I have never written anything resembling a cadenza in Sibelius, but one way of doing it is to hide bar lines and time sigs. Also, as far as I know and for an example, one could write a 47/16 time sig for one long bar and then hide the time sig. Play back would be something else altogether. I write pickup bars in Sibelius all the time. Very simple to do. I think starting in version 3, Sibelius takes care of the bar numbering problem that could be created. I've been known to forget to make the next bar complete thus wasting a minute, but that may be fixed in version 3 too. I haven't used version 3.1 yet. Each version has been a big improvement. I wish Sibelius would go back to publishing little fixes for downloading rather than making us wait a year. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
