Hello Darcy,

I'm actually working in Sib 5 tonight. Here are some incredibly
frustrating things that I couldn't get Sib to do:
- insert a blank page in the middle of a document
Easy.
Insert a page turn (cmd-Enter), select its symbol and change it to
"special page turn" in the properties window.
You could make shortcut for that.
Thanks, that works for mid-document blank pages. But how about a blank
page the end of a document? I still can't figure that one out.
- add a Text Style that aligns to the vertical center of a page (I
use these for page number arrows)
There already is one:
Create -> text -> Empty pages test -> Simple text (centered)
Nope, that is only centered *horizontally*, not vertically.
- repeat the main headers (including page numbers) on added blank
pages
Works here automatically, though there are special text styles for
it, too.
This does not work for blank pages added to the beginning of a file.
I also always find it incredibly frustrating that there is no
mechanism in Sibelius for directly changing the font and/or font
size. Everything has to be done via Text Styles.
Hmm.
What would be more "direct"?
A font menu or panel! You know, like every other application ever. I
want to select the text, then modify the font or font size. Finale
even has keyboard shortcuts for modifying the font size.
If I want to change a single bit of text from 24 pt. to 27. pt., I
should not have to jump through all of these hoops to create or modify
a Text Style.
Cheers,
- Darcy
