I'm just getting started with sabelious myself. You said something here about the breakpoint being c4 do you set that up in sonar or in sabelious? http://www.gbrayton.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.

For example I have a piece for piano and cello saved as a single midi file in Sonar. When I try to open the file in Sibelius doing all the things you told me that I have to do, it still gives me a single stave instead of giving me 1 stave for the cello and 2 staves for the piano right and the left hands. I have no idea what I will do for my orchestral work which has 25 different instruments when I try to open it in Sibelius. If you may help me with this it is going to be a grate help for my school work.
