Kevin, You should have the guide installed. Press INSERT+F1 twice or press CONTROL+F1 and choose the first item. The docs are still embrionic but there's definitely a topic on playback which should help clear this up. I think the confusion is arising over the playback line verses the selected item. Just to clarify: F6 speaks the position of the selected item. CONTROL+F6 speaks the position of the playback line. P starts playback from the position of the selected item. SPACE starts playback from where it last stopped. CONTROL+SPACE rewinds to where playback last started from and plays from that point.

I only have the Milestone doc and that didn't mention F6 in that contexts that I knew. On review, using F6 gives me the position from which I started playback, not the position at which I stopped. I have enough vision to understand that the position read by F6 relates to the selected note which was the position at which playback began. I do understand that starting and stopping with the space bar does cause you to progress from your last stop point. However, the only way I can figure out what that position was is to use the go to playback line using the g in the playback menu. Also, while playback appears to be read from the position at which I stopped when play stops, it is only read in seconds not in bars when play stops. Is this a verbosity setting? What is the optimum screen magnification for playback? Does that even matter? I'm only now digging into this because I finished mixing my album yesterday and need to get away from that project with this one. It's an amazing thing you've done.

To summarise, Press CONTROL+F6 to hear the position of the playback line in bars and beats. Pressing SPACE starts and stops playback in the traditional pause/play fashion, so playback continues from where you left off. Pressing CONTROL+SPACE starts playback from the previous point where you started playing from. Sibelius calls this replay. -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kevin Gibbs Sent: 11 September 2008 22:09 To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sib-access] Follow-up Following up on my last question, it looks like when you use the playback and stop, you're returned to where you started play. Is that correct? Can you resume play from the position at which you last stopped?
