!Sibelius7/!Help/Underlay

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.

CREATING UNDERLAY

  � Transcribe the notes for the passage you
    want to write underlay against

  � Choose one of the Text�Underlay styles

  � Click Adjust beneath the first note of the
    passage. Sibelius will position the caret
    at a standard distance below the stave

  � Start typing words.

    To advance to a new syllable, press '-' once
    for each note the current syllable lasts
    for. So after a four-note syllable, type
    '----'. This does not specify the number of
    hyphens that will appear - that depends on
    the note-spacing.

    To advance to a new word, press the space
    bar once for each note the current syllable
    lasts for.

  � When you reach a rest, click Adjust below
    the first note of the next phrase to
    continue.


EDITING UNDERLAY

  Underlay is edited just like other text, a
  syllable at a time.

  Additionally, you can adjust the length of
  lyric lines and lines of hyphens by pressing
  Select on the right-hand end and dragging.
  For lines of hyphens you may have to click
  somewhat to the right of the last visible
  hyphen (because the line can extend invisibly
  beyond this).
