I read through the Sibelius Manual, and there seem to be a few things I don't understand. For example, changing the percentage of the Rit and Accel, is that like "Coarse Tuning" and "Fine Tuning" within Sonar? -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Carlson Sent: Sunday, January 31, 2010 8:30 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: in tempo and rubato Annabel, You might get more response if you send this to the Sib-Access list. Another suggestion is that you edit the characteristics of accel and rit in the house styles menu. I'm no expert, but I think you'll need to look under the text styles. There's somewhere that you can change the percentage amount that accel and rit affect the beginning tempo. Best thing for you to do is to read the Sibelius 5 user guide and look for anything that talks about modifying the accel and rit text styles. That's your homework assignment for Monday.

In other words, I only want it to speed up or slow down gradually, but it goes too fast or too slow most of the time. What do I do? -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of neville Sent: Sunday, January 31, 2010 1:03 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: in tempo and rubato I asked this question on Friday, but I didn't get a response so I'm sending it again in case it was missed. I have a song that I'm working on in which the chorus is in tempo and the verses are in rubato. How would I accomplish recording this to the metronome in Sonar? I was thinking maybe I should do fit to improvisation but I would like the parts that are in time to be locked solid. Ideas anyone? Could I just record everything in time and then speed up and slow down the tempo when I'm done? This would work if I was using a midi keyboard but I'm playing guitar on this one. May the peace of God which passes all understanding gard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!
