You can also use this technique from the other side of the multirest – attach the graphic or text to the last bar before the start of the multirest, and offset it to the right. With a little experimenting, you’ll get the hang of it quickly. Use a positive number to move the object to the right, a negative number to move it to the left. Measurement here is in Spaces, with 12 spaces equal to one inch.

To keep the multirest from breaking after a layout update or note entry, select the bar just after the multimeasure rest, then enter the text or place the graphic, attached to the downbeat of that bar, then use the X Offset of the Properties Palette (or Inspector) to move the selected graphic (or text) to the left. View – Attachment Lines (available in every version of Sibelius, dating back to v1.0 in 1998) is a helpful way to see which bar the text or graphic is attached to. If that location happens to be somewhere in the middle of your multi-rest, it will break the multirest at that bar: When you are in the Score, as you drag text left or right, or if you select a bar to place a graphic (or text), it will be located at that point. Suppose you want a graphic to appear in the score and parts at a location prior to the barline, over the multirest: In Sibelius 7, the Properties Palette was renamed “The Inspector”, but for all intents and purposes, it is still the same tool.

How can I place the graphic above the staff and keep the multi-measure rest at the full duration?Ī: From version 2 of Sibelius onward, the Properties Palette has provided a good solution for controlling placement while keeping multimeasure rest integrity. Postscript: i don't want to take the time to do it by hand (on bar after another bar) for the reason that it consumes time and i have a lot of other Sibelius files unsorted.Īlso, it wouldn't matter for me if the chord symbol above the staff does not copy itself.Īn easier method below suggested would be very appreciating.Q: I’m trying to import a graphic onto my score, but whenever I place it where I want it, the multi-measure rest breaks in a way I don’t want it to. My first aim is to transform every 4/4's bar into a 4/2's bar with a whole note rest at the end of every measure in the score.Ģ) My second aim is to replace every whole rest (at the end of every measure) with quarter notes from the other Sibelius file, which is called "Modal Functions"ģ) The mistake that i get when i select bars 1-16 (home–> select bars–> end of score) and change time signature from 4/4's to 4/2's (notations–> time signature) is that all the notes end up in one bar, since i specifically only aim to change the key signature (of every 4/4's bar) to 4/2's and to leave a whole rest after the first four quarter notes in every measure.Īfter that i am unclear about what goes after the process of changing time signatures while later inputting quarter notes from the other Sibelius file into the 4/2's measure endings (whole rests).
