Dale,
Bad news. All the excerpts I've given are from a text version that I created
from PDF. You can either use Adobe to save as text, or use an OCR like the
Freedom Import Printer from Openbook to do all the recognition and convert
to text.
Then I've been constantly editing the text file over two years as I read
through it, removing superfluous stuff and excess characters, line breaks,
etc. to ultimately come up with a very usable text file for my own purposes.
Now if I had permission from Sibelius to send this to you I would, but
without that permission it would violate copyright. Besides all the text in
the original file is not there, since I don't like to slog through all the
license, disclaimers, etc. when I read, so it's not even a true copy of the
original.
You may have to do the same for yourself if you really want to start reading
the manual.
Good news is that once you've done all the cleanup work, there is one heck
of a lot of powerful information in that manual, and Mr. Spreadberry is a
rather humorous author, at times.
Dave

Subject: [sib-access] Difficulty with Sibelius Manual
Dan,
Through the years I've tried utilizing the electronic, Sibelius
manual-that is, F1 Help. The most success I've had is to make a text
file of the document, but it's rather unwieldy to manage. Would you
please give a tutorial-type, email explanation of what might work best?
I've seen you reference the manual, and I'm just crazy enough to almost
want to read the majority of it, that I might learn the program at a
higher level. Obviously, the links to each topic and sub-point of the
PDF would be desirable, but is an old-fashioned text search the ticket
for us?
Thank you for carefully considering the matter of the manual. It seems
to be one of the keys to "unlocking" knowledge of the software's
abilities.
