Hello Caglar,

I'm late to jump in on this,but it seems to me that your original question
was not answered. Simply put I think you want to have Sibelius automatically
break apart your two-hand MIDI file into treble and bass clefs into a grand
staff? To do this:

1. In Sonar first make sure you've quantized everything to both note length
and start times to minimize excess rests and weird note lengths.
2. Then combine both hands onto the same track and save as a new MIDI file.
Yes both to the same track.
3. Open this MIDI file in Sibelius and on the first page make sure the "only
one staff per track" is unchecked.
4. Go to the MIDI page  in the same dialog and allow Sibelius to
automatically separate on two staffs by selecting "C4" as the breakpoint.
I'm not looking at it right now, but it's a few tab steps down on that page
to get to those selections.

Sibelius will create the grand staff, moving all notes below "C4" to the
bass clef.

Dave

Subject: [ddots-l] Sonar and Sibelius


Hello to everyone,
I am using Sonar for some harmony home works for school. After playing my
progrations in Sonar I convert them to midi files and open them in Sibelius
to get the print out. But the problem I do not know how to fix is sibelius
prints everything in only one stave. Since it does it in only one stave, I
have lots of extra lines because of the bass clef. My guess is I have to
separate my keyboard in 2 sections to have 2 channel recording so that I can
have the both hands printed in regular piano format. This is something I do
just to save the time from typing everything in Sibelius.
Could you please tell me How I can do this in sonar, or is there a better
way of doing the thing I am trying to do?

Thanks allot
Caglar
