The more interesting option is to re-input pitches.  This lets you enter
pitches over an existing passage but keeps the rhythms that are already
there. 

There are some very practical uses for this but you'll have to wait  for the
tutorial on that one.

Stephanie,
You could also just overwrite your bass part. Sibelius overwrites notes, if
you enter notes on an already written section.

Thanks.  I'll try this later today.  I want to remove the notes from the
bass part and re-write it.  I might be re writing the whole lot yet.
Composers do that all the time.  Just when you think it's done, you aren't.
