![]() ![]() The space after a cautionary Key Signature change is now not too wide.The “Combine Tied Notes and Rests” plugin is nice and fast when processing music in large scores. ![]() It’s now possible to add a Dashed slur to a grace-note.The space after a Key Signature and Start Repeat barline is now slightly wider and won’t collide with each other.This no longer happens with Spreads, Booklet or 2 Pages Per Sheet and avoids the problems where these would get reset to portrait paper rather than remain landscape, as is correct for these printing arrangements.

In previous versions, it was always a huge chore to get the correct spacing, especially when using gracenotes in multiple voices. Later in the year, we did a lot of work getting the default spacing of grace notes correct. Grace note spacing improvements in multiple voices The correct number of dots are now displayed on dotted chords with two or three notes.įor a complete rundown, see my previous post.Previously, Sibelius would only do this for notes that were in a space and not when on a line When dotted notes in multiple voices share the same pitch, Sibelius now correctly (and consistently) only shows a single dot.Sibelius now also takes articulations and stem direction into account when spacing notes.Spacing is now correct before a start repeat barline.Music is now correctly respaced when lyrics and guitar frames are deleted.Unison dotted notes of the same value now always share a rhythm dot.Crossing voices are now laid out head-to-head, rather than stem-to-stem as they were in previous versions.Semi-breves in two voices, same pitch, now go side by side and are not super-imposed.Leger lines of voices at the same rhythmic position no longer touch.Dotted minims and semi-breves in voice 1 no longer collide with simultaneous notes in voice 2.Rhythm dot spacing and placement is improved, esp.Unisons in two voices with different rhythms no longer collide.This, when combined with Magnetic Layout, provides the very best looking scores, right first time. Sibelius is now musically aware of how music should be spaced, and not only automatically adds space when needed, but also gets the spacing right every time, but also gives you the flexibility to tweak it as you need to. Sibelius 2018 introduced a complete overhaul in the way music is spaced. The keyboard shortcut to access this is now “,” (comma) so you can touch-type your way round every feature in Sibelius, making this the fastest way to use the application, by far (at least 50% faster than reaching for your mouse each time…) ![]()
