This powerful feature automatically creates separate instrumental parts-and instantly updates them as you make changes to the score.
Unlike other programs that require you to extract instrumental parts from the full score, Sibelius provides Dynamic Parts. And though you’ll probably never need to, you can even set which objects’ positions matter most, how much white space to allow around them, and which ones to align. You can also turn off Magnetic Layout for individual objects or the whole score. It adds extra space between instrument families to make large scores easier to read, and saves space between other staves that don’t have much on them.īut there’s more: advanced users can freeze the positions of objects for complex engraving situations. Staves behave just as intelligently-Sibelius can optimize the space between them to allow room for low/high notes, lyrics, tempo markings, and rehearsal marks. And on the rare occasion things get so tight that Sibelius can’t prevent a collision, it will mark it in red so it’s easy to spot and fix. Tempo marks, chord symbols, and many other objects also organize themselves neatly while avoiding collisions.ĭrag something across a complex score, and other objects will helpfully jump out of the way. Lyrics shift out of the way of low notes, but stay lined up in verses. They’re attracted into neat rows and columns, and repelled by other objects, making the best use of space on the page.ĭynamics line up in rows and columns, while avoiding notes, slurs, etc. While you’re writing music, the dynamics, lyrics, chord symbols, rehearsal marks, and all other objects quietly shift around to make sure your music is as clear as possible. You get truly professional results–with much less effort.
Magnetic Layout makes objects like slurs, accidentals, and tuplets stick to notes, and repels other objects to avoid colliding with them. This one feature saves so much time, it may be the greatest revolution in music engraving in 20 years. Magnetic Layout takes care of almost every detail of score layout for you.
