!Sibelius7/!Help/Timesignat

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 A TIME SIGNATURE

  � Move into the Rhythm�Time signature window
  � Type in the numbers for the top and bottom.
    The top can go up to 31, the bottom to 64.
  � Click on OK. The copying pointer will
    appear.
  � Point to the start of a bar and click
    Adjust. The time signature will be drawn on
    all the staves on the system.


MODIFYING TIME SIGNATURES

  You can put one time signature on top of an-
  other, to replace it. You can also Delete time
  signatures and copy them with Adjust. Time
  signatures can't be dragged, since Sibelius
  always positions them in exactly the right
  place.
