Sarah, again the function splits each staff into a separate window but they are all tracking and playing together, just as though they are on the same page. You can Ctrl-Tab between each window/staff to work on each in turn, as necessary. I remember the name of the function now -- dynamic parts. Look in the Window menu and you'll see a choice to go into that mode.

It's also the way you would print a score with just one staff out of many staves. Oh, I'm presuming you're using Sibelius 5.2.5.

I need to know the melody so I can write the other choral parts underneath it. I wish there were a way to write protect a staff so you don't make any changes to it and such. -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Carlson Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2009 3:49 PM To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sib-access] Re: Prevent one from editing a staff, and a question about sib access Sarah, Have you tried to hide the staff you're trying to not edit? Not sure if that would work. Or perhaps you can simply go into the mode where you only have one staff on each page (can't remember what it's called now) but that will give you only the staff you're working on and leave the others alone. If you're working on a staff with two voices and need to edit only one, then try selecting one of the voices, and copy it temporarily to another staff, and then edit what you need, and then copy and paste the voice back. Just brain-storming.

Is there way to not edit a staff? Example the melody I'm trying to harmonise? Also sib access also faulsly reports that the pluggin is not working but whenI test it it works correctly.
