You can select the articulation from the keypad at the same time as the
rhythm. But I find that awkward unless you just need a few isolated
articulations. For me, articulation is most seamlessly applied to entire
regions (select any number of measures) rather than note by note. I also
stop entering notes from scratch and begin a copy, paste, and edit
routine as soon as possible. If you copy a passage that's already
articulated, attaching articulations becomes moot.
This is another case of Sib and Finale being "differently abled". You
can get to the same result but the path may be much different and some
may prefer Finale's while others prefer Sibelius'.

I, so far, find Sibelius extremely backwards. Like putting
articulations on notes after I enter them. Still can't figure that
out. Nor if you decide you want to change an instrument on a score.
So far, I've tried to do two trios with Sibelius, but ended up going
back to Finale cause it was just not working very well for me........

David, John,
thanks for the quick and competent answers.
Well, apart from the crashes, I get a quite good impression. And I
am glad
you two are here to answer all my future Sibelius questions. I must
say,
generally the user interface it quite nice and much more modern than
Finale,
and the output is flawless, which much less fiddling than in Finale.
So I
guess I am a candidate to switch, sooner or later...
Kurt: David is competent, I'm still very much learning. But you
might want to subscribe to the SibList at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] It's much like this list, not an
"official" Sibelius list, with the crucial difference that a Senior
Product Manager for Sibelius, Daniel Spreadbury, monitors the list
and answers questions quickly and honestly.
