264: Keyboard shortcuts - assigning shortcuts to lines
The File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts dialog contains a large number of unassigned shortcuts for lines, called e.g. Line 23. You can assign these shortcuts to unused combinations of keys to access lines from the Create > Line dialog quickly.
In Sibelius 3, use these plug-ins to quickly assign a shortcut to a particular line.
If you define any new lines, they will be numbered Line 110 onwards; numbers 1-109 refer to the following standard lines available in scores created in Sibelius 2:
