Hi Alison,
I haven't forgotten about you. I'm putting together some topics for laptop
users but I need to make them consistent with the other topics I'm working
on so it may be a few days before I can get something out.
In the meantime, you need to check which keyboard layout Sibelius itself is
using.
If you open the preferences dialog (Ctrl+Comma) you'll find a list of about
15 items. These are the pages of the dialog and the first item will be
"display". Arrow down to "menus and shortcuts" and then press tab once. This
should put you in a combo box which lets you choose which keyboard layout to
use.
Just to make things interesting, JAWS will tell you that this combo box is
called "menus and shortcuts".
You need to select the item called "AccessLaptop" and then press the OK
button to close the dialog.
Hope this helps,
Dan Rugman

Hi again, Dan,
I've been looking in the access manual and can't seem to spot hints for
using Sibelius with a laptop. I have switched to Laptop in the jaws options
before opening Sibelius and laptop is now there which is great. I can't seem
to change my note durations. I have tried pressing F8 and then number 5 for
example; it didn't like that because it wanted a note to work with. However,
when I did input a note which is default at quarter note, when I tried to
alter its duration it thought I was referring to intervals and started
making fantastic chords. lol.Can you put this poor lassy out of her
technophobic misery? lol.
Kind Regards,
Alison.
