier versions of Sibelius, because they are stored in the score itself. These include:

  • Rit/accel. lines
  • Guitar tab notations
  • New text styles (e.g. Lyrics above, Plain text)
  • Symbols
  • Playback dictionary items

To make these features accessible in your existing scores, simply import a default house style: choose House Style > Import House Style, and import one of the styles in the House Styles folder inside the Sibelius program folder.
