REQ: Sibelius 8.5 WiN/OSX
Further improvements in Sibelius 8.5
During the development of Sibelius 8.5, we’ve been able to squeeze in good collection of improvements and fixes that have come up either on the forum, directly to us, through our support team or elsewhere. Here’s a summary of what else the upgrade has in store for you:
Improvements since Sibelius 8.4
It’s now possible to change Normal staff size to a smaller value then Medium staff size value in Engraving Rules. Smaller staff sizes all decrease so you can no longer get these out of order.
We’ve made dialog appearance improvements to Engraving Rules > Staves with 200% DPI scaling on Windows with high pixel density displays.
Making a change to a staff size in Engraving rules, and then clicking OK (without having unfocused the staff size spin box) now makes the change in your score.
Tuplet brackets and numbers now scale neatly when working with smaller staff sizes.
Instrument changes from unpitched to pitched instruments now create key signatures automatically.
MIDI input works once more after changing from an unpitched to pitched instrument.
Cancelling out of Document Setup now cancels the unit selection you may have made.
On Retina displays, some text fields in several dialogs are no longer too short, for example in the File tab > Score info dialog.
In Sibelius’ Manuscript plug-in language, note.Deselect() deselects entire parent NoteRest when it should just deselect that note.
