!Sibelius7/!Help/Keypresses

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.

DELETE

  This deletes the selected object. When editing
  text, it deletes the character to the left of
  the caret.


ALT

  Alt with Adjust is used to copy notes, chords,
  rests and irrational rhythms into the second
  voice. It can also be used to type in special
  characters (see manual).


CTRL

  � Ctrl with some letters is a shortcut way of
    choosing from the menu; e.g. Ctrl-S (written
    ^S on the Lines menu) chooses a slur
  � Ctrl with some characters produces special
    music symbols when editing certain text
    styles; e.g. Ctrl-F produces the 'forte'
    symbol
  � Ctrl-X does the same as Delete. Ctrl-C does
    the same as clicking Adjust. Ctrl-Z desel-
    ects the selected object.

  Ctrl also forces contraints on some opera-
  tions:

  � Ctrl-Adjust makes a note or chord copy to
    the same pitch
  � When dragging slurs, ties and phrase-marks,
    Ctrl keep the arch in the exact centre
  � Ctrl prevents the right-hand end of lines
    from moving up or down when dragging. Useful
    for creating ties.
    

RETURN

  When editing text, starts a new piece of text
  down a line. When in windows, chooses OK or
  Print.
