Here's the deal, everyone.  There's apparently a difference between my
memories of Sibelius 3 and the reality of Sibelius 5 and that difference is
this.  I think it used to be that once you got into the chord symbols in a
chart, you could progress through chord symbols in a chart from beginning to
end.  Now, the situation is that you appear to progress through the chord
symbols of, say, a first bar and then you are put in the staff of the second
bar, after which you are shown the chord symbols for that second bar.  Jus
thought you'd like to know.     Dave, I wasn't interested in moving the
chord symbols as much as I was interested in finding out why I couldn't
simply tab to them.  The reason was because I was expecting the chords to be
attached to a staff other than the staff to which they actually were
attached.

K,

Edit menu, filter, and one of the sub-selections should be chords.

Failing that, then using the advanced filter and selecting text and chords
in the multi-list box should allow you to select them all, then perhaps cut
and paste to the treble clef staff. Also while selected use the styles menu
and change the position to the default. I would expect that to place them
above the staff instead of below the staff.

Ideas to try.

Dave

I found the chord symbols.  The guy who prepared the score wrote them below
the treble clef staff of a piano part instead of above the bass clef of the
same.  The net effect is to put the chord symbols between staves but not
where I expected them.  That said, I still have a problem.  If I go to bar 2
of the score in the right hand staff and shift tab, I go to the last chord
symbol in bar 1 of the part, not the first chord symbol of bar 2 of the
part.  And, I can only read the chords in bar 1 before being put back on the
bar rest in bar 2.  I still need a recipe for putting myself on the first
chord of a bar and, from there, being able to continue through all the
chords of the part.  Still don't know how to do that. Kevin If you wish to
