Hi George
I can imagine, that the problem, why UK-keyboard layout works better than
US-keyboard layout is, that for running the access plug-in control+` is
used. The scripts call for this keystroke, so that the costumer gets fitback
of the selected item. May be this `-key is on a different place on a
US/kezboard. I'm sure, the developers will figure this out. They did already
much more complicated things. And I will help, where I can.
Regards
Claudio

Hi Claudio,
I think it is important to stress at this stage that, the development has
been done using a UK-English layout keyboard, which in turn most likely
explains why this works best.
For the developer's benefit however, I would stress the importance of trying
to get hold of an actual US-English keyboard. (Hopefully I may have one
somewhere here I can lend you) Two fundamental differences are that there
is no key to the left of the Z key, and both left and right Alt keys send
out the same scan code.
As far as am aware (or from what I've experienced over the last 20 years or
so) the UK keyboard is closest to those used in Europe, especially in terms
of generating a third character using the right hand Alt Gr key.
If there are specific keystroke problems, may I suggest your report includes
the following.
1) PC Keyboard or Laptop.
2) The keyboard layout in use. E.g. UK-English, French AZERTY, German, etc..
3) The keystroke(s) causing the problem. (and also spell out things like "`"
keys - grave accent)
4) The actual location of the physical keys used above. E.g.
left of the one on the number row. (Bear in mind laptop keyboard layouts
vary tremendously.)
George.

I'm using Sibelius5.2 with Sibelius Access with success. The only thing,
which is important to know and isn't mentioned anywhere or at least I didn't
read it, is, that the PC keyboard layout should be set to UK or US-English,
so that things work best. I think, this is so, because the plugin which is
automaticaly triggered by the scripts is called by "control+`. And for some
reason, which I don't understand, UK-English is even better than US-English.

Claudio

Since the initial flurry of messages, all is quiet. Dan, I presume then that
your one and only bug was found and resolved. That's a resounding hurrah!
for your scripts, even if possibly premature.
I've not purchased the Sibelius 5.2 upgrade yet, so still in monitor mode.
Good work, all around.
Dave
