Respell Flats as Sharps

Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 17 Mar 2008)

For use with Sibelius 3.x and Sibelius 4

The version of this plug-in that ships with Sibelius 3 and Sibelius 4 has two problems:

  • Any ties in notes that are respelled will be deleted
  • The plug-in produces incorrect accidentals for transposing instruments

This updated version corrects both of these problems.

For Sibelius 5, use the shipping version of this plugin

__Respell Uncommon Accidentals respells certain accidentals that are avoided in some musical styles. It will find and respell B# to C, E# to F, Cb to B and Fb to E. It can also respell double and triple accidentals. It assumes you know what you are doing in running it, and makes no judgments, but the author would like to remind the user that there are many musical situations where an E# is perfectly appropriate, and using this plug-in would produce incorrect musical notation. __You can run the Mark Enharmonic Pitches plug-in if you just want to know if you have these kinds of pitches in your score. __New in version 1.3: __This version shows both consecutive and displayed bar numbers in Sibelius 4, and has a new option to locate: write to text file or trace window uncommon accidentals without changing the score. __Updated 25 Feb 2014 to fix endless loop when processing written names in transposing instruments. Changed some dialog defaults. __ Updated 8 September 2017 to speed up the progress bar, and hopefully the entire plugin when run on large scores. __Updated 29 September 2017 speed up plus in Sib 8.3 and later changes made in a part will only affect that part __Updated 26 September 2023 Version 01.56.00. Restored coloring post Sib 8_3
