Starting
out
To
create
your
own
custom
worksheets,
start
a
new
score
(File
>
New).
In
the
Manuscript
list,
choose
treble
staff
(or
bass
staff)
and
then
work
through
the
remaining
steps
to
set
up
your
score.
Pressing
Escape
the
first
time
exits
whatever
mode
youre
in
(note
entry
mode,
text
editing
mode
etc)
Pressing
Escape
the
second
time
deselects
whatever
it
was
you
were
working
on
(the
note,
or
the
text
object
etc)
So, if you get into the habit of pressing Escape early on youll be a much happier Sibelius user!
Splitting
the
bars
up:
Make sure there are 4 bars in the line by selecting the barline at the end of bar 4 and pressing Enter
Next,
select
the
barline
between
the
1st
and
2nd
bars
and
go
to
Layout
>
Break
>
Split
System
to
create
the
break
Select
all
four
bars
(click
in
the
first
bar
and
then
shift-click
on
the
last
bar)
and
then
go
to
Window
>
Properties
Click
on
the
General
tab
and
then
increase
the
x
value
with
the
up
arrow
until
the
notes
are
in
a
central
position
Select the plain horizontal line from the Staff lines box on the left
In
this
example,
students
need
to
add
in
the
barlines
and
time
signature.
When
creating
the
question
in
Sibelius,
youll
need
to
put
in
both
the
time
signature
and
barlines
first
so
that
Sibelius
groups
the
notes
correctly.
Then
you
can
hide
them
in
your
score
so
that
they
dont
print
out.
For
a
4-bar
rhythm,
first
make
sure
there
are
only
4
bars
in
the
line
by
selecting
the
barline
at
the
end
of
bar
4
and
pressing
Enter
Add
a
time
signature
by
pressing
T
to
access
the
Time
signature
window.
Select
4/4
and
be
sure
to
uncheck
the
Allow
cautionary
box.
Click
OK
(you
mouse
pointer
will
turn
blue)
and
you
can
click
at
the
beginning
of
the
line
to
add
the
time
signature
into
the
score
Next, hide the time signature: click on it and then go to Edit > Hide or Show > Hide
Create invisible barlines by selecting each one and going to Create > Barline > Invisible
If
you
are
working
with
a
melody
or
rhythm
which
is
only
a
couple
of
bars
long,
it
can
look
strange
if
it
is
stretched
across
the
width
of
a
page.
You
can
indent
the
left
and
right
ends
of
the
stave
to
make
the
bars
shorter.
Create
your
short
rhythm
or
melody
first.
Select
the
barline
at
the
end
of
the
question
and
press
Enter
To
indent
the
system
on
the
left
side,
click
at
the
very
left
hand
end
of
the
staff.
A
small
purple
handle
will
appear
just
next
to
the
treble
clef
and
you
can
click
and
drag
it
to
the
right
To
indent
the
right
end,
you
need
to
locate
the
secret
hidden
handle
(!)
which
is
level
with
the
middle
line
of
the
staff
and
positioned
a
few
millimetres
after
the
staff
ends.
Once
youve
located
it,
you
can
drag
the
right
end
in
Create
the
rhythm
Because this is a rhythmic example, I created my rhythm using only the F space

you)
Setup
your

up
hiding

Turn

As
soon
as

the

may
squish
up

little
(its
a
good
idea
to
turn
off

you
now
have
