Sibelius Feedback Community Ideas

This hasn't been updated since version 6 and the palette still has 5 empty slots. Can we please get bends, shakes, jazz turns, etc.?

I'd love to have more strings articulations, and to hear them during playback, and after mixing. 1st.: The change from "sul tasto" to "sul ponte". You never can hear that change in playback, and it does not appear in the mix. 2nd.: Especially the double basses should have all the articulations available that there are for the other strings.

It would really help if one could add individual articulations to notes then hide them so they don't appear in the printed score. This would aid in sculpting a sound for playback without modifying the composer's written score. Currently, if one hides the articulation, the note also disappears. This should be similar to the hiding feature already used for dynamics and expressions, etc. Tweaking articulations allows one ...more »

When you are working with a score with multiple staves, and you insert a fermata on a single note in one staff, Sibelius should insert the same type of fermata in the same location on all other staves in the score.

That would make the insertion of fermatas easier, since fermatas affect the flow of conducting time during playback of in the score.

I would like to see more slots for user-defined/customized articulations.

At the moment there are only 3 for art. above and 3 for art. below the note.

This is insufficient.

It would be consistent with the Sibelius philosophy to include articulations in the "Alt-Click Copy" function. I have to put in string bowings all the time, and this would speed up my input a lot. At the moment selecting an articulation and AltClicking erases the note clicked, which is of course completely nonsensiscal.
