__Lists the names of all the staves in the score. __Click on a staff name in the list box to check or uncheck it. Checked staff names will be selected when the plugin ends.There is no keyboard access to the list, so you will have to use a mouse. __This can make selecting staves in a large score easier, since less scrolling will be required, and can be useful if you are going to use Focus On Staves. __Updated 22 February 2018. Change Select Staves to use a conventional multi-selectable list box, which allows forkeyboard selection, in Sibelius 7.1.3 and later. For Sibelius 6, the original plugin, which uses a special checkbox-style listbox that can only be used with a mouse, is also available and is now called Select Staves for Sibelius 6. __Updated 22 February 2023. Version 01.28.00. There is now a choice to select all bars or, if there is a passage selection, to take the range of bars from the selection. This can be used to extend a selection vertically when many of the staves are offscreen. If there is a passage selection, any staves in the selection will be chosen when the dialog comes up, but you must specify every staff you want in the resulting selection, so if you want the originally selected staves to be included be sure they remain chosen in the list box. __ The �Bars in passage selection� radio button is the default option if there is a passage selection. If there is no passage selection only �All bars� will be available. __ The partner plugin Select Staves for Sibelius 6 has not been updated. __Updated 3 April 2023. Version 01.29.01. Added option to skip hidden staves in the selection. This feature requires the most recent version of the plugin Deselect Hidden Staves. __ The partner plugin Select Staves for Sibelius 6 has not been updated. __Updated 15 April 2023. Version 01.30.00. Added option to show only visible staves in the list box. This feature requires the most recent version of the plugin Deselect Hidden Staves. __ The partner plugin Select Staves for Sibelius 6 has not been updated.

When adding lines to such a selection, the lines will often extend into the following bar. This plugin move the end of such a selection to end end of the previous bar so lines will end where you expect them to.

Replace From Clipboard

In Sibelius, if you have a single object selected with a non-passage selection, and then paste a copied object, the original object will still be in the score, along with the pasted object. Sometimes this is not what you want. This plugin *replaces EACH * selected object with the contents of the clipboard. You will be warned if there is nothing in the clipboard. It will only work if the copied data to be pasted is a single Sibelius Bar Object, such as Text or a Line. The selection of objects to replace cannot be a passage selection. Be very aware that the paste will replace ALL selected objects, so be sure you want all such objects replaced. The horizontal and vertical position of the pasted objects is taken from the original objects. The pasted objects will be selected when the plugin completes. If the plugin is run with no selection, an informational dialog will come up. Initial version 01.06.00 4 September 2022.

__Select Barline After Last Selected Object and its companion plugin Select Barline Before First Selected Object are included in the same zip file, and both will be installed when you install Select Barline After Last Selected Object. __These plugins select either the default barline or the Special Barline after the last selected object or before the first selected object. __They are intended to make it easier to select a barline by selecting a bar or any object in a bar and running the plugin, rather than having to click on the barline itself. __You must also install the most current version of the plugin cmdutils in category Engravers Tools to use these plugins. __These plugins are dedicated to Ilkay Bora Oder. __Updated 20 December 2023. Version 01.07.10. Select Barline Before First Selected Object will now select the initial barline at the start of the first bar if there is no Start Repeat barline in Bar 1.

Fixed typo that caused crash. __Updated 12 January 2024. Version 01.07.20. Corrected filename of Select Barline Before First Selected Object to remove trailing blank. No code changes.
