!Sibelius7/!Help/Attachment
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

CONTENTS Definition Places objects can't go Horizontal attachment Vertical attachment See also Stave and system markings DEFINITION Most objects are 'attached' horizontally to rhythmic positions in the music, and vertically to particular staves. If you drag a note left or right, or a stave up and down, all objects attached to it will move around as well. PLACES OBJECTS CAN'T GO To the right of a system there is no rhythmic position for objects to attach to. Similarly, in totally blank areas of the page there are no staves to attach to. Hence you can't put objects (e.g. text) in these places, or Sibelius would not know where to move them when the score was reformatted. HORIZONTAL ATTACHMENT Objects placed directly over a note attach to that note. Objects placed between two notes attach to a point between the notes (see manual for details). Text and other objects put to the left of a stave attach to the first bar of that stave; so to ensure the bar stays at the start of the stave, you should put a system break at the end of the previous system. VERTICAL ATTACHMENT Text, lines and transfers between two staves can be attached to either staves. This matters for part extraction, so Sibelius knows which part to put a marking into. When you copy or select a piece of text, a line or a transfer in an ambiguous position, a hand-shaped pointer appears pointing to the stave it is attached to. When you drag a piece of text or a transfer from one stave onto another, it will attach to the new stave, and the hand pointer will reappear pointing to the new stave. $
