Writing multiple staves at once ? SATB (for string quartet)
Posted by Thaarup - 18 Jan 11:03AM
Dear Sibelius Users

I am using a piano keyboard via MIDI

I can type a C-Minor Chord on the piano

It contains the following notes C Eb G C

Using fingers 1 2 3 5 (thumb being the first finger)

So opening a Sibelius String Quartet Score writing a simple arrangement, I believe, there should be, a way of assigning 4 notes (C Eb G C) going directly onto each of the 4 staves

1. Violin (one)
2. Violin (two)
3. Viola
4. Violoncello

So my question is, how do I do this, in Sibelius ?

Please tell me, there is a way to do this! <3

I haven't used it myself but I believe the Arrange feature is what you're looking for, Thaarup -it is just a 2-step process rather than the one you are asking for.
As far as I can see, you use either a single staff, or the Grand stave, play the chord in and then use the Arrange feature to 'Explode' the notes onto seperate staves.

Search for 'Arrange' in the Reference manual for details.

Play the quadad into any one of the quartet parts. Make a passage selection for all 4 parts. Hit [ctrl]c. Hit [shft][ctrl]v. Hit OK. Done. That's Copy, Special Paste, OK.
