I save it as such, and also as full score. It has certainly been appreciated by the recording team on BBC sessions that I have directed. In the old days of hand copying, it was customary to include only top lines for this purpose, but I feel that the 6-stave condensed score is more useful in that it indicates density of orchestration. I'm presently writing for a big band in Scandinavia who require control scores for producer & sound engineer. Like David O'Rourke, I like to primarily score my big band charts on just 6 Focussed staves (Alto, Bari, Tpt, Tbn, Pno & Bass). I can explode to 5 saxes easily, and up to 8 or 10 brass staves providing that trumpets and 'bones don't overlap. Sib's own 'Arrange' feature can handle many more pick-up and distribution notes. That is the prime reason why I don't use the plug-in. > Great David, thanks, it would be nice if explode could MacBook Pro, 2.2 Ghz Intel Core Duo, 2 GB 10.6.2 IMac 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3 The new note entry method means you can enter articulations, slurs etc without leaving note entry mode, and IMO is worth the price of the upgrade!įor jazz copyists - enter your lead instruments and use Reinput Pitches function to change the pitches quickly - skips over all rests etc. Reduce is great for creating reductions of scores for study purposes. Obviously the above is for situations where 5 parts have been written - most arrangers I know don't write with the same harmonic density all the time.Įxchange StaffContents is very useful for the block writing scenario where one of the parts has repeated 8th notes and you want to eliminate them by simply swapping staves. I now have 4 parts in the alto ready to be 'exploded'. I delete the top 4 notes from the bari part and the bottom notes from the lead alto part. I copy all 5 sax parts to the lead alto part and the bari part. I use a select notes in Chord position to get around this.
I use the Explode plugin a lot BUT it will only only do up to 4 staves making saxes written in 5 parts an issue. In Sibelius 7 I've found myself comfortably sliding into the habit of creating a sketch score at the bottom of my regular score (Versions allows me to eventually save a score with no sketch staves as final print version). 7.0: "Sibelius tips for jazz arrangers" tutorials/docs? That said, DO'R's pdfs you provided presented some Sibelius things I wasn't aware of, so thanks! I was just curious whether anyone had taken the time to put a cheat sheet together of all of those arranging functional needs, showing shortcuts, menus, plug-ins that are useful.

That is, assuming one has some arranging skills, how do we do all the things we need to, or find them, within Sibelius (Sib7, preferably)? For instance, where in a hand written chart I'd have boxed instructions (e.g., 2nd/3rd xo, harmon, repeat for solos, out head / last time only, sparse free improv, etc) or chord changes with stemless slashes, or occasionally rhythmic slashes, or writing horn hits above stemless quarter note slashes.how does one do "that thing" in Sibelius? I wondered if my post might sound as if I were asking for actual arranging instruction, but what I'm really after is a list of jazz arrangers' "go-to" functionalities within Sibelius.

Anyway, if there are some good white page docs I could print out or forums or videos re: anything I've mentioned, that are helpful, please pass along the links! I just filled out a solicited survey with similar comments. It seems like Sibelius could incorporate more plug-in features, as for those above, as standard OOTB features. only the chord changes, not the measure of notes/rhythm), and other useful features and plug-ins, etc). I don't suppose there are any "Sibelius tips for jazz arrangers" tutorials out there, either in print or video? I'm finding some of what I need as I need it, but it would be great to see a few overviews / examples of arrangers using or finding certain features (chord changes, playback, house/score styles, music technique comments, rhythmic notation for drums, slashes, copying sections of any of these mentioned and pasting elsewhere (i.e.
