September 2022 Release Now Available! Staff Names and Select Matching Object Posted by Justin at Sibelius - 29 Sep 04:55PM (edited 29 Sep 05:19PM) Hide picture Hi All, We're delighted to announce the immediate availability of our September release of Sibelius! This started out as a bug-fix release for the team to work on over the summer, and we managed to complete a great feature too. In this release, you'll find: * Introducing Staff names! You can now add labels to individual staves in your score. Simply double tap to the left of the staff to add the text. Show where to enter staff names by turning on Hidden Objects * Select next matching object with new commands to help you navigate the score - great for navigating through chord symbols, rehearsal mark, and of course it ties nicely into our screen reader support * Input Maps have been fixed up to allow you to control the mixer once more and, in some cases, navigate the score using your MIDI keyboard * Improvements to Dynamic Guitar Staves, Sibelius Cloud Sharing, Note spacing/Auto-Optimize, Text, Command Search, Dynamic Parts, Video feature, Navigation, Key signatures and barlines, Playback Dictionary * Plus, we've included Lili Boulanger’s Vieille prière bouddhique as a new example score. It’s great to show off how flexible and precise Sibelius can be when laying out dense and complex large format scores. * A plethora of stability improvements, along with a new reliable crash reporting system across Windows, Mac and iOS. If Sibelius crashes, you’ll be able to opt into sending the crash report to us, where we’ll collect and analyse the crashes as they happen. This will enable us to ensure the future of Sibelius is even better and more stable than it is today. This update spans across all tiers of Sibelius on all our supported platforms and is available to those with a current subscription or update and support plan. If you're on an older version, you can upgrade and get current, here: https://www.avid.com/sibelius/upgrades-and-renewals For all the details, please head over to the blog, that dives into staff names and all these other improvements, which we hope you enjoy. https://www.avid.com/resource-center/whats-new-in-sibelius-september-2022 Justin and the Sibelius Team -- Justin Tokke, Senior Product Designer at Sibelius justin.tokke@avid.com Contact the Sibelius support team: https://www.avid.com/learn-and-support/contact-audio-and-music-support KB and other resources: https://www.avid.com/sibelius/learn-and-support Back to top | All threads

Please clarify "preset for Noteperformer doesn't work." What is a "preset"? What actually happens instead when you try? For assistance with playback problems, please attach a Sibelius .sib score file which demonstrates the problem. Problems with volume levels changing on one channel can be caused by a faulty attached MIDI controller keyboard. Please completely disconnect any such keyboard, close Sibelius and re-launch Sibelius, and try again. -- Sibelius 2022.7/7.5.1/7.1.3/6.2/5.2.5, PhotoScore Ult 2020.1, Windows 10 64-bit 16GB.

Re: September 2022 Release Now Available! Staff Names and Select Matching Object Posted by Juha Lehmus - 30 Sep 09:39AM Hide picture preset is plugin "reset mixer for NotePerformer". Itried other kind of scores and the problem seems to be the very first instrunent in yhe score. For me it happens with any score. Here is a large oechestra and the first instrument is not in the rigjt volume. If I try manually adjust the volume it goes itself to this position you see here. I have had the same usb-keyboard for many years and this issue game with this last update. I'll try your trick... There is no point to attach a sib file because this happens with any file -even with solo instrument! Attachment mixer large orchestra.png (703K) Back to top | All threads

This has been re-enabled in version 2022.9, after having not worked since version 6.2.

Re: September 2022 Release Now Available! Staff Names and Select Matching Object Posted by Juha Lehmus - 30 Sep 03:09PM Hide picture Tkanks for advice, but cannot finf anything useful. I wonder why only one instrument at the time doesn't "work". I find it quite anfair to change it this way. There should be a checbox for previous system. I'm quite sure I'm not the onlyone having problems with this? How can I downgrade to 2022.7 version? Back to top | All threads

Re: September 2022 Release Now Available! Staff Names and Select Matching Object Posted by Matthew Hindson - 03 Oct 12:13AM Hide picture Is there more info in the reference guide on the new Staff Names function. When I search there are only 2 places in there that seem to use that term (according to the search function in Preview). When I tried to change the staff name in an existing score by double-clicking on the new blue box, anything I wrote was additional to what was already there. I needed to remove the existing staff name - but this was then removed from the part. So obviously I need to RTFM, somehow. Thanks Matthew -- Back to top | All threads
