258: Hidden bars - how to skip when playing back

If you have hidden a bar or passage of bars and want to skip over them in playback, Sibelius 3 and later allow you to use jump to and marker text objects to achieve this. See Repeats in your documentation for more details.

In Sibelius 2, simply insert a very fast hidden metronome mark at the start of the hidden bar (e.g. whole note = 9999) and a hidden metronme mark at the start of the next 'real' bar reverting to the normal tempo.

For details of how to add metronome marks to your score, see Text in your User Guide.
