Remove Trill Wiggly Lines

Added 14 Apr 2009 (last updated 18 Oct 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

This plug-in removes the wiggly lines from selected trills in a score. If there is no initial selection, the user is given a choice of changing every trill or cancelling the operation.

Behind the scenes, the plug-in shortens the length of a trill\'s wiggly line to zero. As such, trills are maintained as \"line\" type elements and keep their ability to sound a trill during score playback.

Replace Trill Symbols with Trill Lines

Added 18 Apr 2009 (last updated 18 Oct 2009)

For use with Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6

This plug-in replaces trill symbols that don’t play back with trill lines that do playback. It handles the standard trill symbol “tr” as well as the bracketed trill symbol “(tr)”, which are replaced with a trill line without the wiggly line. If there is no initial selection, the user is given a choice of replacing every trill symbol or canceling the operation.

This plug-in is useful if you receive a score from another copyist that used trill symbols or for scores imported into Sibelius from some other programs.
