Hi Tim,
I've never used pitch bend on a track, I'd guessed there would be a lot of
controller messages which is why I emailed Annabelle, to tell her to just use
her pitch bend wheel.
I knew there'd be a lot of controller messages, I didn't know it was a
double-width MIDI message.
Wow it would take forever to put the info in one by one into the event view.
It would drive you around the Pitch Bend?

You might not enjoy that experience as the pitch wheel is a double-width MIDI
message. Normal MIDI CC messages have 2 to the power 7 possible values
(0-127), but the wheel messages has 2 tot he power 14, so uyou'll see an awful
lot of messages if you've done anything but a very small bend. The reason for
this behaviour is so that your bends can be executed smoothly, so 128 possible
values was too granular.
Best wishes.

Hi Annabelle,
Do you have a pitch wheel on the keyboard you are using? If so, try pressing
record on Sonar then, just holding down say C5 and bending the note. Now go
into event edit>
As you arrow down the numbers on the controllers may give you an idea of how
they form the bend.
I've never done this myself as I rarely use pitch bend, however, I do step
record and alter notes and controllers in the event menu quite a bit.

I would put in the pitch bend commands manually, however, I don't know if
there's a practical way to quantize just the pitch bend commands, for example,
by 16th notes, or 32nd notes. Especially since I can't work in the piano roll
view, without making a mess of the notes. I can only work easily in the Event
List.

Hi Annabelle,
I would record pitch bend whilst playing, the controller commands will
really start to get out of hand if you try to do it manually.
Garritan Jazz is my only exception when using lots of controllers, I use a
fair few to switch on and off doits, kisses, falls and occasional breathy notes
on the trumpet.

Hi, it's Annabelle.
I was just now reading the part of the Sibelius Manual that tells about
Pitch Bend commands, and I'm a little confused on one part. After I would enter
the initial range, ~C100,0, ~C101,0, ~C6,2, ~C100,127, and ~C101,127, what
would I enter for the ~B0 command for a quarter tone, a halfstep, and a whole
step? Would it still be things like ~B0,32, ~B0,40, ~B0,64, ~B0,80, ~B0,96, and
~B0,127? I'm confused!
