Michael, I have been thinking more about your question.
One thing I have had to do sometimes, although it is a bit tricky, is to select
the score, then paste it into a new file, but at the proper position. That is,
the MIDI file might show up in Sibelius with everything one beat to the left or
right, if you know what I mean. Let's say your score begins with a quarter note
pick-up, and the piece is in 4/4 meter. If you're set-up does not recognize the
anacrusis, what should have been on beat four will actually show up to be on
beat one. To work around that incorrect presentation, I have had to select all
of the notes in the score, then copy them to a new score.

Hello list,
I am interested in using Sib Access as a way to practice piano music of
other composers. Obviously, in these situations I don't have a .sib file for
the music as i would for my own compositions. I am a much, much better
pianist than I am a composer, so it would be a true life changer if I could
solve this problem of how to see the music of others. I have been
brainstorming possible solutions to this problem for years, and have a
number of questions. Here's the first:
Can someone give me a list of all file types readable by Sibelius 5, beyond
the usual .sib? Have any of you had any success opening one of these file
types? I tried a .midi file of a Chopin piece and I could tell trying to use
it in Sibelius something was completely wrong.
