Add Note Names And Pitch

Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 17 Mar 2008)

For use with Sibelius 3.x

This plug-in is based on the Add Note Names plug-in included with Sibelius 3. It has a number of additional options, namely:

  • Ability to add octave (e.g. C4) and /or MIDI pitch (C4(72)) to a note name
  • New "font" option "Alternate Up-Down" that puts alternate note names above or below the staff. This is helpful for the octave/MIDI pitch options, which tend to overlap pretty quickly.

For Sibelius 5, use the shipping Add Note Names plugin.

German Chord Names

Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 11 Aug 2008)

For use with Sibelius 2.x, Sibelius 3.x, Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1 and Sibelius 5

This plug-in converts chord symbols text in your score between the German (B = B flat, H = B) and standard (Bb = B flat, B = B) conventions for chord symbols. This is useful when e.g. wanting to transpose German chord symbols (convert them to standard chord symbols, transpose, then convert them back to German chord symbols).

Updated August 9, 2008 to handle alternate flat symbol in Sib 5.

Find Empty Text Strings

Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 3.x and Sibelius 4

This plug-in finds empty text strings and adds text to them so they can be found and deleted. (The plug-in is unable to delete them itself). It will optionally color the found text.

Once the plug-in runs, you can use Find or filter the new text (which should be unique), and then delete the selected text.

It will work on a selection, but is probably most useful run on an entire score - either have no selection, or select the entire score with Edit > Select > Select All.

For Sibelius 5, use the Delete Empty Text Strings plugin.

This plugin will run in Sibelius 6, but should rarely be needed.

Add or Replace System Text

Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 3.x, Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1, Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

This plug-in can write up to three items of system text (e.g. Title, Copyright, Composer, etc.) to all the scores in a folder. It is able to replace any existing text if required.

Updated May 22, 2008 to work with user-defined styles in Sibelius 4 and 5.

Updated 2 April 2009 for internal code cleanup

Reverse Text

Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 3.x, Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1, Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Reverse Text reverses the order of text in each selected Text, Lyric, or System Text object. It will not reverse the orderof a sequence of objects, but just the text within single objects. If you want objects in the system staff (like Title Text) reversed, create a system (double blue box) selection.

One use for this might be to reverse Hebrew or Arabic text.

This plug-in does not handle multi-line text well; it is best to split such items into separate text objects for each line. (Multi-line items will reverse, but the line separator will be lost).

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

French Chord Names

Added 01 Aug 2005

For use with Sibelius 2.x and Sibelius 3.x

This plug-in converts chord symbols text in your score between the French (sol-fa) and standard (Bb = B flat, B = B) conventions for chord symbols. This is useful when e.g. wanting to transpose German chord symbols (convert them to standard chord symbols, transpose, then convert them back to French chord symbols).

Plug-in written by Tim Watson.

Multirest Text

Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 3.x, Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1, Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Multirest Text builds a text string out of 2 user-typed pieces of text and the optional multirest number, so you can add text like \\\\\\\"Play 3 times\\\\\\\" automatically to a multirest.

There are a number of centering options possible (see the Help screen for details), but it generally works best with text styles that are defined as centered. There are 2 \\\\\\\"built-in\\\\\\\" styles (Lyrics and Lyrics(chorus)), and you can also type in the name of any text style you wish.

Some sample text styles are defined in the included MultirestTextStyle.lib house style. Import the text styles from this house style, and two new entries will appear in the built in style list (Multirest center (Times) and Multirest center (Inkpen). You can also define your own styles, named Multirest center3 through Multirest center6, and these will also show up in the list. They are assumed by the plugin to be centered in both directions.

You can use uncentered styles and make adjustments by clicking on the Advanced button and using the fields in that dialog.

Updated 19 April 2009 to fix failure to handle custom text styles in Sib 5.

Smarten Quotes

Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 17 Mar 2008)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This update fixes the following issues:

  • The plug-in can now handle double quote marks correctly on Mac OS X.
  • The plug-in now correctly handles user-created lyrics text styles.

For Sibelius 5, use the shipping version of this plugin.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Add Verse Numbers

Added 20 Aug 2005 (last updated 30 Mar 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4

This plug-in fixes a problem with the version of Add Verse Numbers shipped with Sibelius 4, and is recommended for all Sibelius 4 users.

For Sibelius 5, use the shipping version of this plugin.

Plug-in written by Sibelius Software Ltd..

Tag Bar Number

Added 20 Aug 2005 (last updated 05 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4

This plug-in finds all the bars in a score that have the same displayed bar number (due to bar number changes), and makes a list of their \"internal\" or \"consecutive\" bar numbers (the numbers that would show if there were no bar number changes).

It can also place the same piece of text in all the matching bars, and you can then use Find to go to those bar numbers (since Go To Bar only goes to the first bar with a displayed number).

So, for example , if \"internal\" bars 1 and 5 both display bar number 1, the list would show 1 and 5, and you could place the text \"~Tagged bar\" at the start of bars 1 and 5, and use Find to get you to those bars. Later, you can filter \"~Tagged bar\" and delete the selected tags.

This can be especially useful in large scores.

For Sibelius 5, this is no longer needed, as Go To will navigate to multiple bars with the same number.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Tag Rehearsal Mark

Added 20 Aug 2005 (last updated 30 Mar 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4

This plug-in adds a piece of Technique text at the same location as any Rehearsal Marks in the score. Note that it will not tag text objects made of Rehearsal Mark text, but only Rehearsal Mark objects.

The purpose of the tag is to provide a label that can be \'gone to\' using the Find command.

The tag consists of the Rehearsal Mark label and an optional prefix. So if you had marks A, B, and C, in bars 2, 3, and 4, and the prefix was ~RM, bar 2 would get the text ~RMA, bar 3 ~RMB, and bar 4 ~RMC. Use Find on ~RM to go to those bars.

Run the plug-in again to update changed rehearsal marks, but if extensive changes have been made, it might be best to remove existing tags before re-running.

You can use the plug-in to remove (untag) the Rehearsal Marks later. It cannot actually delete the text tags, but it can either set them blank, or to a single text of your choosing. The latter is suggested, because you can set them to the same text (such as ~DeleteMe), and filter that text and delete them all at once.

For Sibelius 5, use the downloadable Go To plugin or Find Rehearsal Mark plugin instead.

Add Bar Number Changes For Rehearsal Marks

Added 20 Aug 2005 (last updated 03 Apr 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4.1

This plug-in adds a bar number change at the same location as any rehearsal marks in the score. Note that it will not add changes in bars containing text objects made of Rehearsal Mark text, but only Rehearsal Mark objects.

The purpose of the tag is to help solve the problem of bar numbers overlapping rehearsal marks. Since normal bar numbers cannot be hidden, but bar number changes can be hidden, this is a first step towards hiding the bar numbers, and saves having to add the bar number changes manually.

In Sibelius 4, a plug-in cannot hide the bar number changes, so you will have to do it separately. If you know the bar numbers involved, you can go there with Go To Bar Number. The plug-in will write the affected bar numbers to the trace window to make the Rehearsal Marks easier to find.

If you are running Sibelius 4.1, however, the plug-in can hide the bar number changes for you.

Do not run this until the bar numbers are stable, since bar number change objects will not update if you add or delete bars.

Note that the plug-in will put bar number changes wherever there is a Rehearsal Mark, whether the bar number had been visible or not.

Changes in version 1.25: added the ability to choose whether bar numbers are hidden in both the score and parts, just the score, or just the parts.

In Sibelius 5, bar numbers can be hidden, so this plugin is no longer needed.

Updated 2 April 2009 for internal code cleanup

Number Multirest Bars

Added 22 Aug 2005 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1, Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

This plug-in adds text containing numbers for the range of bars contained in multirests. You can change the location of the text by changing its text style. You can specify text to precede or follow the bar numbers and a character to separate them.

For example, if bars 2 through 5 are a multirest, and you choose the defaults, you will see the text (2 - 5) below the staff at bar 2.

New in v2.05:

  • Custom text styles work in Sibelius 4, and there is a new option to center the text if a centered text style is used.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Renumber Pages

Added 14 Sep 2005 (last updated 06 Mar 2006)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This plug-in allows you to create customized page numbers and running header lines in your score. Features include:

  • Divide your document into sections whose pages are numbered independently, e.g. front matter numbered with lowercase Roman page numbers (i, ii, iii, ...) and main matter numbered with Arabic page numbers (1, 2, 3, ...)
  • Define a running header line which displays the title of the song or movement at the top of the page (automatically extracted from title text objects)
  • Automatic creation of a table of contents (experimental)
  • Support for title pages which are counted but do not show a page number or header line
  • Also support for more complex page number schemes, e.g. chapter-wise (I-1, I-2, I-3, ..., II-1, II-2, II-3, ..., III-1, III-2, III-3, ...)

The .zip file contains the plug-in and a score which contains further explanations and is properly setup to demonstrate the usage. It is recommended to read the instructions in the example score and run the plug-in there first, before trying on your own score.

Updated to version 1.1 (6 March 2006), adding support for "page total" template to generate "XX of YY" numbering.

Plug-in written by Hans-Christoph Wirth.

Edit Instrument Names

Added 02 Dec 2005 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

This plug-in allows you to edit the full and short instrument names, even if the name is empty, and difficult to click on. It creates a list of the instrument names (both the current visible name and the name when the instrument was created) of all staves in a score, and lets you change them.

It attempts to maintain font changes in the instrument name (such as the Opus Text change to b in Clarinet in Bb). You should check such names carefully, however.

Rewritten in February 2009 to allow up to 30 instruments to be updated one one dialog screen, and have multiple screens for more instruments.

Updated 23 February 2009 to improve tabbing order when there is more than 1 column of instruments.

Description edited - no longer works in v4

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Tag Bar Number Changes

Added 28 Dec 2005 (last updated 30 Mar 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This plug-in adds a piece of Technique text at the same location as any Bar Number Changes in the score.

The purpose of the tag is to provide a label that can be \'gone to\' using the Find command.

The tag consists of the displayed bar number and an optional prefix. So if you had changes to bars 20, 100, and 1, in bars 2, 3, and 4, and the prefix was ~BNC, bar 2 would get the text ~BNC20, bar 3 ~BNC100, and bar 4 ~BNC1. Use Find on ~BNC to go to those bars.

Run the plug-in again to update changed bar number changes, but if extensive changes have been made, it might be best to remove existing tags before re-running.

You can use the plug-in to remove (untag) the Bar Number Changes later. It cannot actually delete the text tags, but it can either set them blank, or to a single text of your choosing. The latter is suggested, because you can set them to the same text (such as ~DeleteMe), and filter that text and delete them all at once.

In Sibelius 5, use the downloadable Go To plugin instead (use the bar number change option.

Chord Symbol No Superscript

Added 12 Jan 2006 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 3.x, Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1, Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Changes the numeric characters, flat, or sharp symbols in chord symbols to a font of your choice in which the characters are not superscripted. The most likely replacement font choices are Opus PlainChords or Inkpen2 Text, but you can type in any font you like. There is no way for the plug-in to validate the existence of the font, so please type carefully!

Only single numbers will be changed, not stacked digits. Do not use the \\\'flat\\\' option if you are using lower case \\\'b\\\' characters that are not flat symbols, as all lower case \\\'b\\\'s will be changed.

By default, all numbers and accidentals will have the font applied. If you need more control over which characters change, use Advanced Options, which allows you to have, for example, only numbers or accidentals not in extensions un-subscripted. So as an example, you could have Abmaj7b5, and in Opus Chords font all the numbers and accidentals are superscripted. By applying various options, the b following the A can be normal, but the b following the 7 can be subscripted; the 7 can be un-subscripted, while the 5 can be subscripted.

The resulting text objects can have multiple fonts; if you add new chords, they changes will not be applied, but the plug-in can be re-run as needed.

Since any font can be typed in, you can choose different fonts with the proper characteristics to add superscripts rather than removing them, and other options as well.

While this does work in Sibelius 5, it should rarely be needed. Its function is taken by the Chords(superscript root accidental) Word menu in the Chord Symbol text style.

Add Slurs to Melismas

Added 02 Feb 2006

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This is a minor update to Add Slurs to Melismas that fixes problems with the plug-in shipped with Sibelius 4 and 4.1.

Plug-in written by Sibelius Software Ltd..

Toggle Text

Added 27 Feb 2006 (last updated 28 Feb 2006)

For use with Sibelius 4.1

This plug-in hides all text objects of a specified style with two keystrokes, and restores them on next invocation of the plugin.

This is useful for adding notes to your score which should not appear in the final output: Just make sure before that you use one text style exclusively for your notes.

Plug-in written by Hans-Christoph Wirth.

Copy Text For Delete Bar

Added 11 Sep 2006 (last updated 20 Apr 2008)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

Copy Text for Delete Bar copies any system text (such as Title, Composer, or Instrument name at top left) from one bar to another.

Typically you will copy from bar 1 to bar 2 when you want to delete bar 1 without losing the system text. The plug-in cannot delete the original text, but it can optionally hide it. It will disappear when the bar is deleted anyway. If a bar number is duplicated in the score (because of bar number changes), you will need to make a selection that excludes the duplicate of any bars you want to process.

Updated 24 January 2007: The plug-in now restores the hidden state of copied text, and makes an attempt at restoring the multiple fonts in a metronome mark. It also documents the fact that multi-line text will become single lines.

For Sibelius 5, use Move System Objects For Delete Bar

Distribute Score Info

Added 18 Sep 2006 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1, Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Distribute Score Info takes data from the File > Score Info Title, Composer, Lyricist or Copyright fields and replaces the contents of any existing Title, Composer, Lyricist or Copyright text items with this data. If no such text items exist, the plug-in will create an appropriate item in the first bar of the score. It can write out a wildcard for the data, or the data itself.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Fill Score Info

Added 18 Sep 2006 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1, Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Fill Score Info will take data from edit boxes in a dialog and put them into the File > Score Info fields. It can be run on a single score or on a folder of scores.

It can also take Title, Composer, Lyricist or Copyright text in the score and put those into the corresponding Score Info fields. It can optionally fill only empty Score Info fields, and leave already filled ones alone.

If can be very useful for scores to be published on the web via Scorch (which require Score Info data, in order for the web page templates to look correct), and also as a starting point for database programs that can look at the Score Info fields, such as the Create Score Database plug-in.

Change Case

Added 17 Oct 2006 (last updated 17 Mar 2008)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This plug-in changes the case of text in a score. It will only convert the letters A..Z or a..z; it cannot handle accented characters. It can change text to UPPER CASE, lower case, tOGGLE cASE or Word Initial Case. It can change various types of text objects, including system text, lyrics, instrument names and score info data. It can be run on a single score or on a folder of scores.

Note that text that is in multiple lines will be converted to a single line, and any internal formatting (fonts or bold/italic, etc.) will be lost.

For Sibelius 5, use Change Case for Sibelius 5.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Extract PhotoScore Lyrics

Added 22 Nov 2006 (last updated 23 Nov 2006)

For use with Sibelius 3.x, Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This plug-in manipulates lyrics in scores that have been imported from PhotoScore Professional.

Plug-in written by Peter Hayter.

Enumerate Instruments

Added 13 Feb 2007 (last updated 26 Feb 2007)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This plug-in will enumerate consecutive, similar instrument names in a score, useful to have e.g. Flute 1, Flute 2, Flute 3, Oboe 1, Oboe 2, etc. as instrument names in the score.

The plug-in will handle instruments with multiple staves (e.g. Piano, Harp) correctly and running the plug-in again after changing the instrumentation will update the ordinal numbers. The plug-in won't be able to identify where multiple players would read from a single staff (e.g. Horn 13, 24); the user should manually put this in.

Plug-in written by Andrew Moschou.

Instrument List

Added 05 May 2007 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1, Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

This plug-in adds a list of the instruments at the start of the selected staves as a text item at the start of the score.

You can choose which elements will appear in the list, and the order in which they will appear.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Fix PhotoScore Lyrics

Added 17 May 2007 (last updated 24 Jul 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1 and Sibelius 5

This plug-in replaces lyrics read by Photoscore (which when sung over many notes usually lack of the appropriate hyphen line or end of word line) with the correct Sibelius objects.

Simply make a passage selection and run the plug-in. Use Layout > Reset Position afterwards if you find hyphens colliding with adjacent syllables.

Plug-in written by Hans-Christoph Wirth.

Find and Replace Text

Added 22 Jun 2007 (last updated 29 Mar 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

This is an update to the version of Find and Replace Text included with Sibelius 4, and fixes a problem whereby the plug-in will not correctly replace lyrics or system text unless the selection also contains a normal item of text.

Thanks to Bob Zawalich for this fix.

For Sibelius 5, use the shipping version of this plugin or (better) the downloadable Find and Replace Text for Sibelius 5

Plug-in written by Stefan Behrisch.

Delete Empty Text Strings

Added 05 Oct 2007 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Deletes truly empty text strings, which were probably put into a score by a plug-in or file converter. These are usually not a problem, but if they are, this will clean them up.

Updated Jan 1, 2009 to add staff info to trace.

Updated Jan 11, 2009 to fix bug that deleted *all* text if the all-spaces checkbox was unchecked.

Updated 12 Feb 2009 to restructure some code.

Updated 16 May 2009 to allow empty and spaces only strings to be deleted separately, and also added a trace-only option

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Delete Duplicate Text Lines Symbols

Added 06 Oct 2007 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Deletes copies of text objects, lines, or symbols that have the same properties and location as another object of the same type.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Move System Objects For Delete Bar

Added 06 Oct 2007 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

This is an update of Copy Text For Delete Bar. Copies any system objects (such as Title, Composer, or Instrument name at top left, time signatures, key signatures, rehearsal marks) from one bar to another.

Typically you will copy from bar 1 to bar 2 when you want to delete bar 1 without losing the system objects. If a bar number is duplicated in the score (because of bar number changes), you will need to make a selection that excludes the duplicate of any bars you want to process.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Change Case for Sibelius 5

Added 06 Oct 2007 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Changes the case of text in a score. It will only convert the letters A..Z or a..z; it cannot handle accented characters. It can change text to UPPER CASE, lower case, tOGGLE cASE or Word Initial Case. It can change various types of text objects, including system text, lyrics, instrument names and score info data. It can be run on a single score or on a folder of scores.

Unlike earlier versions, multiple line text will be retained as will any internal formatting (fonts or bold/italic, etc.).

Updated March 26, 2008 to allow changing the case of non-\\\\\\\"English\\\\\\\" characters, thanks to the MakeChangecase plugin (included in the zip file) which was generously contributed by Andrew Moschou. These include accented, Greek, and Cyrillic characters.

Please note: do not use this plugin on bold Expression text or chord symbols, or any other text that uses a font that does not have matching upper and lower case letters in the traditional locations.

Updated February 7, 2009 to change the Instrument Names code to only use special flat accidentals for lower case b if it followe A, B, D, or E.

Updated April 20, 2009 to put the MakeChangeCase plugin back in the zip file

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich and Andrew Moschou.

Restore Tempo

Added 06 Oct 2007 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Restores the tempo at the start of the selection to the end of the selection. It can be used for “a tempo”.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Bracket Expression Text

Added 15 Nov 2007 (last updated 08 Nov 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Puts brackets or parentheses (or any chosen character(s)) around selected expression text. It is especially useful for bold expressions entered with the ctrl or cmnd key, since those involve a font change.

Updated 7 November 2009 to add spacing around 'f' characters to avoid collisions with the brackets. Sib 6.1 is recommended, though it will work in Sib 5.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Add Cresc Dim Lines

Added 15 Nov 2007 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1, Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Adds crescendo and/or diminuendo lines and optional expression text to a selection.

You can include Expression Text if desired; if the edit boxes are blank, only the line(s) will appear. Type or select an appropriate font if you want bold expression text.

To increase the amount of space surrounding the characters, increase the Rhythmic space per character (quarter note = 256 units). This may expand the output past the selection. It cannot be expanded past the end of the score.

You may still need to adjust horizontal spacing using arrow keys.

This will run in Sib 4, but some features are missing and text and lines will not align as well as in Sib 5

Updated April 4, 2008 (version 1.20) to allow choice of line type at each position, so you can reverse the dynamics

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Remove Lyric Extension Lines

Added 14 Dec 2007 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1, Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Changes all final syllables or single word lyrics to apply to 1 note, thus removing the extension lines. May be useful if note values have changed.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Reposition Dynamics

Added 14 Apr 2008 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Processes Expression text and hairpins for \"vocal\" staves, which expect dynamics to go above, rather than below the staff. It will also move dynamics on non-vocal staves to the bottom of the staff.

If it finds dynamics in the wrong location relative to the center staff line, it will move them to the corresponding location on the opposite side of the center staff line.

This is useful for scores with a mix of vocal and non vocal staves.

It does not change the text or line style, but moves the objects as you would by dragging them by hand; \"Reset Position\" will restore them to their original position. It will not change the position of objects that are already on the correct side of the center line.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Trombone Slide Positions

Added 21 Apr 2008

For use with Sibelius 3.x, Sibelius 4, Sibelius 4.1 and Sibelius 5

Adds possible slide positions for selected Bb/F trombone notes in the range from F an octave below the bass stave to the Bb an octave above it.

You can specify which voices should be marked.

Plug-in written by Ian Cugley.

Create Add Text Plugin

Added 21 Nov 2008 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Lets you create and install a new plug-in that, when run, will insert a piece of text into the score. The properties of the text are taken from text (staff text, system text, or lyrics) that is selected when Create Add Text Plugin is run. If you assign a shortcut to the new plug-in, you will have, in effect, a way to assign a shortcut to an individual piece of formatted text.

The generated plugin will be put by default in the \\\"Add Text\\\" subfolder of your user Plug-ins folder. The name will include the text style and some of the text.

In order to assign shortcuts to the newly-created plug-ins, you must first close and restart Sibelius, so the new plug-ins will be loaded.

Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich.

Add Pitch Class to Notes

Added 13 Dec 2008 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Adds pitch class numbers for selected notes, including quartertones.

You can specify which pitch to use for pitch class 0, and also mark classes 10 and 11 so they will not be confused with 1 and 0.

All pitch classes with be assigned to the voice \\\'all voices\\\'. If you use Lyrics style, each voice will be assigned to a different lyrics verse (voice 1 = Lyrics line 1, etc.), so the voices will be at different heights and may be filtered for, using the text style.

Find and Replace Text for Sibelius 5

Added 17 Mar 2009 (last updated 21 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5

This is an update of the plugin that ships with Sibelius version 5.25. The update fixes a problem encountered with processing lyrics, and also allows colors other than Red for coloring changes, and lets you run the plugin without showing the dialog after the first time it is run in a Sibelius session.

It also fixes a problem where all text in all bars that included selected text would be processed. Now only text which is actually selected will be processed.

Changes made by Bob Zawalich

In Sibelius 6 use the shipping version of this plugin.

Insert Current Dynamics

Added 16 Apr 2009 (last updated 27 May 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

Will insert the most recent dynamic (expression text) into all selected bars, or optionally into selected bars that follow a system or page break, double barline, or Rehearsal Mark. The dynamics may be parenthesized.

It cannot determine where a system or page starts, but if you lock the score or put in explicit page and system breaks, dynamics can effectively be placed at the start of systems.

If you want bold expressions, you must specify a Music text font. Valid fonts include Opus Text and Inkpen2 Text.

Updated 26 May 2009 to allow dynamics to be placed in the first bar of a system or page, even if the file is unlocked, when run in Sibelius 6.

Round Metronome Marks

Added 13 Jun 2009 (last updated 16 Jun 2009)

For use with Sibelius 6

This plug-in examines the entire score and rounds metronome marks, turning for example q=60.0003 into q=60~q=60.0003. So only the display is rounded; the tempo for playback isn't changed.

It will treat metronome marks it finds in metronome text or tempo text. It ignores marks that are already preceded with a tilde.

There's an option to round the metronome marks to the nearest proper metronome value, or you can round to the nearest x decimal places.

Add Tonic Sol-Fa

Added 22 Oct 2009 (last updated 22 Oct 2009)

For use with Sibelius 6

This version of the plug-in is for Sibelius 6.1, and fixes a problem whereby the sol-fa text added is moved around by Magnetic Layout.

Scale Numbers

Added 26 Oct 2009

For use with Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

This plug-in allows you to scale all numbers (with text) in a selection. It is ideal for scaling tempo and metronome markings in one automated swoop. In addition to being able to process both staff and system text, there is also a rounding function.
