Annabelle,
The vast majority of users on this list have little or no sight and are not
able to use the mouse; Sibelius Access is after all software for
visually-impaired people. Also, I don't think that many of us have a sighted
helper sitting at our elbow all day.
The key is to use a little sighted help wisely. A sighted helper could, for
example, read the chapter called "3.1 Working with text" in the Sibelius
Reference to you. This is a very short chapter and tells you all of the
basics of editing text. You could then get them to watch while you try
editing a few pieces of text, just to make sure that you've got it right.

So I don't know how it went to the edit field. If you didn't see it anywhere
in the Reference Guide of either Sibelius 5 or Sibelius Access, I don't know
where I found it. Wouldn't it be smart to make a key command for editing
text, to make it easier for people like me who don't have the ability to use
a mouse, and who don't always have someone sighted there to help?

Annabel,
I just looked, and there is nothing in the Sib-Access guide about
Ctrl+Alt+e. I also checked the Sibelius 5 reference guide, and nothing
there, either. Nada. Zip. Zut.
Perhaps you thought Ctrl+Alt+Equals for 400% zoom level was it?
Otherwise, you'll need to cite the paragraph and document you looked in.

I'm not sitting at my DAW now so I can't test this, but I think that key
combination just allows you to enter an expression text?

I know in the Sib-Access Manual, I believe there's somewhere that says that
when you press CTRL+Alt+E, it's supposed to take you to the edit field of
the text that you're on. So I wonder why that won't work when I do that key
combination?

Depends on whether it's a staff text item, or a system text item.
Use the tab key to navigate to it, or use the edit/filter/advanced to look
for it, or if it's a system text item, use Alt+f2 to list system items and
select the one you want to edit.
This is very basic stuff, Annabel. Read the Sib-Access reference and you'll
learn more than posting questions.

To edit text, first make sure the text is selected. Then press Enter. Edit
your text. Then press Escape to close the edit field. Then press grave
accent or Tab to go to another part of the score.

Hi, it's Annabelle.
Isn't there a key command for "Edit Text" when you select text within a
score? I thought there was a key command of CTRL+Alt+E that took you to the
Edit Text field. Now when I try to press that key command, nothing happens.
Even when I've selected text. What do I do next?
