I'm doing a proper write up on using laptops but this "stream of
consciousness" guide might
Not all laptop keyboards are the same, and the labels which are printed on
the keys will vary from one language to the next. This description is for
British keyboards only, so you will have to replace the relevant characters
for those which appear on your own keyboard.
The numbers on the keypad are now the numbers on the number row. This
includes the 0, so to enter a rest, you must type a 0 on the number row.
There is no equivalent for the plus key on the keypad since this only
changes the keypad layout and you can do this with F8-F12.
The remaining five keys are all mathematical symbols and these have been
transferred to the main keyboard as follows:
The Equals key (also Enter) on the keypad is now the forward slash "/" on
the main keypad. This is the key immediately to the left of the right shift
key.
The Decimal point (also the delete) on the keypad is now the period on the
main keyboard. This is the key immediately to the left of the forward slash
key.
The three keys on the top of the keypad (slash, star and minus) are now the
semi-colon, apostrophe and hash (number) keys on the main keyboard. These
are the three keys immediately to the left of the enter key.
To put this more artistically:
The top row of the keypad has been "transposed" to the three keys to the
left of the enter key and the two keys on the bottom row to the right of the
0 key have been transposed to the left of the right shift key.
Try saying that three times quickly!

Subject: [sib-access] laptop or desktop layout
Is there a table around with the laptop keystrokes for Sibelius or even
better a table, where you can compare desktop and laptop keystrokes?
I worked on a laptop with desktop access and added the keystroke
alt+control+enter for my ties, because my enterkey isn't considered to
alt+control+be
part of the keypad, even when keypad is turned on. Is this keystroke already
used for something?
Thanks
Claudio
