__Prints a score and / or its parts for the current score, all currently open scores, or a folder of scores. __The plugin can display the Sibelius Print dialog, but it will appear once for each score and once for each set of parts printed, so only choose this if you really need the option. __Updated 24 November 2009. Added option to hide page numbers in printed scores. Note that the plugin cannot hide the first page number in a score, and so if these are visible they will appear in the printout. See Help for details. __Updated 8 February 2011. Fixed bug where printing a folder of scores did not properly print open scores from the folder. Now they are printed and left open. __Updated 31 August 2023. Version 01.60.10.Updated to work with score subsets. Option to bring up print dialog has not worked in ManuScript since Sib 6, and is disabled when run in versions later than Sib 6. __Updated 17 March 2024. Version 01.60.20.

Run Plugin On Folder of Scores

Version 02.60.10
Added 20 Nov 2015 (last updated 01 Jan 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 allows one to run a plugin, chosen from an alphabetized list of plugins, against the current score, all open scores, or a folder of scores. __By default, it will not save any scores processed; if you wish to modify and save scores, especially when processing a folder of scores, you should choose Save scores after plugin is run. If a folder is processed, all previously unopened scores will be closed and optionally saved. Previously open files will be left open, and may be saved. __Most plugins, especially those that bring up a dialog every time, will not be well suited for being run in this manner. Some, such as Find and Replace Text, have an option to hide a dialog after the first time it is run, and these can make good use of this plugin. Scores opened in a folder will always be fully selected with a system passage selection when passed to the called plugin; previously opened scores can be made to be fully selected. __The plugin can be used by plugin developers to write a simple plugin, taking advantage of the framework this plugin provides to have it process a folder of scores. __Updated 17 December 2015. Added additional plugin Run Plugin on Score And Parts which lets you choose a plugin to be run on the full score and all the parts of the current score. This plugin is suitable for being run from Run Plugin On Folder Of Scores. __Updated 19 December 2015 to allow better interaction for the plugins. You can now turn off the progress bar in Run Plugin On Score and Parts so the progress bar in Run Plugin on Folder of Scores will be retained, among other tweaks. __Updated 19 March 2016. Updated Run Plugin On Score And Parts to process parts in same order as the Sib parts list, which is different from the order they are given to a plugin __Updated 16 December 2017. Updated Run Plugin On Score And Parts to include a Find Plugin edit and buttons. Also changed order of processing so the full score, if processed, is processed after the parts so that changes to the score do not affect the parts. __Updated March 13, 2018. Fixed problem in the Open Scores option where running a plugin that generated new scores would cause those scores to also be processed. Thanks to Dick Jackson for pointing this out. __Updated 29 November 2018. Version 02.20.00. Updated Run Plugin on Folder of Scores to have a Find Plugin button, making it easier to pick the desired plugin. No changes made to Run Plugin On Score and Parts. __Updated 22 January 2020. Version 02.50.00 for Run Plugin on Folder of Scores, and 02.10.00 for Run Plugin on Score and Parts. Added routine CloseQuietly, which is a substitute for the disfunctional Close-False command. This will close scores that the plugin opens without saving changes or asking you to save changes, which makes running a batch process much nicer. __For plugin developers: Run Plugin on Folder of Scores is in the public domain. Code can be reused or modified without need of attribution or permission. There is no support for any modified code, so its use is entirely at your own risk. __Updated 24 January 2020. Version 02.51.00 for Run Plugin on Folder of Scores, and 02.10.00 for Run Plugin on Score and Parts. Modified the CloseQuietly routines to attempt to prevent backup scores being written for scores processed in a folder. If the Backup Scores folder is in the default location with the English name, the plugin will remove unwanted backup scores, otherwise they can either be ignored or manually removed as needed. __Updated 1 February 2020. Version 02.52.00 for Run Plugin on Folder of Scores, and 02.10.00 for Run Plugin on Score and Parts. Cleaned up list box handling to prevent having to explicitly select a list box entry to choose a plugin. Now the first entry in the list is always selected when the dialog comes up, but after the first time run in a session the last plugin run will be at the top of the list, and you can just type Enter to run it again on a folder of scores. __Updated 10 February 2020. Version 02.54.00. Cleanup for cases where a called plugin might close the passed in score. __Updated 16 February 2020. Version 02.55.00 For Run Plugin on Folder of Scores, and 02.10.00 for Run Plugin on Score and Parts. Fixes for issues with saving scores. __Updated 9 July 2020. Version 02.56.00 for Run Plugin on Folder of Scores, and 02.10.00 for Run Plugin on Score and Parts. New simpler CloseQuietly routine implemented __Updated 9 July 2020. Version 02.60.00 for Run Plugin on Folder of Scores, and 02.10.00 for Run Plugin on Score and Parts. Changes were made only to Run Plugin on Folder of Scores. __CloseQuietly was again improved.You can now specify whether the full score or the current active part of a score should be passed to the called plugin, and whether scores that had been opened by Run Plugin On Folder of Scores should be closed by the plugin. The ability to save preferences (implemented by calling the plugin Add Plugin Preferences Lib) is now available if Add Plugin Preferences Lib is installed.There is also a Help dialog that explains some of the issues in more detail. __Updated 16 April 2021. Version 02.60.01. No code change, but changed the zip file to only contain Run Plugin On Folder of Scores, with Run Plugin On Score And Parts getting a separate entry. __Updated 1 January 2023. Version 02.60.10. Updated to sync with changes made to Add Plugin Preferences Lib.

Delete User-Editable Files

Version 01.17.00
Added 18 Feb 2020 (last updated 18 Feb 2020)

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

Lets you delete any .sib or .lib files in any of the subfolders of your User-Editable Files folder, including the subfolders for House Styles (.lib) and Manuscript Papers (.sib). To delete user plugins use File-Plug-ins-Edit Plug-ins. See Working With Files in the Sibelius Reference.

This plugin can only delete files you have created yourself, not files that ship with Sibelius (which is a good thing).

Choose a subfolder name, and then use Delete to delete any of the files in that folder. After deleting files you may need to close and restart Sibelius to ensure that there is no in-memory copy of any of these files still in use.

Be sure that you want to delete these files - there is no Undo available.
