Right clicking does not bring up any context menu that has OTHER in it.
I get Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Capture Idea, Voice, Hide/Show, Color
and Apply Color...
However, in the menu, there is Other buried under Create......
Sibelius 5.1.......frustrating......

Eric this may be what you want.
1. Right click on a blank part of the page for the context menu. At
the bottom of the menu is "other". Open that up.
2. Select "change instrument"
3. Pick an instrument from the list.
4. Click the now blue (="loaded") arrow where you want to change the
instrument. You will get a transposition and key and/or clef
change as needed as well as a text instruction to the performer to
change to the instrument.
5. If you want to change the stave for the entire score, click in the
left margin just to the left of the staff. It will change the
staff and look as if the new instrument had been the choice fromt
he beginning.
I think that having multiple ways of doing things has a lot to do with
familiarity. I really like Sibelius' step time entry. There are so
many ways to enter music that I am constantly changing my approach to
fit the particular circumstance. Conversely, I find Finale's Speedy
Entry restrictive but many of the workers on this list would
certainly disagree. These two are just "differently abled" and the
versatility is good for us all.
