Hi,
What I am trying to do has nothing to do with pitches, there are just sections
of music in a jazz arrangement where all you want to present in each measure is
one slash in each quarter note beat, with chord symbols aligned over the
appropriate beat, but there are no pitches, the slashes should go from the
second line up in a northeast direction to the fourth line. I will try the
things the two of you have suggested and hopefully one of them will accomplish
what I am trying to do.
If you want to know a bit of music trivia, I was taught in a jazz workshop that
these slashes are called virgules.

There's a Plug-in written by Bob Zawalich to transpose your selected
notes to the midline of the staff and change the noteheads to whatever
you need them to be.
Go to
http://www.sibelius.com/download/plugins/index.html?category=9&versionname=9
and hit the 2 on the numbers row till you hear:
Move Pitches to Transposed Mid-Line
Download the plug-in and install it.
Here are the steps for installation:
Download the plugin as a zipped file. Open the zipped folder and copy
the plugin file to the clipboard.
Go to root directory and find the "program files(x86)" folder.
Enter on this and find the "Sibelius software" folder.
open this folder and find the "Sibelius 5" folder.
Find the "plugins" folder and open it. Copy the plugin to the
respective subfolder e.g. the "add a pickup bar" plug-in went in to
"Notes and Rests."

Shift + 3 to make a "beat without stem". It should be a B4 beat or B4 beat
without stem.

Subject: [sib-access] how to make slash marks in staff
Hi all,
How do you make the slash marks within the staff on every quarter note
beat,
such as used in jazz or pop music to fill bars under chord symbols for
improv?
They should look like slash marks, almost all the time with no stems, but
once in a while you might need to stem and beam together a couple of eighth
note slashes to position a chord symbol on an offbeat, so if you could tell
me how to do that, too, thanks.
