Updated 11 November 2010. Now if there is no selection you are taken to bar 1. Also fixes to Go To Previous, and it will now take you to the start of the current page if you are not on the first bar of the page, and if you are on the first bar it will take you to the previous page.

As before, the effect is similar to Go To Bar to the desired page - the target bar will have a system selection around it.

Select Range

Version 01.05.00
Added 22 Jan 2010 (last updated 07 Mar 2014)

Save or Restore Selection Outline

Version 01.10.00
Added 18 Feb 2010 (last updated 09 Oct 2017)

For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x

Saves a passage (blue box) selection so that it can be restored later. May be useful if you are performing multiple operations on the same materials, and filtering.

Note that only the location of the selection (which bars and staves are selected) is saved and restored. The contents of those bars and staves are neither saved not restored. Restoring just draws a box around whatever is in the bars at that moment.

Updated 18 Feb 2010 to make Restore the default button if enabled.

Updated 4 April 2011 to allow it to handle discontiguous selections. Also renamed it and changed the description in the dialog to make its purpose more obvious.

Updated 9 October 2017 to make it easier to quickly restore an outline if you assign the plugin to a sshortcut by reducing the need to have the dialog appear.

The dialog will now appear in 3 cases:

* the first time in a session

* if there is no saved selection AND the current selection is not a passage selection

* if there is a saved selection AND the current selection is a passage (so you can change the saved selection.

otherwise

* if there is a saved selection AND the current selection is not a passage, immediately restore the saved selection.

* if there is no saved selection AND the current selection IS a passage, immediately save the selection.

Go To Comment

Version 01.07.10
Added 26 Apr 2010 (last updated 31 Dec 2023)

For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x

__Provides a list of all comments in a score, optionally filtered by author, and lets you navigate to one of them. __There are 2 modes of operation. In the default mode (with the checkbox on), clicking in the listbox closes the dialog and takes you to the chosen comment. It is very fast if you use the mouse. __If you uncheck the checkbox, changing the selection in the list box brings that comment into view but the dialog stays up until you choose the Go To button. It is what you want if you navigate with arrow keys, and it lets you preview the comments. __The checkbox setting is remembered across Sibelius sessions. __Updated 29 September 2017 Reworked code for better speed in large scores. Also added positioning data to each list entry and added Trace button to write list to trace window. __Updated 10 January 2021. Version 01.05.00. Fixed problem with Line feeds in comment text. Needed to be in a list box and they messed it up. Now replace line feed/carriage return characters with spaces. __Updated 9 July 2021. Version 01.06.00. Fixed bug where the original selection as always restored at the end of the plugin. Now the original selection is restored on Cancel, but otherwise the last comment chosen will be selected at the end. __Updated 9 July 2021. Version 01.06.10. Make a change so that the score will reposition even if score position.follow selection is unchecked. __Updated 1 December 2023. Version 01.07.00. Added tracing of filtered comments. __Updated 30 December 2023. Version 01.07.10. Improved tracing and buffered traces for more speed in large scores.

Deselect Hidden Staves

Version 01.07.00
Added 04 Apr 2011 (last updated 16 Apr 2023)

For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x

__This plugin removes from a passage selection any staves that are hidden __* by Focus on Staves (if Focus On Staves is active) __* by Hide Empty Staves (if all bars in that staff in the selection are so hidden) __It does not deal with instruments hidden by instrument changes. (*updated later to do so - see below) __Two interesting uses are: __1. Select only the visible staves in Focus On Staves so the other staves do not play back. __2. Prevent a paste that includes hidden staves (usually hidden by Hide Empty Staves) from copying the hidden staves, and thus unhiding the destination. __If there is no passage selection, the plugin selects the visible staves throughout the entire score. (*changed later) __Updated 17 July 2020. Version 01.05.00. Fairly big changes. __ If there is no selection, the full score in no longer selected - that was a bad idea in my view. Now a dialog comes up and allows you to change how to decide whether to exclude a staff when there is a mix of hidden and visible bars in the selection. The default now is to exclude the staff is the selection includes ANY hidden bars. This is discussed in Help. __The plugin will now exclude bars hidden by an instrument change to No Instrument Hidden, if the bars contain no visible objects, which covers hidden parts of ossia staves. __Updated 31 March 2023. Version 01.06.00. No feature changes. Restructured so it could be more easily called by other plugins. __Updated 15 March 2023. Version 01.07.00. Rewrote visibility tests to be much faster for large scores.

Go To Text

Version 01.56.00
Added 10 Nov 2011 (last updated 07 Mar 2014)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x

This plugin lets you go to the next or previous piece of staff text, in any text style, relative to the current selection.

You can run it with no selection to change search direction.

You can type arbitrary text to use as bookmarks (hidden text starting with ~ is recommended, such as ~1, ~2, ~3 for easy to enter bookmarks), and use this plugin to find those bookmarks.

Updated 11 Nov 11 to select the bar containing the bookmark and move it to the upper left corner to increase visibility.

Updated 24 November 2011 selects the text, not the bar, so next finds work.

Go To Staff and Bar

Version 01.04.00
Added 06 May 2014 (last updated 17 Jun 2015)

For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x

Displays a list of the staves in the score, and another list showing all the (displayed) bar numbers in the score. Select a staff, and select a bar number, and the plugin will select the the destination bar or first note, rest, or bar rest in the destination bar, and make the selection visible.

One can often just choose a staff and hit OK. The plugin chooses the first bar in the selection by default, but the bar number may be changed.

This provides a navigation facility similar to that provided by the Sibelius 7.5 Timeline.

Move Selection Left/Right

Version 1.2
Added 26 May 2015 (last updated 12 May 2018)

For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x

These plugins are designed to make certain editing operations in Sibelius more efficient.

Copying objects is easy in Sibelius with shortcuts like "r" for repeat and Alt-click to paste but moving them can take many more steps.

These plugins will move one or more objects left or right to the next contextually sensible location. Selections containing notes and rests can be moved, as can selections containing lyrics, dynamics etc without notes. Most system objects (e.g. tempo indications, repeat signs) can also be moved.

They are designed to be assigned appropriate keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+Home/End for instance) so that they can easily be run repeatedly in order to move the selected objects to the desired position.

Please note:

  • The plugin will run slowly if large selections are being moved. Cutting and pasting is a better option in this case. It may also run slowly in very large scores.
  • Time-signatures can be moved but the bars will not be rewritten.
  • Partially selected tuplets cannot be moved.
  • Notes are not split when moved. A crotchet (quarter note) will not become two tied quavers (eight notes) across a barline.

Updated 12 May 2018. Now compatible with Sibelius 2018.4 and Higher.

X Y Offset

Version 01.11.03
Added 06 Apr 2017 (last updated 05 Apr 2023)

For use with Sibelius 6, Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x

__Sets the X and Y offsets of selected objects, as the inspector does (Absolute mode), or uses X and Y values to shift the position of selected objects (Relative mode). __It can serve as a replacement to the X Y positions of the Inspector in some cases, and adds the ability to shift the positions of objects. __As with any plugin, it can be assigned to a shortcut key. __It will adjust the right end of lines by the same Y amount the left end is moved so the slope of the line is unchanged. __By default, the initial focus is in the X edit box. If you run the plugin with no selection you can set the initial focus to go to the Y edit box instead. __Updated 22 April 2020. Version 01.07.00. Added ability to move just the left or right end of a line, in addition to being able to shift both ends at once. __Updated 14 September 2020. Version 01.08.00. Move both ends code was not adjusting right end. Fixed now. __Updated 16 September 2020. Version 01.09.00. Added ability to hide dialog during the Sibelius session and to retain the values from the last run in the edit boxes. __Updated 5 April 2021. Version 01.10.01. __Dialog controls were rearranged, and some new controls were added. The control to hide the dialog is now a 3-tate drop down listbox allowing you to show the dialog always, hide it for one Sib session, or hide it unless the plugin was run with no selection. The dialog will always come up if there is no selection. __Updated 17 April 2021. Version 01.11.00. __ Fixed Preview, which was net being reset. When the dialog comes up with no selection, the Previous and OK buttons are now disabled. Previously if you chose Relative and both values were zero, it was treated as an error. Now these settings will cause the selected objects to be reset to their default positions. A warning will appear the first time this happens in a Sibelius session. __Updated 18 April 2021. Version 01.11.01. Fixed crash when using the up and down buttons. Thanks to Michele Galvagno for pointing out the problem. __Updated 21 April 2021. Version 01.11.02. Added ability to have outside callers hide dialog. __Updated 5 April 2023. Version 01.11.03. No change in code. Updated version to force update. Includes helper plugins, which run without dialogs, and can be used with shortcuts for fine tuning. These require the plugin cmdutils, which must be installed: Set X Offset Left 06_CP, Set X Offset Left 03_CP, Set X Offset Right 06_CP, Set X Offset Right 03_CP.
